Dallas Cowboys rookie and former Oklahoma defensive tackle Neville Gallimore enjoyed the best game of his young career on Sunday under the spotlight against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Gallimore made a number of key plays at the line of scrimmage, drawing high praise from the commentary booth, including former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
“What a play!” Romo said after a key third-down spot led by Gallimore. “You see Gallimore doing a great job getting through, outstanding job coming down the line. Gallimore [is] having an outstanding game.”
Gallimore has racked up seven tackles and one tackle for loss through just three games this season, and it appears he’s really starting to turn it on down the stretch...
Check out my quick tips on evaluating Defensives Linemen...
Assessing your Linemen
A skilled defensive lineman will possess several traits that are vital to his success in exploiting the weaknesses of the offensive linemen. The seven things to look for are:
1.A quick first step.
2.A good, quick initial move.
3.Turning the opponent's shoulders.
4.A quick counter move.
5.The ability to make opponents "lose their feet" and to get opponents off-balance.
6.The ability to cause opponents to lunge and miss.
7.The skill to use their hands quicker than the opponent's hands
Moves of the Defensive Linemen
Bull Rush: If the blocker has his weight on his heels, it's ideal to use the bull rush. The bull rush is effective maybe 10 percent of the time and usually only when the blocker is on his heels. The defender charges hard. He then punches the heels of his hands into the outside of the chest or under the armpits of the blocker. His legs drive hard as he pushes the blocker into the passer. This is especially effective if the defender has a size or leverage advantage.
The Rip: In the rip or pin-and-rip technique, the defender slaps and pins the blocker's arm with one arm. The defender drives his far arm with a hard rip under the near arm of the blocker. If the defender is going to his right, he hooks his left arm under the left shoulder of the blocker, lifting the shoulder with the charge. When doing the rip move, stay low at contact--use speed and quickness to your benefit.
The Push-Pull: In those instances where the defender senses the offensive lineman putting more of his weight in front of him or that he is lunging, the defender should use a push and pull technique. The push/pull is much like the bull rush, except at a point within the rush, the defender lets up, causing the offensive lineman's forward momentum to push him forward. The defender can just pull him down.
The defensive lineman should read draw or screen when setting up a push/pull. You don't want to get caught on the pull going the wrong way.
The Spin Move: The spin move is demonstrated in this next part. Remember to emphasize that the defensive lineman should maintain a low center of gravity. The quicker the spin, the better the result.
