When does Gallup Return?

[xwalker]

Gallup
I like what Wilson has done as a utility guy and I'm a fan of Noah Brown as a 4th/5th type WR...
- However, Gallup is a legit NFL starting WR and has been the deep threat guy.
- If Gallup returns to form, then it allows Lamb to focus on the slot type routes where he is dominant.
- With Gallup out, Lamb does not always get to run the routes that are best suited for him.

Schultz
TE Schultz is a good story, but he is still close to being in the utility player category.
- Kellen Moore has schemed him open.
- We saw in the Bronco games that Schultz struggles to separate or make contested catches.
- Schultz is not Witten.
- I still don't fully understand how Witten could beat CBs in man coverage, but he had that ability.
- Byron Jones liked to practice again Witten in an attempt to improve his own game.
- Witten routinely beat him despite Jones being an uber athlete.
- It was scaled down version of Mike Irvin vs Deion.
- Irvin was one of few that could beat Deion repeatedly i a game.
Schultz also does not have Jarwin's speed.
Jarwin didn't look too good this season, but they miss his speed.

Pollard
He has visibly bulked up and is better between the tackles than some fans/media believe...
- However, I don't feel like he has quite the freakish burst/athleticism as he did in the past.

Summary: My point is that the offense might need another big play threat.

Gallup better play this week. He’s being soft or they are being dumb/cocky. Time to play

 

[blueblood70]

this week is my bet...we need shot in the arm with gallup back in the offense..

Good points, interesting observation about Pollard

Hope we get him and Tank back asap.

You make some very good points, however I disagree with the summary. This offense shouldn't "need" another big play threat. You already have two of the best WRs in the league, two deep at RB, and depending on health anywhere from an average to elite OL.

We are starting to get back to the "Dak needs everything around him to be perfect" narrative, and thats just not true. Dak needs to play better, and the skill players we have need to not drop the ball. The Cowboys had so many opportunities to continue drives, even make big plays down the field. Dak was simply inaccurate all day, the OL combo proved to work against us, our receivers dropped more balls yesterday than it seems they have the rest of the season combined, and we had some questionable calls by MM on 4th downs. Had they been able to hit on a couple of those shots down field it may have been a completely different game, opened up the run game, and took some pressure off the defense.

A lack of talent on the Cowboys offense is simply not the case.

Summary: My point is that the offense might need another big play threat.

Wilson is a good "nick of time" type player that will make clutch catches. I like the description of a "utility" WR because he can play all the WR spots. However he doesnt have a dominant trait to excel anywhere, and he comes through when teams sleep on him. Gallup, even as our 3rd best WR, can still dictate what a defense does. Dont sleep on WR being our 1st round pick

Pollard reminded me alot of rookie and second year Felix Jones. His acceleration wasnt on an unreal level Jones was, but it was still top end. Unlike Jones he has improved with bulk however. He has been alot more consistent in his carries than his first two years. Right now he reminds me alot of Aaron Jones, and he is probably as good

 

[Zman5]

This is his third week back from IR so they either have to put him on the roster or IR him for the rest of the year. So my guess is he plays next week or at least will be on the 53.

I'd put my money on the Cowboys being dumb, see how they handled Dak

Always could use another high-end receiver as it will open up the offense. Cooper/Lamb in the slot in a nightmare matchup for any defense.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I think Pollards still got PLENTY of burst we’ve seen it all year. Denver just kicked our OLs rear yesterday

 

[cristglo]

Dallas all around just flat out Sucked yesterday!!! We will be ok every dog has a bad day now and then. Maybe we needed to get our butts whipped to bring the hunger back?

11 pressures alone allowed by Steele. They ate up the entire left side all day

 

[charron]

We didn't lose from lack of talent, we lost this game before they ever played a snap. They lost mentally and couldn't adjust or recover once things went south. Receivers were open but dropping easy passes, other times they were open and just missed. MM allowed these guys to practice like a middle school JV squad and they played like it. There are no easy games just ask the saints, bills, bangles.

Yeah switching the tackles was a big mistake it made us so weak on the left side. La’el maybe could’ve at least balanced the line if he went out to LT

Aaron Jones is my favorite non-Cowboys player.

He just finds a way to get it done.

Downside is that Jones needs backups to share the workload. He is too small for his physical style to be an every snap RB.

Guys like that are really good for high volume passing teams. A team that is looking for 200-250 carries, 50 catches and good blitz pick up

I think TP ends up starting somewhere next season. He is a good back, and it sucks we will lose him.

 

[lukin2006]

This team is still soft when it comes to injuries...

They treat these guys with kid gloves..

I'd love to have Gallup back...

 

[Praxit]

...it has nothing to do with Gallup. Playing or not, it's starts with OL. Talent goes as execution does.
