Teams want taller, long armed, offensive linemen these days so they can use use those long arms to control defensive linemen. So shouldn't the same be said for defensive linemen. Longer arms so the can control the offensive linemen and come off of blocks quicker.

Remember Jason Hatcher and his long arms. Remember the seed smoking #97 and his long arms. If hill works out then great. But I'm tired of these short armed defensive tackles that have to jump around the offensive linemen, because that creates holes that could be exploited.

I like the fact that Marinelli said he only saw two others besides Hill in this draft class. The rest of the interview Rod sounded like a guy who had been hit in the head a hundred too many times. Lol.

I don't believe the great Tom Landry would have liked nor approved of Marinelli's smaller/short-armed "under Tackles". Landry's DTs were tall, big, strong and quick. They used their size, strength, quickness and speed to dominate the line of scrimmage. I don't see Marinelli's shorter/smaller DTs doing that.

Basically we are once again putting our faith in Marinelli to get the best out of a prospect ,if Hill doesnt do well then its curtains for Rod and even Richard for endorsing him to the FO.

Bingo. This is my fear. This is a Marinelli pick. If we have to blow this coaching staff up next year, I'm not certain that Hill is anyone else's guy.

I think this is the season for the Dallas defense to dominate, and we will finally get to see if the old man in right or wrong.

Trysten Hill is 6’3”, 308lbs, 33 & 3/8ths arms and big ole’ hands. Whoever’s saying that his body type is “more of the same” from Marinelli isn’t paying attention. He’s not a squatty 3DT that Rod has been famous for liking.

That's still short and squatty compared to the DTs Landry used to have.

Correction, he should have been fired after the Green Bay loss and that terrible fail by the defense to stop a QB who was playing on 1 leg.
I’d like to agree on this one, but the refs protected the golden boy in that game. It’s hard to fault a DC when the refs are allowing the other teams OL to drag defenders down and blatantly hold on nearly every passing play.
