Twitter: Zack Martin calls Gallimore "dense human"

fivetwos · Dec 24, 2021

Side note....

Last year was painful but it got us Parsons and Quinn.

Pure happenstance but I'll graciously accept the break.

I got one problem with him. If I was to meet him, I think I would have a hard time calling him "Neville". Neville is a Harry Potter character and looks nothing like Gallimore. I might go with Sir Gallimore.

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.

The roster listed weights are never accurate.

Players often comment on their weight when prompted by the media.
- This is especially true with local sports talk radio.
- Over the years the listed weights rarely ever match up with the weights players give out in those interviews.

Sometimes coaches also comment on player's weight when prompted by the media.
- This most often happens during training camp when coaches get media question every day.

It is one of many areas where the NFL is not 'fan friendly' with regards to hardcore type fans.
- The NFL website is very slow.
- They don't require accurate roster listings from teams.
- They've made the Coaches Film ($120/year) almost unusable now.
- They could improve replay and officiating but they don't put any effort into it.

In my opinion, the NFL should require accurate weight listings with a weekly official weigh-in.
- They require official injury status listing by teams. Why not include official weight listings.
- If the NFL really want to be fan-friendly to hardcore fans, they would list official weight room numbers for player also.
- The weight room numbers would only need to be listed once per year.
- Basically have a once per year veteran combine to get updated player measurables.

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

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.

no, this is why homers (like yourself) need to calm down who’ve been telling us for years and years that we don’t need big DTs

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.

Love it !

But he looks just a little bit scary like Aaron Neville.

I’m a huge fan of Gallimore, but I do find it slightly hilarious that Zack is trying his hand at player evaluation yet again. Didn’t he himself have high praises for Maliek Collins?

That is one of the more impressive plays I’ve seen this year.

Gallimore just bulldozes the center and puts him in the QBs lap.

Absolute carnage after the play.

I agree. I'm surprised the play hasn't been talked about more on here. I think it is THE most impressive play this season. Brutal destruction.

At first I though Martin was insulting his intelligence…lol

got to remember that Zach is from Notre Dame and is more erudite then the average NFL player.

JoeKing · Dec 24, 2021

That's not meant as an insult. Zack is just saying Neville is a load of humanity.

Same here, I thought he was saying Gallimore is stupid.

Exactly what Vea did to Biadasz all game long.

NO, it shows they do try and eventually will hit on some. so go stick your opinion where the sun dont shine.

they drafted many just didn't work out like all teams its just one of those things that happens. draft droughts at certain positions and they for sure have been drafting well at many positions.

had enough of this zoner for sure.,. Negative dribble isnt healthy BYE welcome to my ignore list.

If you look at the Media Guide, Gallimore is listed @ 310lbs. He’s EASILY that - Hamilton is listed @ 315lbs. and he looks it. I’m thinking Gallimore is 315 too since muscle weighs more than fat.

DanA · Dec 24, 2021

He was one of those guys that set gym records in college. I think he had something like 800lbs squat. A guy who already has that sort of gym room work ethic, and good genetics in the NFL system is gonna be a beast.

Nah he’s a lot bigger than 302 lol here’s a thread on it. Part of the camp chatter about him was the weight he put on and how he looked bigger than Bohanna.

#2 on Athletic freaks list.

The Canadian import who grew up playing soccer, basketball and volleyball moves up one spot from last year,” Feldman wrote. “He’s down to 305 pounds from 330, but he bench presses 500 pounds and squats 800. He cleans 405. The most impressive number of all is that he clocked a 4.76 in the 40. The fastest 300-pounder at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine—303-pound Quinnen Williams—ran a 4.83, which is remarkable.
