SAN ANTONIO -- It takes a whole village to raise a right tackle.

At least, that appears to be the case for 20-year-old rookie Tyron Smith (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13978/tyron-smith), who was penciled into the starting lineup the second the Dallas Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys) selected him with the ninth overall pick.

Thanks to a one-day interruption of the lockout, Smith picked up a playbook and sat down for a crash-course chalk talk with offensive line coach Hudson Houck the day after he became the first offensive lineman drafted in the first round by the Cowboys in three decades. Then the Cowboys had to press pause on their involvement in Smith's development until he showed up for training camp.

Timmy should get a pass, he was the village idiot.

Gotta say, I was pretty nervous drafting this guy, but things have been looking real good so far.

"I showed him a pass-blocking move one day and he used it on me the next," Ware said. "I told him, 'Don't use that on me! Use it on somebody else!' He's a fast learner. He's a real fast learner."

So that's why we kept ending up with so many wrong tackles for all those years .. we had no village!
