Crazy Chauncey Golston factoid

[blueblood70]

Tank and his overaggressive play last year was one of the reason why teams were DESTROYING Dallas with outside runs. Too many games there were plays were he shoots so far up the filed that he gave runners clean paths outside the tackle. And, DE's with $26M Cap Hits should be doing more than being good run-stoppers, ESPECIALLY if you have an All-Pro Edge Rusher playing opposite you. But, I'M the clueless one...got it. Keeping him past his prime will end up just like the Zeke contract issue.

DISAGREE 100%

DISAGREE 100%

And that's your right. As is it's mine to disagree with your assessment.

100% correct! BUt im bettign 75% of most football people who watch film would agree with me.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I didn't realize that Golston bulked up that much. Dallas really did move him into the Crawford zone... probably past it.

And, if you get that proof, then and only then will I possibly change my mind. But, too many times last season I saw Tank as one of the responsible parties for poor line play by not properly setting the edge. It's if he was too busy chasing sacks, which was a problem quite often last year for the DL.

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

I am thinking more like a 1970s classic rock band - sounds like the bass guitarist.

That was his weight at the combine. He put on a lot of weight between year 1 and year 2.



https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/...ys he enters practice,he ever did last season.

Shall I post his combine measurements?

I await my applause.

295 has NEVER been Chauncey Gholston's weight at the combine, nor since. You are only digging yourself a deeper hole to sleep in. A cold hole with no applause, and no Snickers bars.

Find an official source and prove it. You can't.

He is listed on the Cowboys web site as
DEFENSIVE END

Maybe, as already discussed he plays a bit of DT. He's not playing any reps as Edge at 295, LOL.

He did play this season at 290 plus, and he plays mostly at 4i. Not at a traditional DE position

its all over the internet analytics are discussed weekly and his grades were high in pass rush win rate and playing the run.. not a lot of sacks but he impacts the game.

sorry im not going back to things that were discussed all in season and find that info, i read it know its true, you go find it ..

Golston = Crawford.

Here's the thing. Crawford was a very good player. THEN, we overpaid him and played him at DE due to necessity. Guys like him are great rotational players.

These type players are great to have around, as long as a team is smart w/ them.

 

[xwalker]

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.

You have to listen to interviews during training camp. There won't be any links unless it's to twitter.

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

We’ve done it before

He beefed up last offseason just for that. He's not a standard defensive end because he doesn't really have the pass rushing prowess for that. He's better as run-stopping DE/pass rushing 3-tech.

We're not ruining him by using him that way. We'd be doing him a disservice if we used him strictly as a 4-3 DE.

 

[gimmesix]

Yes when he was drafted that was mentioned, the dreaded position flex. And was even mentioned like Tyrone Crawford on one of the local radio shows after he was drafted.
At least Quinn knows better to waste him like that, or I hope so anyway.
See where he fits, and keep him there.

He fits as a base 4-3/3-4 hybrid end on run downs and 4-3 DT on pass downs.

It was always the plan. Golston was considered a really good run-playing DE who lacked the ability to take the corner against the pass. Quinn saw him as a player who could help against the run in that quasi-3-4 he likes to run on run downs and slide inside as a pass rusher in the nickel.

 

[speedkilz88]

Michael Bennett played the same positions for Quinn in Seattle.

He was given links to all of it.

I don't like equivocating players but this is poor.

Golston has a much better bubble, bigger upper body, and longer arms. He is a prototypical 4i DE.

Crawford not so much. I guess you are just going by how they make you feel.

Look at his official weight on Cowboys site or NFL.com. Not over 270. Watch the tape...if you have an eye you'll see about that.

Rule for the future, folks: you don't trust players, or their agents to tell you how much they lift, how fast they run or what they weigh. I thought that was common sense, but I guess not common enough.

At 275 a guy can be a hybrid, a third down DT. After watching that 10 tackle-Commander game...it was more a scrambling, hustling thing, as opposed to anchor/power

 

[Cowboys4FL2022]

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.

All about playing time and getting more opportunities dude is a sleeper and will take over this upcoming year book it!

Similar playing styles.

Why don't you leave out crapp like your last sentence so we can have discussions? Are you capable of disagreeing w/o throwing grade school insults?

They really do not play the same style. Crawford tried to play off a shoulder and Golston is straight power.

As for my supposed insult, there is nothing wrong with people going by what they feel. A lot of people do it and come up with great things. I say it because your takes are not empirical.
