He has lots left in the tank
He’s still young by oline standards
He has to stay healthy but when healthy he’s still a dominate player and could be for a few more years
sorry I disagree. Age wise maybe he is younger but he has the body of a 40 year old at this point. The only way this franchise moves forward is when they realize he cannot/will not stay healthy for close to a full season. As much as he is one of my all times, we have to move away from him at OT and build

It’s back tightness. Team is being extra cautious right now.

wake me up when he misses a game.

Exactly back tightness is NOT an injury. Every man over 30 has woke up with a stiff back. It goes away in a day or two and you're good as new. 100% nothingburger.

I guess no one bothers to read what is actually being reported any more.

It's always straight to THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!
oh I did, and didn't need more than a few seconds to get that this is "tightness." I for one have no faith in this health, and have no faith what MM or Jerry says about it. Where the article is bang on is in regards to any injury news about him is/will be put under a microscope. Understanbly so, even if Jerry still thinks he has lots left in the tank....

Obviously, the front office doesn't feel this way after drafting his replacement.

Isn’t that why we drafted smith?
Seems the team is preparing for that day
We drafted two tackles in this last draft and one the year before
But 13-14 games by Tyron is better than most tackles in the league
But you have to prepare for the future which they seem to be doing

I think drafting 3 tackles in last two years is smart
It gives you options for the day he can’t play and the games he misses
That’s what you have to do at every position except maybe QB because you aren’t using a high pick on a backup QB
We certainly need to be doing that at WR too since Lamb will soon be up for a payday.

If you can only get 10-12 games a year from Tyron, you take them and hope he's available for the playoffs. Dude is still elite. He's played a lot of football. Get off his nuts.
