ColoradoHusk Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Really cool moment between Randy and the Cowboys. No matter what you think about Randy's issues or even the Cowboys, Randy is a Husker. Edited September 4, 2016 by Mavric Edited title Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Cowboys' Randy Gregory project features plan to bulk him up and mentorship from a Hall of Famer By Charles Robinson 14 hours ago Yahoo Sports <snip> Gregory, on the other hand, will be the wager that tests the Cowboys right now – on multiple fronts. It's clear that despite his immense talent, he is coming in as a project. Physically, he looks more like a basketball player now than an every-down defensive end. He needs to add a significant amount of weight and keep it on, and that's no guarantee. One scout said Gregory's weight issues reminded him of former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney, a player who was known to eat four massive meals a day, and a huge plate of pasta before he went to bed. And that was just to keep weight on. LINK There's a video interview with Randy as well. : Quote Link to comment

Weed? On a more serious note, I think he is going to be a beast of a player for the Cowboys. Nice play Randy. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 With the caveat that it's preseason, he looked great all night. Made himself right at home in San Diego's backfield. Quote Link to comment
Hoosker Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 With the caveat that it's preseason, he looked great all night. Made himself right at home in San Diego's backfield. Yeah he did! Although, it was odd not immediately being able to identify him. He's not towering over everyone anymore. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Neat little breakdown of some of Randy's plays. I know there were some questions about his first step since he wasn't usually asked to burst upfield in Bo's defense. Look closely at this picture, immediately post snap. The ball has not yet made it through the center's legs. Almost nobody on the field has moved. TE John Phillips has fired out. DeMarcus Lawrence has lifted his hand. Gregory is taking his first step. Here the ball is just arriving in the hands of QB Kellen Clemens. Gregory (circled in blue) is nearly a yard across the line of scrimmage. The WRs are just beginning to step. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2015/8/18/9163623/film-at-11-subject-cowboys-defensive-end-randy-gregory 6 Quote Link to comment

A lot of people thought he was too "light" for the NFL, but don't confuse body weight for overall strength. Gregory is plenty strong, especially for his speed. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 That was a great read. Sounds like Gregory is turning some heads down in Dallas. I listen to a Dallas-sports radio station on the interweb, and one of their hosts is very knowledgeable on the NFL. He is very high on Gregory, and thinks that Gregory can do a lot of things on the field. That said, rookie pass-rushers don't tend to put up huge sack numbers, so a season with only 5-7 sacks would still be considered a good rookie season for Gregory. Quote Link to comment

A lot of people thought he was too "light" for the NFL, but don't confuse body weight for overall strength. Gregory is plenty strong, especially for his speed.One common theme coming out of training camp is the praise for his "heavy hands". Then there was this little nugget from Marinelli: Never thought I would hear the words "Randy Gregory" and "playing strength" together, but that's exactly what Rod Marinelli said about his rookie defensive end post-practice. Marinelli went as far to say that he believes Gregory could be an every down player in this league sooner than later, but for now they are happy to continue to work him as a rusher. What I have noticed the most about his game is his willingness to take coaching and apply it. Whether it has been on his pass rush technique or playing the run, there are things he is doing in these practices that he wasn't doing at Nebraska. http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2015/08/17/broaddus-gregorys-growth-unheralded-wr-highlight-12-thoughts?campaign=social_20150817_50952866&adbid=10154198449117814&adbpl=fb&adbpr=99559607813 Honestly, I think he could be an every down DE this year, but I don't think that will be necessary. They kind of have an embarrassment of riches at end with Hardy, Lawrence, Mincey and Gregory. This season would be a great opportunity to develop some, get his weight up, and get his feet wet in pass rush packages. 1 Quote Link to comment
