That's not even a hot take other than invoking Zeke as if Zeke wasn't the starter and goal line was all he did. Otherwise yeah Leupke should be the short yardage guy, it's not a hot take.

One complaint I do have from today, aside from our lack of a consistent running game, (which is our biggest problem in the redzone, imo) is our over reliance on the WR screen. Once or twice a game, I can see. But it seemed we were calling that almost every possession there for awhile.

If we insist on running screens, which for the most part I like, throw more of them to the backs. Pollard, Deuce, even Leupke. I think they'd feast. You can almost tell by our formations when a screen is coming to the WRs. And if we can see it, you damn well know a professional D coordinator can.

This kind of stuff cant be tolerated. I highly suggest that the 49er get a 1 game suspension.

Purdy may be elite.

He's not.

 

[Texas Ace]

This is the assessment that I think is fair and accurate.

We're not frauds and we're not a bad team like some people would have you believe, but just how good are we? It's hard to really say after these four games but I think we'll get a much clearer understanding after next week's game.

With that being said, I do believe we are one of the three best teams in the NFC.

 

[Foobio]

Purdy must be exposed

Dowdle struggles to stay healthy.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I don't agree with "enjoy the win or go away", but yeah, a retarded day to go after Dak.

Which would explain why defenders were on top of our receivers so quickly after the catch.

I told you guys this about Leupke since his senior year at NDSU. That we needed him.

Maybe now you guys will accept me for the football savant I am, and never again question anything I say.


One small thing, tho. He wasn't just a short yardage and redzone specialist in school. The dude would straight up dominate games all over the field. I realize it's a pretty big jump from NDSU to the NFL. But the guy has skills we should be using. He is a lot better receiving back than people realize. And we're seeing he has a little wiggle in the running game, too. And he can block.

I hate to compare him to The Moose. So I won't. There may never be another Moose. But I think Leupke can be the best FB type player we've had here since then.

Maybe more Mike Alstott than Moose.

Maybe instead of go away it should be STFU.

 

[NoDak]

Maybe more Mike Alstott than Moose.

I remember Alstott being a hammer running the ball, but not much of him as a receiver. Was he good at it? I honestly don't remember.

And I know he was there the same time as Warrick Dunn. Did he lead block for him? I don't remember that, either.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Maybe more Mike Alstott than Moose.

Nothing at all like Alstott.

 

[Texas Ace]

Maybe more Mike Alstott than Moose.

That's who I think of too but he's a better blocker than Alstott.

Alstott had some very impressive wiggle for such a big guy.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Maybe instead of go away it should be STFU.

No, not even STFU.

Just don't be retarded.

Stop trying to make the facts fit your agenda instead of the other way around.

 

[NoDak]

I am disappointed that Leupke didn't get more of a chance to run the ball with our big lead. Especially considering Rico was hurt and didn't play in the 2nd half.

Fix that shit, Fat Mike.

@NoDak, did you send Sturm some $$?
