Dynasty: Michael Gallup Puns Galore (1 Viewer)

[Faust]

Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins reports Michael Gallup (knee) will undergo an MRI.

It's unclear if it's precautionary. Gallup led the Cowboys with a team-high eight targets in their Week 2 win over the Redskins, but the second-year wideout was absent for a portion of the final quarter for unknown (until now) reasons. We'll know more Monday, but any extended absence for Gallup would obviously be detrimental as he's been a key downfield cog in Kellen Moore's scheme through two weeks of play.

Hopefully Gallup will get some good news from the MRI. I’d hate to see a scenario where they have to send him to the short term pasture.

I just hope this doesn’t effect his gait.  

 

[az_prof]

I hope he is ok. We can't afford for our target horse to come up lame. Seriously. Hope he is ok. 

 

[IheartGuinness]

Darn. Another one of my WRs has to hoof it to the doctor. I was riding pretty high on him this year, too. Really looked like he was ready for the mane event. I'll yell until I'm horse if he misses any time.

Rein it in, guy.

 

[FGITLOTR]

Rein it in, guy.

Rein it in, guy.

I think I know which play it happened, as I remember being surprised he was able to get up and continue playing 

 

[JoeSteeler]

oh no!  sounds like he has a hitch in his giddy up

 

[Interseptopus]

Any word? has he been sent to the glue factory yet? 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Any word? has he been sent to the glue factory yet? 

Should be ok by the next Breeders Cup.

 

[Todem]

They will just give him a lot of Lasix and he will be off and running again.

 

[TheWinz]

He's currently in stable condition.

 

[joey]

I might have to go graze on the waiver wire to find a suitable replacement to trot out there next week.

 

[Slider]

He's going to trot out there next week. 

 

[Football Jones]

Gallup has been making hay.

 

[iamkoza]

wow, just realizing the convenience of horse puns... way to make me laugh while i frantically look for good news on his injury

 

[joey]

Sounds like Gallup needs clean up on meniscus and will be put out to pasture for 2-4 weeks.

 

[Interseptopus]

he wont be running any laps any time soon

 

[Rove!]

I hope he is ok. We can't afford for our target horse to come up lame. Seriously. Hope he is ok. 

He is one Dak’s mane weapons...

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (meniscus) will miss 2-4 weeks.

Gallup will undergo arthroscopic surgery to trim his meniscus. The good news is that there's reportedly no structural damage besides the meniscus tear, so the return is expected to be quick. Look for Devin Smith to take the majority of Gallup's outside snaps. Smith demonstrated some of the elite field-stretching ability that made him a second-round pick back in 2015 last week, catching all three of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown. Amari Cooper will continue to work as the Cowboys' undisputed No. 1 pass-game target, while Randall Cobb will stick to his slot role.

Giddyup!

 

[dotsonian]

Even after his return i'm going to bridle my expectations

 

[Gottabesweet]

Going to be tough to hold on a short bench (4 spots)  At worst you'll see him Week 9 after the bye.

going to have to tie him to the hitching post for a few weeks

 

[tangfoot]

going to have to tie him to the hitching post for a few weeks

He'll be champing at the bit to get back onto the field

 

[Mystery Achiever]

He's going to trot out there next week.

I don't get it

 

[Gottabesweet]

I don't get it

It's 2-4 weeks.  4 Weeks put us at Week 7 return. Dallas has a bye Week 8, so they could opt to hold him out one additional week to get extra bye week rest.

I hope he's able to hoof it after the scope.

He's looking a gift horse in the mouth.

He’s not going to be out furlong, so is well worth holding

 

[Football Jones]

Time to saddle up Devin Smith.

 

[Football Jones]

Gallup was looking like a stud.

Key takeaways and stats to know from Week 2

Excerpt:

CHRIS GODWIN, MICHAEL GALLUP TAKING STEPS FORWARD

Michael Gallup was one of PFF’s highest-graded wide receivers in college football in his final year at Colorado State (2017), but the young wideout underwhelmed as a rookie in Dallas. He’s off to a much better start in Year 2, as he currently ranks second in receiving grade (85.0) among all wideouts with 40 or more routes run so far this season. He ranks second in yards per route run (4.35) and ninth in yards after the catch per reception (6.9). Gallup also leads the team in aimed target share at 24.2%. Dallas’ offense will miss his production now that he’s sidelined for two to four weeks.

Gallup was looking like a stud.

with a long face.

 

[ratbast]

I’m going to have to hitch my wagon to a different WR. 

 

[grateful zed]

maybe recovering from this injury will spur him on.

 

[grateful zed]

we need some legit updates in this thread.

quit horsing around, faust.

 

[grateful zed]

he has fallen and cant giddyup.

 

[grateful zed]

this injury is truely a tale of whoa.

 

[grateful zed]

my fantasy team is a nightmare.

 

[grateful zed]

i can decide between adding him or james washington, its neck and neck.

 

[grateful zed]

What's the difference between praying in church and praying at the racetrack?

At the track you really mean it.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

we need some legit updates in this thread.

It's really too bad that this place is full of smart alecks that can only deliver one liners while us serious players are stuck not knowing what lineup to trot out next week.

we need someone here who has the inside track.

 

[az_prof]

Cooper should be chalk this week.  To replace Gallup lay your money on Cobb--he's got pretty good form. Or try to snag Demarcus Robinson.

If y’all mosey on over to the Damien Williams thread, you’ll see that someone in here left our barn door open.

Do please try to corral the horse puns to one thread.

Thanks!

Puns aside.

Anyone know if this type of surgery is on the latter end of the 2-4 weeks?

Looking at the end of my bench for someone to drop and not sure I can hold Gallup any longer.
