yes the first one wasn't catchable but had Gallup made more effort and purposely ran into the safety trying to get to it, that can get a DPI for sure..he will be taught that in film study.. the other yes he stopped his route for no apparent reason but maybe thought the ball was gone already.. he pulled a Crayton lol

Did I miss something, did JG get fired already?

Just watched some all-22 and saw up close two weird plays by Gallup, which were noticed during the game but made even more obvious watching them again.

One was a bomb to the right. Not particularly well thrown, but Gallup made no effort at all to adjust and get near the ball. If the safety coming over had bothered to look up, he'd have an easy pick because Gallup wouldn't have been there to contest.

The other was a slant where he just pulled up, and Dak's sidearm throw was almost picked.

What did y'all think was going on for those plays?

We saw a ton of these plays by him last year, and also a few examples in the Green Bay game earlier this season

Gallup needs to stop jumping for the ball. It's very Terrance Williams like.

While I agree, I think it comes as a direct result of waiting for the ball.

Cheerleaders happened.. He got distracted....

Good obs I noticed them too. He looked like he wasn’t going full speed.

He is still learning.

Was the sun behind him om the deep one? Whoever planned that stadium to have sunlight in those sides should be shot!

They have drapes or something, but for some reason they like to leave them open.

I think people see some of the amazing catches he makes so they're surprised when he's not on top of every play, but like you said, he's still learning.

He will be a good one. Not sure we will be able to give him a contract if we keep Cooper..

Still a ways away from having to worry about that, aren't we?

He has 2 more years. Unless he was a first round pick. Scratch that he was a 3rd rounder. 2 more years...

‘film study’

did you forget Garrett is our HC?

shakes head

“film study” LOL

I guarantee his WR coach and his teammates when they are reviewing film will point this out emphatically.. nothing to do with Garett..its what happens in weekly meetings

Poor throw, but he's gotta play hard to get to that ball. As mentioned above, could potentially draw a PI if the safety doesn't turn. That attention to max effort on the little things is what championship teams do.

I am reminded of a year the immortal goat, Tom Brady, threw an interception in SD which would have ended their playoff run. But the receiver on the play hustled during the return, forced a fumble which was recovered, and they were able to complete the comeback. We need players with that never die attitude. Gallup seems like someone who could have that attitude, but we need to instill it in every player as part of the culture.

It allllll comes back to Garrett dont it.... ; )

He saw Ghosts on both plays. Ive seen him be more aware of contact this yr. Not willing to make the big catch the way Amari and Cobb will.

we have 25 other coaches more responsible for positional issues..i guarantee he was watching it on an ipad not 10mins after it happened on the sideline but for sure from the WR coach in the meeting room, teammates let you know about that..i bet he goes full out all day Sunday..

Interesting...
I wonder if that's the player he's always been.

My 11-yr old yelled "what are you doing Gallup!" at the TV on that deep ball.

If she has red hair maybe she can replace garrett

Maybe the sun from the staydium affected him.

Gallup and the rest of the receivers have been screwing up all season long, hence they lead the league in drops which is over 25 times at this time.
