Signed by Cowboys Cowboys trade for DT Johnathan Hankins

[Carson]

We finally get a true 1T people have been asking for and people still aren’t happy.

They really thought we’d get a guy like Payne lol

 

[AsthmaField]

When he’s not exhausted from too many snaps, the guy is very hard to move in the run game.

 

[CowboyFrog]

I think this is equivalent to the Peters signing. I think he will be good in limited snaps but they can’t ask him to go and fix our Rush defense issue.

Im ok with it, first the comp is light so not really giving anything away, second DQ had to sign off on this so he has a plan for him. The run defense is having problem on the outside also so no this does not fix everything BUT if DQ can get all the juice out of this guy it will change how our LB's can play on 1st and 2nd down...in my opinion of course.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Well, for now, how do all the fans having a meltdown about never trading for players and giving up too much feel?

That to be determined on how he plays.

This is a good trade, even if he doesn't work out as we want, we basically did not give up anything.

Include me in that. Color me shocked!

I would assume that how electrifying this Defense is playing...it will add a spark to even an old vet on his last legs. Basically hes not giving his all for nothing...this dfense and the Cowboys are worth giving it your all for this year. Hankins wont be on a team drowning in negative morale...things are on the up and up here.

Lets hope at least.

Good situation for him. With all that offenses have to worry about with this line, he could find himself with some favorable matchups. But we just mainly need him to bow the middle against the run.

 

[Risen Star]

I think it's just sinking in for him that he gets to play with Damone Clark.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Is this Snacks?

 

[Captain43Crash]

Was he starting for the Raiders? I not how many snaps was he getting? What are his stats for this year?

 

[speedkilz88]

Great move for a 6th and 2024 7th I believe

Cowboys get the 7th.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Looks like Zeke if Zeke has a few more biscuits.

 

[Carson]

 

[speedkilz88]

Yeah I think they know he’s a rental. Hopefully a good one.

Why would he be a rental? He's cheap so if they like him he could be re-signed.

 

[jujoboys]

Gallimore was inactive this past game. Hill didn't record any tackles against Detroit. Bohanna has been hit and miss. We brought Watkins up from the practice squad because we wanted more run-stoppers against the Lions, and we still didn't exactly stop the run. Hankins likely easily becomes out best run-stopping DT. Would be nice if he could also get back some of that pass rush he showed earlier in his career.

Gallimore has been a huge disappointment this year. I was expecting him to have a breakout year and solidify the middle of our defense along with Odighizuwa. Hopefully Hankins is the answer on run downs.

 

[john van brocklin]

I get that from my wife.

Yikes!

I don't know. How are the fans who pretended up to a few minutes ago that we were fine at DT?

 

[J12B]

When he’s not exhausted from too many snaps, the guy is very hard to move in the run game.

Hopefully he only plays the 1st half of games.

2nd half opposing offenses will have to be throwing since we'll have a large lead by that time

 

[FanofJerry]

Wonder what kind of game shape he is in. Lot of season to go. I might get him in shape for a couple of weeks before deploying him if I am Dallas. Get him healthy as possible.

 

[GoldenR]

Now maybe everyone can agree our DTs weren't good enough.

They still will not agree.

 

[WarDaddy]

He’s 6’3” 340. Sounds like a 1-tech. Is anyone familiar with him? Is he any good at stopping the run?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Dan Quinn has input on the front office making this move, I'm sure. Hope he helps out or run defense.
