Bengals waive DL Takkarist McKinley following failed physical

[ShortRound]

Seems like we dodged a bullet here

 

[reddyuta]

I was right about him in the draft ,dude doesnt have any bend in his game at all.

In before the Takko Charlton jokes.

 

[J12B]

Good thing we took Taco and didn't trade up to this guy.

The 2017 1st round was full of bust pass rushers.

People love to roast the Cowboys for taking Taco Charlton over T.J. Watt; but remember McKinley (Falcons) and Charles Harris (Dolphins) were picked ahead of Watt as well.

Fact is Watt’s tweener size scared some teams off. There have been multiple guys who weren’t able to carve out a role with a similar physical profile. That being said I hope they learned their lesson about size vs talent.

I don't trust guys who's go to photo move is a chin grab

With DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory, Aldon Smith, Dorance Armstrong, and Bradlee Anae I like where Dallas is at DE anyway.

Now we need some difference making DT's; though Neville Gallimore is starting to come on.

FWIW, Bob Sturm said the Cowboys were never comfortable with the medical reports on Watt's knee. That might be retroactive butt-covering but apparently it was a factor.

Jon Machota posted his 2021 roster prediction today with Gallimore and Hill as the starting DTs. I think those two with Hill and a draft pick at 1T are the rotation next year.

Welp I’ll apologize. I thought was mistake not kicking tires at least on him.

NO! This is just the kind of player Jerry likes! Sign him up!!

Jay Tufele out of USC in the second round would be my guy. Big, quick twitch three tech who can push the pocket and get to the QB. Would be a great addition to Gallimore, Hill, and Woods at the 1T. Also have us drafting Jordan Davis, the big NT out of Georgia, in the 4th round. The combo of Tufele, Gallimore, Hill, Davis, and Woods would be a nice mix at DT and would finally solidify the spot imo.

One of those Hills must be a Woods.

Thanks, I haven't really looked at individual players but I would definitely lean toward a good NT in a spot like the 4th. IMO Gallimore and Hill are both penetrating 3Ts and Woods is a decent 1T, so a developmental NT would great.

But in the TDFT Scenario (trade down from 3), I love going CB and Safety with the first two picks and still getting that DT in the top of the 2nd.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Demand to be traded or cut, and then fail a physical with another team.

not just that, but he had big surgeries on both knees. Had we taken him and he was hurt it would’ve been “Jerry always trying to outsmart the league and get his discount injury specials”

Neither of those guys should keep us from drafting a pass rushing DT high.

I like what Gallimore has shown recently. But that wreaks of worst DTs in the NFL for about the 10th straight season

But Hill and Gallimore next year will be improved over what they showed this year, especially Gallimore. Dallas had a second round grade on both and they will have more development, more experience and a lot more time in the defensive scheme.

Look at the dramatic jump Hill made from last year to this year and then add that to both players again. And there is no question both guys have the physical skills to be above average starters.
