Hunter Luepke Is Ready To Shine In The Upcoming Year || Film Study 🎥

so let's go over some current Cowboys that we need to take a the next step in order for us to have a successful season this season and that are due for Next Step uh for this season um we need this to happen due to the lack of moves in the um front office the our guys philosophy so we got to see pay attention to guys that are due for that next step first guy being Hunter luki uh F our fullback yes is very very important the fullback yes the fullback fullbacks and tight ends are near and dear to my heart especially as an old lineman um because they're extension of the o line uh they they are in very important crucial in the Run game um I'm going to go over like uh the Personnel split back eye formation offset eye millions of times that like you know we should be using a fullback um I just felt this is important because I'm going to go over this trend as well but the Cowboys at one point struggled in the red zone and my one of my biggest gripes with offenses is when we get close to the Red Zone it's time to score and we get too cute with the offense get too too too flashy with the offense when it's just it should be simple straight to the point eye formation a run game is so important a short yardage Run game is so important and a fullback is the one leading the charge because yes the old Lama can do so much but look the boxes gathered in tight so there's going to be leakage and we he the running back is going to need a direct escort and we talk about physicality injectors you know thermometers on the team fullback comes to mind this is a guy who's working all you know throughout the game and won't show up on the stat sheet but look when when they make a great play their impact is felt you think about the good fullbacks in the league right now the first name that comes to mind is our Rivals over there in Santa CLA at you know San Francisco being us Che and how like vital he is into the offense over there like and The Mastermind they have up there he he he uses him as a Swiss Army Knight as well like he's going out there and blocking as well and him and that combination of Christian mcaffrey that run game is lethal so and you think about the great cowboy days uh his nickname was moose I'm blanking on his name I'm too young to remember but look I I can only imagine how vital he was into you know helping that great old lineman plus that great fullback and that brought back Super Bowls so we need a big step from him because this is a big step for the Cowboys to go back to the basics to be efficient in the most needed areas we we need to be one of the most dangerous teams when it comes to the Red Zone we need to cash in all those opportunities because it's just opens up the offense so much and one of the first steps is just going back and just you know re-evaluating one of the most lost positions in the league because they tried to start putting tight ends a couple of years ago but look let's go over hun L let's go over some of these stats first so as you can see we're on ESPN H to lii and his stats this last season so it's not going to jump off the page pretty you know what I'm saying because he's not getting that many carries which I would want to see that go up and you know it's a great change up especially with our running back comedi situation you know 17 games play six carries for 19 yards 3.2 one touchdown you know had a long of nine um he also had a fumble uh I think it was versus the Miami Dolphins you know that that was crucial look you know that this is why this position is so important he you know as far as him having direct impact you know carrying is very limited so when he does do it and we need to do it it's all about situation and Effectiveness um I wish we could get him more involved in in the in the passing game as well only three receptions four targets for 18 yards six you know average but look at this trend of the all the great running team teams in the league okay I was going over like how you know red zone is you know just important like to Effectiveness for a team look who's at the top of the league San Francisco that's a team that went to the Super Bowl last year that was an offense that was very dangerous last year 68% conversion percentage okay and in 2020 they improved from last year look where we at 12th middle of the pack this is around the middle of the pack we actually decre 50 50 almost 58% conversion percentage 71% in 2022 we lost almost 20 percentages man 20 20% 20% that's ridiculous that's ridiculous that's that's going to get you beat in the first round these are the the little forecasts that's that's foreshadowing the big storm that's coming in the end little things like that but hey this is why we're here but I'm going to go over you know the trend I'm seeing with this list I'm going to go back and forth so I'm going go over Personnel so obviously fullbacks usually come in in heavy personnel which is 20 Personnel 20 and above if you don't know Personnel some um you know the ver you know the Caps or the lingo when talking football the first number so you know they always it's always double digits the first number represents how many running backs you have out there and the second number represents how many tight ends you have out there so if it's 10 Personnel one running back zero tight ends 20 two backs and two tight or if it's 20 two backs no tight ends you know 22 etc etc what I'm getting for you I'm getting to that point is you know Personnel is important especially when running you know heavy Personnel out there especially here in the Red Zone which this is where you should be bringing it out how effective they were with it so look at this trend I'm I'm going to this is the red zone I'm going to keep flipping back and forth for you to see this is a Personnel graph you know for the tendency for the team so look this is as I click we we ran a lot of 11 personnel I do remember as zero we we did grow lot of qu quite a bit empty in like crucial parts of the game um yeah so let me go to this this is the this is the gain one I wanted to show the 20 and above so when I look at teams like let's look at the ners ners are number one in the Red Zone look where they at so team's obviously know team's going to be more than one cuz you know you're doing more than one uh personel they ran 22 personnel which is two tight end two running backs they're they're two you know 31 let's go towards the top they're 10th in the league with two running backs and one tight end this team right here look how effective it is look at the EPA this is like top of the league look at look at that this is a trend I noticed I I'm telling you Detroit you do you think Detroit was a good running team let's look at the trend Detroit two running back one tight end eighth in the league and I think they're on here again no they're not uh they're not to the top 32 their other Personnel so they really love that person they really love this this heavy Personnel let's go let's go back Miami Miami ran it on this too Miami where they at Miami was more of a passing team so they was trying to Spread spread you out and you know empty get you to empty the box and run it on you you got to understand like their philosophy uh Buffalo where Buffalo a running team let's see they run a lot of heavy personnels oh their 21 Personnel was here at 16th are here again they're right behind us you see where we at we're middle of the pack and they're middle of the pack but you got to understand oh here Buffalo's here again with the 21 this an abstract that mean it's some type of flare that they put on this uh Personnel I mean yeah it's their philosophy Run game is just not predicated on the the back they they have moved to that more in the later parts of the Season cuz they're trying to keep Josh Allen upright but it's just a trend just a trend here uh Washington where's Washington at number three 21 Personnel are they on here again I don't believe so Arizona I did not see Arizona on this list I think they run team uh a bunch of 12 and Etc Baltimore you think that's going to be facing this year Baltimore they run they're above us 21 and they effective with it la la Rams they ran the ball but if you think about it they system type and they got two good receivers Cooper cup and puka Thea Philly Philly is right behind us 20 21 personnel and Cincy but I'm we're going to we going to be done with that so so I am officially able to clip up my own Clips I got my access to the all 22 Pros clut so I'm going to go over what I saw so as I stated before when I went over the trend um a lot of times when we see honol luki be effective or even in the game um special teams for one of course and Red Zone and short down and distance uh you know scenario so let's go over to film we didn't upgrade it today I can yeah I can draw and everything so look this is eye formation we got 22 Personnel two running two backs two tight ends motion across the way you know trying to get movement from the linebackers except Etc this this game by the way this game is versus the Seahawks if you remember um so he's going to be leading way for uh Tony par so I believe this block is going to be something like this if that makes sense um let me see does it yeah in that direction uh more tighter you know my my drawing could be better but we're going to play it I'm going to play it so yeah [Music] okay so he stays tight um the guard here gets beat yeah it it's it's more of a breakdown type of play so I want him to somehow be an athlete I know I'm asking him a lot be an athlete and be aware of this because if I think if he can reach this guy here right here immediately get here he's got to see that not get hung up I know he's trying to take care of all the leakage but Ferguson has his man you know um Ferguson has his block right here he has his block he's he's he's he has his block I need you to come here get that man here so uh we if he can do that like I I feel like this par has a chance our running back has a chance cuz he's one-on-one with this guy and I'm saying oneon-one because the speed If he if he hits this hole hard enough he wouldn't even be like this guy here wouldn't even be a a a a threat because of the momentum will carry him to the end zone so I mean this is something we could approve of on um when I was clipping it up I didn't really see if we scored on this possession um I know this is the end of the game but this is a crucial possession here see he gets he get stood up no has no momentum and they're able to make the problem make the tackle but if we can get better awareness is the you know the close-up Court cut if he can get right like I'm telling you if he he if he can immediately see that this double team okay is working and they have him pretty much you know knocked off immediately get to 20 or if he can even hook 20 I but I'm not saying hook because the play is obviously going uh inside the way they're blocking and the way he's like scanning in and out he's trying to kick uh somebody out to get Pard you know as you know North and South as possible but if he can do that we have a chance we have a chance here espe and if the worst case scenario we even closer to the you know scoring maybe on the five on the three yard line so next play so this is a offset eye what is this yeah 20 Personnel offset High um I think this is just a normal uh down just I don't think it's a short down this is something I believe he's coming around on this play for the cuz they're running action here and he's coming around here to swipe on 55 on this play so in his proper technique he needs to aim for 55s inside shoulder with you know so he can keep 55 uh um keep him on keep him outside so he doesn't you know fade back into the play cuz this this this this run can easily turn back up inside so that's I believe that's his job if he can uh continue to do that um but but you can't you can't catch right here you got to be in attack mode and even if you can like get a initial good pop like that's huge right here on this play so let's see what he does so he just he just he whiffs right there he goes for a cut block on I notice I know you know I think Tyron you can say he he lost right here because 99 shouldn't be nowhere near it but uh I just I just I can't have you whiff and here's another game um this is a game we struggled in obviously versus the ners this is 22 Personnel we got the two running backs two tight ends obviously okay so let's see what we're going to um do here uh it's supposed to be in short yardage this is a good defense good especially a good run defense we're playing on so let's [Music] see it's a toss it's a toss play so we're trying everyone's in in a outside Zone okay everyone stepping here step step step step outside he and Hunter is leading off so this and then obviously we're tossing so everything's going to be stretched and we're trying to get just a good block if he can I I would want him inside out cuz I want this toss to eventually um cut back inside at some point in here but let's see he's got to get a good block for it like his blocks I will argue is one of the most important I mean uh take that back uh Tyron Smith reaching this guy is are very important as well um but yeah let's let's see here they motion over so obviously this is a pinning pool cuz we got I thought uh Tyron was um was going to be reaching here but no we got our we got a pinning pull here Tyron is going to be leading away which I love these type of plays cuz we're getting we're getting a big guy on a little guy so follow you need to be following the butt of Tyron cuz whatever he can't get you need to clean up and this should and everyone's coming so we need to hurry up and set up these block cuz look they're look they're hard these These are small Lineback I mean these are smart linebackers they're they're already going this way hard hard hard everyone's everyone's already you know scraping this way they're already pressing hard so let's let's see let's see what what what happened let's see the effects of this [Music] play so yeah we didn't get inside out on 90 uh 48 we didn't get out inside out on 48 man man look they are already they already they already there oh this is a different play right this is a different play yeah let's go back to let's go back to this play yeah see yeah if he can get inside out on that block I feel like I mean yeah I mean this play was kind of blew up cuz they they just they just yeah they're what's the word they're pursuiting hard the pursuit is great by his defense with this is why you got to you got to do the all the little things man here's another play another toss from our own Endzone oh this is actually it's not a toss it's more of an outside Zone stretch so it's more you know little downhill this man this guy right here is losing but here so I I'm already knowing what you're seeing Hunter you're seeing this guy can fold off right here so you trying to probably knock him back on and move up to this guy here cuz I think Tyler is automatically aiming for here so let's see how this play develops great block that's a great block that's a great block look at that look at that boom he's and now he's he his his had is play side so the stretch he good thing he didn't this guy didn't make a play so now we can bounce it and cut it right let me see you know I'm getting Fancy on yall let's do this we can since he since Pard this is would you need a good Premier back for has made this guy Miss right here now his route is we can bounce it and cut it right up in here because Hunter had his plays side and he can knock this guy inside this is great technique get you you get a good little pop and it's you spring open the run you spring it [Music] open so we can get like more of this on a daily basis you know even in this game I think this is late in the game where we were struggling but oh and he fumbled right there I remember this play man that was a good run but you know look you can only do your job you can only do your job here we go this is 21 Personnel we motion him back into a offset eye so let's see what we going get here this is when this is a rare player of him uh checking out into a route he's scanning you can see he's scanning yeah just the play design wasn't for him but look you can just see I just want I want the Cowboys to make an effort to get him more involved in the Run game here's a rare occurrence of him actually getting a hand off now this is like this is an example of what I'm talking about this is this is an example of what I'm talking about Cowboys this is this what really irks my mind and I thought we got rid of this when we got rid of Kell Moore why are we [Music] in 11 personnel shotgun with a fullback as the only back running a Zone Action running a Zone Action and not even that look at the depth of the shotgun we're not even deep as we like we I think we a couple of yards up so we're very close what are we trying to do with a FL fullback dep the shotgun so and like B is the look of it I like I understand if we can get this blocked up he should run clean downhill I understand but it's you know this is the NFL this it's not going to be like that as usual so why not Mike if you want to R if you want to run some type of 11 personnel why not bring Dak up put him behind the center under Center put Hunter as the long back and let him get some momentum and catch it in his belly and let's get let's let's get downhill like that why not do that or put some Zone Action behind that I don't like we we we we're we're we're now we're getting him moving laterally and we're putting it cross face and we're a shotgun why we have like and then look at look how this play develops look how this play develops man get my mouse back sorry look how this play develop it's blown up it's blown up cuz our fullback doesn't have any momentum I fullback and I think it was empty and they motioned him back in the back field oh it was pistol but it's blown up this is that was an example of the Cowboys getting too cute when we get in the red zone and you want to run the ball we can not we cannot afford to go cute matter of fact I better not see like I barely barely see like T empty I barely barely see that bro at in in this year I swear to God like if if we if we trying to actually physically win some games that's that typ those when you run those formations and where and there's not that much field left the defense is all like there's we're not adding no nuances to him we're not being like no misdirections it's it's an easy stop in my opinion that that's not a Mis Direction it's not a change up what is it here's Hunter [Music] again I don't like that right there I like right there look look at this him hesitating I don't like that right there we need to this is this is where we need to improve right here and I hope he's doing just like us right here at ladies and gentlemen he needs to be watching this film he cannot hesitate right here but it doesn't help when you got a running back Deuce you can't just you got to you got to practice some patience man you just shoot in there you just shoot in there head down you would have got a little bit further if you followed Hunter I think if you would have went where Hunter went I need the wide cut man I I need the wide I got to see what you saw the double team in here let me get this it's a double team here single block here and Hunter is coming here it's coming here so what do we see what do we see what do we see what do we see what do we see right here [Music] man yeah we should have we should have we should have stayed behind [Music] Hunter let me go back a little bit more yeah but I mean hunter I think you got to Fork this out though I think I think eight was your most dangerous man but I mean the play ended so fast you can really barely tell let's go to the next play here we go we're in Red Zone again in shotgun in like a pistol type man I hate this formation especially this close end but I think we're running a pass play out of this right cuz we we're going to play action no it's a run oh this is a this is one of those rare touchdowns but it's just I bet it's because the defense played it so badly though we're running a simple Zone [Music] Action yeah we got lucky we got lucky we got lucky we got lucky got lucky you know why let me tell you who flies out of there it's number five this F this this this safety he flies out of there completely he flies out of there completely and 27 is late I'm telling you cuz like he's taking this behind right here like this this the dgap he's taking it right here in this Lane and that's that's Brandon Cook's blocking right there like I I it's a wide receiver like I he's going to do it but like this is a Pat this is why the Patriots was so bad last year this is not going to work versus the ners as you can see you didn't and you knew not to pull that this [ __ ] ass formation out this is the stuff I'm talking about you know what I'm saying like this is not winning formation football like I know it got the job done here but we can't have like f you know this is false pretensions man but shout out to hun this is a touchdown here we go again so this is not I don't believe this is in Red Zone he's just here for Block so he's only here for blocking he's they're doing a roll out so if you don't no roll out I can go over that but y'all roll out people I mean uh the lineman they're trying to make this shape they're trying to make a shepherd's hook for the roll out so cuz he's rolling out this way and we're making a hook right here that's the the blocking so they're going to he's going to take a step and then hook back for anybody who's trying to come you know if anybody comes back side like that that makes sense and it does 92 is he he's he's looping out so this is this guy but he's just scanning but cuz with the play happens so fast so I guess it was it was a we're passing out here's the offset eye 21 formation 21 21 21 Personnel offset eye formation I don't like this right here man this he does a lot of catching I don't need him to do a lot of catching when he's blocking I need him to come with more Authority hey I think this was his first year but this is this is this is where the steps need to come in this is the learning curve that need to come in boom I I need to just a little bit more conviction Hunter a little bit more you tiptoeing through the hole too I understand but look there's the hole eight is your man there you go you go you get inside out on them but you know you kind of you're barely almost whiff this just I need you to you know what I'm saying a little bit stay a little bit don't go too low to the ground but you spring this run that was a good block that's a very good block you had a pretty pretty good game versus the Patriots I'm glad I got this film yeah he's checking through the formation here and getting out on a flat route he's open but you know we were uh this was even more open this is a better game here he is offset eye 21 [Music] Personnel yeah man see look this game look I uh it's like he closes his eyes you can't do that h we got we're going to need a bigger step You Close Your Eyes cuz you whiff right here and the dude uses his hands and just smacks around you does he make the play he makes the play you know what I'm saying like we can't have that you got to be better got to and if you block right there if you if you can just keep your eyes open and and and and run through it right here get inside out on this block look at that bro look at this right here look at this hole just look at this hole this hole right here well he he's still here but it's three linemen these three are working here so I am expecting somebody to come off on this guy look at this hole here look at this hole here and he's he has momentum this guy is flying out and he has momentum that that way if that if that should tell you everything that could happen right there you know what I'm saying that could have been like a 15 yard game right there all of if if who did what hona lopi so man that's my cut up shout out honol luki man um you know the fullback position I think needs to do the same thing the tight end position did with you know KD getting all those guys together they form you know they do you know they just over the summer I think they do seminars and stuff like that and just go over and and just improve and now the tight end position is just as riched as it is um if you look across League the fullback position is not as rich as other position is it's a very rare commodity matter of fact you know you're lucky to the fullback the pure like fullback in general like in formations 21 someone's going to still be there in his space but they usually put tight ends but you know you got to appreciate when it's a true fullback so I I need him to take the time with Kyle yuse cheek over to the ners and how what he does his blocking scheme how he looks at the game you know train with him uh uh guys in history that I'm blanking on and I feel like if he can improve we can very much very much improve our red zone conversion rate our short yardage conversion rate whether it be fourth down Etc and we won't I want we will see less times of us not being able to you know respond when we get punched in the mouth because he he's going to be able to come and lay the Thunder and every going to like oh you know hey Hunter came to play we need to play too so and that's the type of like energy I want Contagious on this team when it's cuz it's going to get when it gets you know nitty-gritty that's some of the stuff you can lean on and you know ride that on to you know to a successful season so yeah this is the first video of the series we're going to go through a couple of guys on the cowboys that I believe they should be taking a big step this year shout out huntter ly until next time everyone peace
