So is Gallup back?

[Proof]

He looked incredible yesterday. Wondering if it's just him shaking the rust off and what we can look forward to moving forward, or just a random great game. If he can continue to give us that kind of play, we're going to have a difficult offense to stop.

The confidence is definitely starting to show. He is exhibiting that dynamic form.

 

[Scottishcowboy]

I'm not sure yet. Some great contested catches but that's the thing.......contested.

I may be wrong here but I think he's still a bit short of that quick change of direction to create separation.

I do think that game will have done his confidence a world of good though.

I'll have to watch it again to be sure, but it looked like a lot of those throws were the reason the catches were contested.

 

[Doomsday]

I thought he looked a lot more explosive out of his breaks and going up for the ball vs Minn and continued that yesterday.

Like Olsen said during the game, nice to see a receiver using his hands to catch the ball.

Their timing continues to get better… don’t think he’s going to be back completely until next season!

His strength has never been separation

 

[Runwildboys]

He looks like the Gallup I remember from before the injury, and he's been steadily improving to this point, so I don't think it's a one off. I think he's back, with the possible exception of needing to get his cutting ability honed.

Thats a fair point

My brother laughed when he said that, thinking he was wrong. My brother doesn't really know football...He's a Jets fan, for some odd reason I don't even want to ask about.

same but i also love that he was making contested catches because that's an element we desperately need. obviously if they were contested primarily because of the reasons you stated, we don't want that, but it would be reasonable to expect him to continue to improve in those areas, while still having the ability to make the contested catch

He had no TC, no PS games and missed almost half the season. He was good but not this good before he got hurt.

He was pretty clutch before the injury and you have to remember, Cooper took a lot of the chances.

More importantly gives Dak confidence to throw to him knowing he will go GET the ball.

I wish CeeDee was much like Gallup: go get the ball.

But Gallup is definitely back. He is continuing to improve every week. Great to see since we will need the old Michael Gallup more as we enter December and January.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Does Gallup have a TD yet this season? I forget, but it's nice to have one more weapon for opposing D's to have to account for. Combine that with the TEs and RBs and we might be hitting our stride at just the right time.

 

[quickccc]

Good thing is Gallup was comfortable enuff to get into (back to) his more aggressive, physical mode.

His goof up on a coasting route led to a INT, but he made amendments for it (ditto with Lamb post-INT too)

But because of injuries, these were household CBs Gallup going up against .. and he wasn't getting a ton of separation against them.
All of them was very tight shoulder to shoulder contested battle balls. But he made several really tough snags.

 

[cnuball21]

We’re gonna need MG down the stretch. Teams are going to continue to double and bracket Lamb so he has to step up. His performance against NYnwas very promising…love his ability to fight and win contested catches.

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, he's back. This team is finally starting to come together on the offensive side of the ball. Offense is obviously starting to gel.

And how about that Hendershot run for the TD?

I suspect we'll see more and more of Hendershot in the running game moving forward. Because he can be a threat there as a blocker and as a runner.

Glad to see fans finally coming around to Hendershot.

I was starting to think it was possible he may get Kelvin Josephed.

He's getting there.

The guy had a torn ACL just last year. To expect him to be full strength in the 3rd week of November when, in fact, based on prior ACL cases, wasn't supposed to be back until the beginning of November is too much anyway. So he's really only three weeks out from his recovery date, and playing just fine....

Gallup has what it takes to get there. He's mentally tough and loves the game, his teammates, etcetera. That's probably why he's my favorite player on the team even if he isn't necessarily the most gifted.
