Twitter: Zack Martin calls Gallimore "dense human"

Affectionately known as a “dense human”

 

[kskboys]

its why fans need to calm down saying we don't draft good DTs!

fiorst off there's not arent a lot of elite DTs in each draft and when picking not many available..SO if fans are patient, they see we have drafted some that are developing into those DTs weve been missing

Ie OSA and Gallimore next to each other are nice middle.

add in tanks solid de, Greagory's on the way up, add soem depth with BO, Hill and Gholston this DL was weakness now becoming a strength.
fans in zone just keep calling out drafts and Fas acquisitions before allowing time for them to come together.

Well, it's why you do a bit of research and realize before Galley, we didn't draft good DT's!!!!!

At first I though Martin was insulting his intelligence…lol

MEANWHILE.... A @Ranching Sighting

How does it feel fellow Zoners, entering post season with a legit Defensive Line?
Havent done that since the JJ era.
This entire defense is coming together at the perfect time of year.

 

[fivetwos]

His college film was outstanding.

Should have had a late first round grade.

Showed flashes last year despite being deactivated and hurt.

Everyone was confused in last year's defense but he still looked OK at times.

So...can't say I'm surprised.

Watkins looks to be playing well also.

We may an another future Pro Bowler.......his power is off the chart

Being Canadian I am pulling for this kid to do well.

Amazing how a little patience and solid training can transform a player.
Bet Gallimore would be a first round talent now if coming out.
Its like we blinked and went from having horrible DL to elite DL.... snap

The general consensus on him in college was that he dominated vs 1-on-1 blocking but got blown out by double-teams.
- He tended to be all-or-nothing in college.
- i.e. Big positive plays and big negative plays.

That continued into the NFL. He made the great plays that are shown in the highlight videos but also got blown out on many run plays.

This year he has minimized the plays where he gets blown out vs the run.
- He is obviously bigger/stronger this year.
- Quinn's scheme also helps. Last year Nolan played too much 2-gap.
- Quinn did use more 2-gap early this season but moved away from it.
- He will play some 2-gap with players like Hamilton but Gallimore plays 1-gap.
- Quinn will mix it up and play DEs in 2-gap with DTs 1-gapping.

Personally I liked his sideline to sideline speed.

Can close in on the passer quickly and the added size doesn't appear to have hurt that. Looks more stout vs the run than I may have thought.

He is far from Aaron Donald but can definitely be part of a solid rotation if kept fresh. Looks like that's what's going on.

What I find interesting is that Gallimore has maintained his same weight since being drafted, still listed at 302lbs.
Usually, all players add a few pounds either through weight training or natural maturation.
Dont really care, just thought it was interesting when checking back in on his bios.
Thanks x for always providing the quality reads.

dont care stay in this window since 2016 its getting better

Quinn is like a kid in a candy store, after hours, and no security alarm.

 

[MRV52]

Gallimore was always going to come back and excel. Most of you couldn't see how successful and what he means to this team to be in the lineup. I am not surprised how he has played, I knew he was going to kick butt on his return.

He can move for a DT hit 4.7 40 at the combine.

 

[Mr_437]

Look...I don't recall anyone saying Neville is gonna come back 320+ and be able to play NT...and be a game wrecker. I don't think you can predict what #96 has become...similar to Diggs. That draft is turning out to be really good. Gallimore is one of the most important players on the team moving forward.

 

[VaqueroTD]

it feels like most of the teams we played this year lucked out and found someone like this. We saw Connor Williams and Biadasz get abused at often the wrong time late in the game. I hope Gallimore is our stud in the middle. Have high hopes for the young man.

 

[Chuck 54]

Quite a few stud DTs don’t even come into the league with lots of fanfare and simply become beasts in years 3-4.

At first, I thought Martin was insulting someone.

The team is self destructing LOL
