Gallimore flashes enormous upside

It had been a tough rookie year for Neville Gallimore, who struggled to transition his skill set against elevated opposition in a completely new scheme. He struggled to hold his ground at the point of attack, couldn’t get off of blocks, was often displaced from his gap and was largely ineffective as a pass rusher.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Dallas' run defense magically improved -- it allowed 2.6 yards per carry Sunday after giving up 5.1 entering the game -- when the defensive tackles finally put together a good performance. Gallimore’s ability to not only penetrate and disrupt but also maintain his gap integrity and get off of blocks made life much easier on the linebackers. This helped the structure of Dallas' run defense remain solid throughout the game.

Gallimore did a much better job of maintaining a low pad level, and the leverage created by that enabled him to maximize his power and play strength. This translated both against the pass and run.

On his three tackles, Gallimore did an excellent job of attacking edges with quickness and power to penetrate through his gap. What made those plays so impressive is they all came against Steelers right guard David DeCastro, a five-time Pro-Bowler and three-time All-Pro.

Even more impressive than those plays was Gallimore’s pressure against eight-time Pro-Bowler and five-time All-Pro Maurkice Pouncey after the two-minute warning in the second quarter

Gallimore on this play is aligned with a tight shade opposite DeCastro, but when the ball is snapped, he spiked inside to pick the center as part of his twist stunt with Justin Hamilton (No. 79). It wasn’t like Pouncey was caught by surprise, Gallimore just did an excellent job of using violent hands along with great leverage, hand placement, timing and arm extension to put Pouncey on his back before laying a massive hit on Roethlisberger.

Although he wasn’t able to sustain his pass-rush success throughout the game, it was great to see Gallimore flash some ability to make an impact as an interior rusher, something Dallas has sorely lacked this season.

Gallimore’s upside has always been enormous, but Sunday was the first time he flashed it in a Cowboys uniform.

Uh...Randy Gregory turns 28 in two weeks (Nov. 23rd 1992)
--not exactly a "young buck"

There aren't many gridiron miles on him, thus the "young buck"

28 isn’t old...especially with his lack of experience.

Gallimore and Hill should be a very good combo in the middle in 2021. Add another stud DT in the offseason, add Woods to the rotation, and that’ll be a position of strength. Then concentrate on the back 7.

I love the scenario of trading back from the top five and still picking a shutdown CB and getting the extra high #2. Use the #2s on a Safety and DT and your DT rotation is Hill, Gallimore, the #2 pick and Woods. Sign a new FA safety if you don't think Donovan Wilson is the guy and you have completely rebuilt the defense.

- not much wear or tear toll on that young buck either ...

who's to say Hill and Gallimore cannot be your two studs in the middle, so that you wont to be wish-listing another stud DT in the offseason ?

The way some talk, it’ll take four years.

Need a 4th guy in that rotation, how about a stud?

 

[waving monkey]

I have been puzzled by Gallimore's absence in plays and now he shows up.
I put it too rookie season.
Out first four picks and I think the 5th pick are solid.

I'm 49 years old and have never played a single NFL down, does that qualify me as a 'young buck'?

A 28-year-old with low mileage so yes he is still a "young buck".

You weren't an NFL quality young buck when you were a young buck. lol

I love how the fact that Randy has played very little football at 28 years of age is somehow viewed as a positive around here.

It is, because the wear and tear on his body is minimal. If he looked like he didn't know what he was doing, or lost a step it'd be one thing, but he looks good.

 

[Bullflop]

As Hubert Humphrey used to say, "I'm as pleased as punch" to see our youngsters like Gallimore and Hill getting an opportunity to display their wares. Gallimore was touted as a steal when he was drafted. It's to his advantage that he's making the most of his limited reps. Evidently, there are some good things to look forward to, in terms of our future possibilities. That's really a great thought in a season that hasn't offered us too many of them!

They has to be a bit of wear and tear on Randy's lungs.
