All Gallup did all day long was run up the field or post patterns, with a few jump balls. Where's the route tree? He'll be a good redzone WR, but I wouldn't expect many big weekly performances, and without a route tree, his future will be limited. If someone else in your league is impressed, I think he could be a good candidate to sell already.
Gallup?- just read a piece on WR coach Sanjay Lal's view on the game. The Cowboys know their WR issues will put pressure on the run game, so they want to put on film they can effectively attack deep and practice how to do it better.
I'm not concerned about what you said- don't think it says anything about Gallup's limitations.
The reason Gallup concerns me is because of what former Cowboys have said about their frustration with the offense. It's been pointed out by many former Cowboys that the coaches like their WRs to go deep, and slot/TEs to do crossing patterns. That's it. Dez didn't have much of a route tree, Terrance Williams either. Now here comes Gallup and it looks like the same old offense. It's predictable yet again. Not good. You kind of confirmed it with your response.
Gallup has the ability to get jump balls and snag them out of the air (GOOD!) but that's not sustainable long term and he didn't show me anything to believe he would be able and/or allowed to do anything else otherwise. If he was a WR for another team, my view my be different.
Yea, it's been pointed out that the Dallas offense has been stagnant, with players not varying their route, changing their pre-snap positions, no stacks, motion, playing only one side, etc.
The new WR coach specifically wants all WRs to play multiple positions, not just X or Y. He decided against advocating keeping Dez after he concluded Dez couldn't run all routes proficiently. Now, you could argue Dez never did because he never had to and was never trained to, but here we are.
Whether a WR coach can reinvigorate an entire offense, or whether the stagnant offense is caused not by the players' limitations but the play calling of the OC and HC is a valid question, to me. The WR coach is working with the WRs to get them to run routes and hide them better, but there are limitations to what he can do. He doesn't call plays, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
My comment was about trying to put things in film for regular (and postseason?) opponents to show they can effectively attack deep, hoping this helps keep pressure off the run game. Has nothing to do with whether it reflects what they'll do when the games count.
