The Cowboys lost their main short-yardage option when they released Ezekiel Elliott, and Luepke could well fill that role in addition to being used as a lead back. In college, he was also used as a ball carrier and a receiver as well as a blocking back. Hunter Luepke was signed as a fullback, his college position, but he could turn out to be much more than that. (For those of a certain age, you know I was thinking that in a fake German accent.) That is one way Schoonmaker’s impressive ball skills in college could be very useful, and Hendershot has shown he in particular can be a deep threat. Two and three tight end sets are normally seen as running packages, but McCarthy and Brian Schottenheimer have a chance to really cross defenses up by sending these tall guys into the pattern and attacking the seams and middle of the field. Schoonmaker is seen as the replacement for Dalton Schultz, at least in the long term, but all can be very useful as receivers.
The Cowboys added second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker to Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot. If both of the smol players show up on the field at any point in camp, I may get giddy. Even the threat of that is valuable as it could draw attention from CeeDee Lamb or Brandin Cooks. Both have an opportunity to evade defenders and either cut across the middle or streak deep. Imagine a formation that deploys Vaughn and Turpin in a bunch or stacked alignment out wide or in the slot. Many have been wanting to see Turpin more involved in the offense in addition to his proven return skills. For some of us more creative thinkers, he also brings an opportunity to pair up with another player on the small side, wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin. His college tape hints strongly that he can be a weapon with his elusiveness and apparent ability to get lost by the defense. Now he is on the 90-man roster for camp and we await what the staff will do with him.
Many of us shared his affection for the diminutive running back, and were far too excited when he was indeed selected with a sixth-round compensatory pick. on Twitter used the term “smol” to refer to Deuce Vaughn, who he championed as a selection for Dallas. There is one who has done exactly that for the Cowboys. Previously unknown people use various platforms to put out ideas that become popular or at least well known, the memes. This is the era of social media influencers. With all that in mind, here are some things we should at least see getting the tires kicked.Ī bit of digression. Some attention will also have to be paid to any and all hints about how Mike McCarthy’s offense is going to evolve from last year’s. There are a lot of things they might try to see if they want to carry them into the fall. On a personal level, the best part about camp and, to a lesser extent, preseason games is what the coaches are up to. Make sure to subscribe to our network so you do not miss any of our shows!

That may be a bit justified as Jalen Tolbert and Simi Fehoko may well be fighting for their spots as well. There will still be the usual stir over unexpected names, with unwarranted excitement over some UDFA wide receivers an unwritten rule for each year. Both could well wind up not making the 53-man roster, in their case because the entire defensive line is flat out loaded. We are seeing players like Dante Fowler and Neviille Gallimore in situations that are usually filled by much less accomplished talents.
This year is a bit different, because there is a lot of depth on this team, especially on defense. Every open practice rep will be scrutinized and analyzed far beyond what is really logical. Even though the first regular season game will still be weeks away, the camp battles will truly begin. Part of my stance on the matter has to do with the return of real football news. It’s less than a month until the annual Dallas Cowboys pilgrimage to Oxnard, California signals the start of another NFL season.
