Twitter: When new Cowboys DT Johnathan Hankins was on the field last Sunday

[G2]

He can manage a double team which will be a nice gift to the linebackers. And if he's singled, he's gonna get some tackles.

That is an exaggeration, Martin is an OL and Pollard a RB. Both Donald and Hankins are DL. I do understand the difference. Again I was responding to what Carson said.

I don't understand. If you know the difference, why the comparison?

You missed my point. They play different positions. Polar opposites.

 

[Verdict]

Aaron Donald is a UT, Hankins is a NT. Completely different positions.

Ok. You have sold me. Let’s get them both on the field for us, side by side.

I was responding to someone else. My response was to Carson, not you. You jumped into it.

And they still play different positions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they want to be better against the run, they can get Parson off the LOS so he can attack the ball carrier.

We now desperately need a disruptive UT to play next to him. Changes the entire D.

Yeah. The problem is that they are hard to find in the draft.

Yup. I can't shake the belief that Parsons would be better as an off the ball LB. I don't think he'll last long bashing his body against huge dudes.

Incredibly hard to find.

Yes Donald has played at every DL position. they move him around. including at NT. they will line him up on the outside, they will line him up inside. Pretty much anything the Rams want they can get from him as far as DL postion.

He is much more dangerous when he can utilize his vision and speed. Not to say you don't have him rush the passer, but man he would wreak havoc on a oppositions running game from the 2nd level.

And he's still a completely different type player than Hankins!!

Man, you have a lot of trouble w/ simple concepts.

2nd level player. Good way to describe.

 

[Carson]

Different position.

Yes I understand Donald does not play a 1T.

Just simply meaning people expect Aaron Donald type domination from our DTs. He dominates the game in a different way.

He is a run clogger and looked good to me. This makes the 3T and LBs job much easier.

 

[Acceptablename]

Absolutely amazing that it took Jerry this long to figure this out. Yes, a big run stopping DT at NT helps w/ stopping the run all over the D. As well as keeping your LB's on the field, as they don't get near as many ball carriers getting a free run. A guy who hasn't gotten up to full speed yet has a much less likely chance of hurting a player.

U need a Donald type beside a Hankins type. No, I did not say we need Donald as he is a generational talent, but we do need a disruptive UT.

I agree they are different but when you compare a OG like Martin to that of Pollad that is just stupid. No matter how you cut it both guys are DL you comparing a Guard to that of a Running back is flat out stupid. As I said Donlad can play every spot on the DL and has. Hankins is a NT his job is to shut down run take on double team. Donald is moved around and never loses effectiveness at any spot on the DL

Now you're getting it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, comparing 2 players at different positions is stupid!!! So glad you finally realized that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
