What happened to that guy this season?

I felt like he was going to have a breakout and become one of the better DTs in the league but the guy has been super quiet all season..

Did anyone else expect a breakout?
Look at it like this. At least he is fresh, a big body, and has game experience. He is still learning his craft. He was a wrestler before he played ball in college. He is green still. He flashes at times.

I absolutely believe that Hill was better than Gallimore, but that just shows how bad our DTs are in general. Hill is a backup. This is a position that has needed attention for years in Dallas and all Jerry has done is throw on cast off after another at the position. It is just so obvious how important it is to have 1 or 2 powerful big bodies in the middle except to Jerry.

I think they cut Hill because he is a free agent at the end of the season and they had no plans to sign him anyway. But it is a shame they messed up waiving Ridgeway, who I think will eventually be the exact kind of DTs they need. Not flashing, but he will eat up blockers.

Neville is saving his breakout for the Playoffs.

I thought it was possible, but really he only flashed. Never really had any extended period of quality play. I also though there was a possibility that he may be more of a rotational DT. He is kind of an odd ball in the he has good size, but not much of an anchor and excellent linier explosion but incredible poor chance of direction. Also very strong, but very short arms.

They supposedly tried to trade him near the deadline. Wouldnt be surprised if they trade or cut him in the offseason

What happened is you were wrong about him. To think he was about to emerge as one of the better DTs in the league is just clueless homerism. He's a JAG. He couldn't be more of a JAG if he was traded to Jacksonville.

I'll be honest, outside of post draft hype there hasnt been too much positives from him.

The stench of Rod M is still here when it comes to defensive tackles.

We haven't had a solid DT for years! Cowboy fans get fired up every year we choose one in the draft and hype that jag up. Yet I watch other teams play and most have a DT who makes big plays

If you read the scouting reports when he came out, they were all consistent that he was a 3 tech only (finesse player dispute size), and that the temptation to try him at 1tech would be too strong and that the team who draft him would make the mistake of trying him there! Well, they tryed him there early in the season!

Last year when he came back from injury I thought he was a difference maker in the limited time he played. I thought that with a healthy camp he would take a step forward. He most certainly didn't.
And he never will as long as we keep playing him at NT.

Felt the same and have been extremely disappointed.
He was even inactive for a game and has been a nonfactor
