Those Runs up the Middle

[kskboys]

I watched as closely as I could, and every time I saw Galley and Osa in there on those runs up the middle.

Is it really worth it to give up those middle runs just to play lanky guys at DT?

How was Hankins?

 

[JayFord]

theyre working Hankins in so hopefully things pan out

but you have to keep playing the slim guys theyre a great pass rushing unit

How was Hankins?

He played well. I thought the combo w/ him in there was overall better.

Hankins kicked *** first few plays he was in.

The guy is difference maker. I see him starting probably next week.

That is why we lost to SF in the playoffs. Sure we have to?

Gallimore has no push on run plays. He just gets moved wherever the O line wants him to go. He gives you nothing on pass plays either. We might need to pick up another DT. I don’t see how the team can keep playing him.

I agree. Big disappointment too. I thought he would be better. I actually think Trystan Hill is better. But Hankins showed what a better than average DT looks like.

I saw them starting putting Hankins/Bohanna and they weren't get much inside.

Pretty close to what I was thinking. We desperately need a starting quality UT(Under Tackle) to start next to Hankins. I can't overstate how much difference it would make.

Feel like we struggle mostly against QBs that can run…Fields is about as good as it gets.

It doesn’t help we refuse to let Parsons play MLB in base defense to help the run. Teams run right at him bc he’s undersized and he can’t set an edge.

He should’ve spied Fields most of the game.

Same thing I saw. And as soon as they went back to Galley/Osa, the gashing up the middle came right back.

How was Hankins?

I thought he made a stop on his first snap. Might have just been the first snap I saw him play.

Gallimore is definitely not lanky. He has alligator arms

We are screwed up the middle with the deficient linebacking play. And it showed in spades. No way with a competent linebacking corps Chicago would have scored this many points and our weak link and may derail any playoff hopes.

He is compared to Hankins!!!!!

For a DT, 6-3/305 is rather lanky. Sort of a tweener, not lanky but not stout either.

Going to have to give up some pass rush and have those big bodies man the inside.

Especially when the middle is cleared out and they get a free run at our LB's.

We did ok in the middle the edges were soft but again DQ playing with a big lead didnt give them much PA opps

..thats why they pursued Hankins.
