The lack of lateral agility makes him an active1. Ironically, I think he would have been a good Marinelli 1T. Some straight ahead burst, hustle, and good speed for a DT. That's what he brought.
Diggy is a quality rotational type. Otherwise, I agree.
Problem is, not enough "sand in his pants".
While I wouldn't have given up on Ridgeway so soon, Ridgeways physicall skillset points sharply at him being a backup type. Basically, he's too tall and too slow of foot. Sluggish, that's the words the scouting reports use.
Watkins has the skill to be really good, he's just never been able to put it all together. I have no idea what the problem is, motivation or lack of brains or whatever, but he at least is a quality backup at the minimum.
Make DT a priority in the draft. With the first pick. I will say the name again.
If this craptastic Jerry-led org didn't see the difference Hankins made, then we're simply doomed. Too bad it took 28 years.
The team has to first find better players...
Ridgeway didn't look sluggish at all playing for the Commanders this season, K. He actually was very nimble, aggressive and attacked and made plays. Check it out. Ridgeway played awesome for the Commanders! It's so upsetting because we definitely could have used him. Instead, these foolish coaches and front office cut and gave him away for free!!!
Gallimore is an oversized 3T that struggles against the run, he needs to earn his roster spot in camp as Goldston might be ahead of him. Bohanna is safe as a rotational NT, but if they keep Hankins, he may have to fight for his spot as well. Neither are guaranteed to be on the team when they break camp.
Ya i actually thought Bo played well earlier in the season. I was actually shocked he wasn't active vs the 49ers.
Bohanna was inactive the last two games.
Gallimore is just a weird player. Big (i think he was playing at about 20 lbs more than he is listed), excellent linier explosion and power, no anchor, very short arms with limited tackle radius
They tried to trade Gallimore at deadline, so I doubt he is back
I cannot recall being as disappointed in a player as much as I am with Gallimore this season. I really thought he would make the leap this year in his 3rd year as a pro. I never thought Bohanna would be great in year two. But there is no point in moving on from them now. If Gallimore does not show a big improvement by the end of training camp I would definitely be willing to move on from him. I have said it a million times, Hill and Ridgeway were both better than Gallimore. Not protecting Ridgeway was a mistake for Dallas. But Gallimore is now in the same boat as Hill. He will be a free agent after next year and at this point why re-sign him?
