And a 1st rounder
It was 2018 all over again except thankfully we had Lamb instead of Allen Hurns. But it's once again insulting for them to think Dennis Houston was a #2 week 1. James Washington, Tolbert....insulting.
Players coming off ACL tears often have trouble coming back. Whether it's mental or physical does not matter. Dallas knew Gallup wasn't going to be ready to start the season and should have had reasonable expectations that he might not be the same when he did.
I also think him returning to the third receiver position will benefit both him and the team. I think Gallup is an adequate No. 2 receiver, but a standout third receiver. When teams are focused on stopping the No. 1 and No. 2, he can eat.I hope for his and everyone’s sake that this is 100% true.
Agreed.
OK, stop me if you heard this one ... a guy who couldn't walk, a jag and a 3rd-round rookie walk into a bar, and Jerry Jones tells the bartender, "That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, give me another round of Johnny Walker Blue."
I think it will because I see no reason to think his performance wasn't tied to his recovery. Of course, some players are never the same after a major injury.
Pollard injury is much different. Though, a little concerning I've seen no news. Steel is the one to be concerned with, IMO.
I certainly hope so.
Indications were Steele's recovery has been going well. And I'm less concerned about a lineman recovering from a leg injury than a running back. Backs have to be able to plant and cut. They need a full range of movement skills. A break means that we don't have to worry about Pollard's joints, but trusting the leg to take the torque and twisting needed is a different issue.
It is, but it was serious nonetheless. And we're expecting him to carry the brunt of the rushing load?
The same FO that stood pat with Gallup coming off surgery is doing the exact thing with Pollard
Different injuries.
It’s a concern, especially when we don’t have someone backing him up we’re sure about. He was our top playmaker on offense last season. If we can’t break some big runs and move the chains on some short runs, it’s going to lead to some big issues.
And if we were to compare the situations between Gallup and Steele, how close do you believe we are to Steele being at 100%? 2024/25?
Pollard just had a fracture that didn’t even require surgery. Literally, the surgeon said it’ll be fine just healing. That is light years away from an ACL surgery.
