Video: Charles "Hercules" Tapper OU Highlights

[Trouty]

Would be thrilled if he developed into a 600 snaps/8 sacks a season kind of DE.

That would be a hell of a hit in the fourth round, Michael, and I think a realistic ceiling.

 

[Trouty]

Yep. I still have hope for Gregory. He could be a good Cowboy.

I have hope for him, too, Haley. He has the highest ceiling of any lineman on the team (although, Irving's a wildcard and shoutout to Collins!), it's foolish not to pull for the guy. Albeit, while also wise to not count on his production. We shall see

 

[big dog cowboy]

Gregory can't play until the playoffs if the Cowboys make it.

I see what you did there.

i dont know.
we have plenty of LDE types.
he does not look like a RDE bending around a LT to me.

If only....

I'd be way more confident in the DLine if Gregory actually played. Dallas could focus on DBs and maybe a couple luxuries on offense.

Gregory has a higher ceiling on either side of the line than anyone we have, imo. He does, in fact, have bend, as well as ferocious speed and quick hands. He's also a legit (edge; B and C gap) run-stopper.

I completely disagree with you, Putty.

OU fan here. He was excellent there. Big time motor.

where did you see any bend?

 

[HookEmCowboys]

Nice film.

Really dig his hustle, it's not often you see DEs making tackles on the far side of the field when the play goes away from them.

It's this type of relentless pursuit that will endear him to Marinelli and earn him a lot of PT.

where did you see any bend?

In his last stint up (last year, before the current suspension). He was running around the tackle and taking it home to the QB.

Absolutely, and those are the types of players we should have on the field IMO. Marinelli has made his money using underrated, scrappy players and Tapper looks to fit that mold perfectly. Really excited about his potential this season, and (fingers crossed) what Jaylen Smith could bring if he's ready to go.

oh u r talking gregory.
i was talking tapper.
i wrote off gregory with the last suspension.

Yup

I prefaced everything I said about him with a caveat, tho

 

[StarBoyz83]

I see what you did there.

Lol I expect them to make it. At the same time there is a ton of ifs and questions that are concerning. Tough schedule also. But I still have Dallas as a top 10 team.

 

[waldoputty]

Yup

i just assumed tapper.
gregory has plenty of bend
too bad his head is bad...

I agree! Going back to nebraska gregory is an athletic freak, he bends as good as any tall guy ive seen, speed, talent and agility arent his problem, its putting on strength and passing the pee test he needs to work on, but if the rules lax as they should we woukd have a dominant freak to blow up the game from the right side.

 

[JBS]

A bunch of what ifs on this DLine...some of them will produce and some of them won't...this team needs one elite edge rusher..one

And Irving's development, assuming he is training and wants to "become elite" (as he has said) during this offseason. Beast Irving, G!

The beast is there, he just needs to put in the work. I really love Irving. He's a freak.

Me too, man. That guy has all the makings to be a superstar in this league. If he sticks to it and allows the coaches to do their job, that's a 15-20 sack a year type of player, IMO. Potential all pro.

Before people get their panties in a bunch keep in mind I said "potential" and "IMO "
