Could rookie DT Gallimore replace vet Antwuan Woods?

[jterrell]

It is an interesting option.
Not sure exactly how this DL will be schemed yet so it is possible in theory.
Especially with the massive Poe in there as starter.
I do feel a bit for AWoods here but I'm not sure he makes out on open market with a starting gig and good salary either.

Who cares what he's happy about? Let him be pissed enough to fight for snaps and do his best to get on the field.

He's a journeyman level player and an exclusive rights free agent. He can sign with the Cowboys or not play football. Those are his two 'options'.

He cares so he wants out. Good plan keep him on the team and pay him to do nothing.

Not a good plan at all, imo.

if he doesn't to be here, we need to find him an outta here, and save his roster spot for someone that really does wants to be here to
contribute to winning football.

Why should we baby someone disgruntled like that to pay a backup role guy for " nothing' and take a risk of him
eventually going to the media, locker room cancer or taking to social media with his malcontent grudges ?

Gallimore and Woods don't play the same position, so no.

True,
Both Trysten Hill and Gallimore were envisioned to projected 3 tech types, but if we're keeping just four DTs - per McCarthy's quote.
..and assuming Hill makes the squad to be that 4th DT, who else on the roster is here to play that backup 1 tech ?

Better plan, give every scrub on the team whatever they want.

If that's the case then they probably aren't going with a backup 1T b/c run stuffing DTs are mostly irrelevant in the modern NFL and limit the ability to have multiple, attacking fronts. Penetrating players matter. Pluggers don't.

Everyone has wanted to bag on Marinelli, but he's not that unique in terms of what he's looked for in DTs.

If Pluggers don't matter, then why did the new coaching regime go after Dontario Poe as a new starter?

Pluggers don't matter/factor much on long yardage obvious passing 3rd downs and vs 2 minute offenses. Also the more they
have to be on the field, they can wear down over a long period of the game.
But Pluggers matter when in accordance to the specific role they play vs run and how they are schemed.

- It is very important to have the interior pass rushers, as they factor on an every down basis. and they are a lot harder to find than
the pluggers, imo.
But if you get a dominant run stuffer and assuming he has efficient surrounding cast, that plugger can make a difference in how he
can factor and change how you want to run the ball.

- Certain teams that have the big pluggers want to established a bigger, more physical front with these pluggers to
have the best chance to take away the run game from opposing teams and force teams into longer 3rd down yards and
to more one dimensional.

- The Ravens tend to always explore the plugger types all the time. Siragusa, Ngata, Tim Jerigan.,Michael Pierce, Brandon Williams,
Daylon Mack, etc.

- Snack Harris (in his prime) teams had such a difficult time running at him, even with the likes of Zack Martin and Travis Fredrick
who Snack was tossing both aside. It's a limited area, but for what they impose physically during that limited time in their role, they do
matter and make a difference.

And do we really want to go down the ole familiar Marinelli yellow brick road of discussions again ?

I'm closely watching the Antwuann Woods act, as i'm steadily hearing from pod and radio voices how Human Log is very unhappy with is new reserve backup role and has yet to sign his restricted tender.

i've recently heard it again per Patrik Walker and his interview on Late Night Hype show,..


" where do 2020 Cowboys rookies fit in "

Woods was "expected" to re-sign as a restricted FA.. but hasn't at this point.
i've been hearing several reports how he is disgruntled he has been, he hasn't been responding to texts and social media contacts as he has done so in the past, and all is leading to speculate if he wants to be here, and could he end up asking for a trade . or his release.

And that could explain one reason why i've been hearing how rookie Neville Gallimore could be asked to play 1 tech ...rather than 3 tech, as most viewed and projected him to,... while Trysten Hill could command the 3 tech role behind McCoy.

Stay Tuned....

In the words of Bill Parcells. He's fat!

Back in the day, there was this process known as "competition".

An extensive description of this phenomenon can be located in the archives of NFL history for those willing to dedicate the hours of research.

Generally speaking, here's how it went:

Coaches would evaluate the ability of several player's performance at a particular position. They would observe them in practice and in games. In addition, they would look at speed, strength, stamina and various intangibles. Mostly they would look at the results of the players and compare them.

Then, all the coaches would meet and discuss who they thought was the best performer at that position. Eventually a decision would be made to determine the starter, his backup and, perhaps even a third player. They didn't care about his salary, his cap hit, or anything that didn't have to do with playing the game. The decision was based totally on merit.....yeah....seriously.

Now, If Woods never had the opportunity to compete against a guy under the same circumstances like practice or games, then I can see his point. Absolutely. How do you lose your position to a guy that hasn't played a single down for your team?

This is why, under the present circumstances, perhaps the coaches shouldn't name starters until after the second game. We know there are going to be more frequent substitutions at the beginning of the season. Coaches will pick the right times for them because they still have questions that need answers. Those two games, combined with their weekly practices should be sufficient time to make a fair decision.

once a player feels he's been disrespected, can the end be far behind?

Problem is, they’re too easily “disrespected”!
