Crazy Chauncey Golston factoid

[T-RO]

I really don't know what Chauncy Golston is as a player. We have so many good defensive ends in front of him. He just doesn't get playing time.

But today I spotted something which caught my eye.

Game 17 vs. Commanders was very forgettable game with little big-picture meaning. But Golston had 10 tackles! That's a huge number for a defensive end.

And they were quality tackles too. Two tackles for loss, and in those 10 plays he really suppressed yardage. Washington only gained 1.8 yards in those plays.

Could be a silly thing, like facing a bad blocker or backup. I don't know. Still, makes me more interested to see what Chauncey brings in the future. In closing: PFF likes him with 68.4. Don't think there's a third string DE in the league with such a nice score.

Crazy Chauncey Golston Factoid would make a great name for a rock band.

Maybe he will become a factor just in time to either let him leave in FA or pay him.

That’s how usually it goes for us, doesn’t it?

HaHa! Trying to think of the music style. Tower or Power from the 80s?

The title of your thread reminds me of the Scene in Band of Brothers when they are talking about Crazy Joe McClusky,

Isn't he playing inside and not as a DE?

Listed as DE. I do think you are correct that he sometimes plays inside.

I’m sure we will ruin his career and shove him in at DT underweight and call him “hybrid”

We’ve done it before

They played him there a bit in the preseason to see what he offered as an option (already have a good idea on outside) and it was “overthunk” and blown way out of proportion by fans. At 265ish he’s the backup 5tech to Lawrence and Armstrong on run downs and Fowler took the backup snaps on passing downs!

 

[tayloner]

He only played 22 snaps that game too, 13 at end and 9 on the interior.

He is like 295 now an huge. They do not run him as a typical 1 gap DE. They run him inside a lot and when he is outside he usually is 2 gapping.

He is by college career and physical size a hybrid. 6'5, 268+ pounds. Calling him such "ruins his career"?

How about trying to aim for more thoughtful posts rather than engaging the rage machine by default?

When I read your post I initially thought you were mad. Not possible. But yes looked it up... just 22 snaps.

10 high caliber tackles in just 22 snaps. That's crazy crazy crazy.

Again: don't know what it means as I don't take single game performances all that seriously. Especially a game 17 when neither team is highly motivated. But I'm keen to see more from Mr. Gholston.

You will need to prove that with hard links. Never seen anything with him above 270.

Calling your post suspect if you can't deliver evidence. I'll applaud you if you can prove 295, which you won't. Pure silliness.
