Remember this post. Thoughts? He’s powerful with a mean streak. He’s also more athletic than most guards.
No, he play LT in 2023 and beyond.Remember this post. Thoughts? He’s powerful with a mean streak. He’s also more athletic than most guards.

Do you even know the difference in OG and OT?False
Ditto here
Tyler to permanent LG would also mean the hunt for a permanent LT to permanently replace Tyron would continue. ..must continue.
He’s a top 3 tackle. He was under paid fir 5 years. He’ll be here unless we get a 1stTyron's salary for 2023 is 13.6M.
I just don't see Stephen Jones keeping him another season.

I doubt he plays guard 5 full years (or even 1?), let alone get 5 All ProsRemember this post. Thoughts? He’s powerful with a mean streak. He’s also more athletic than most guards.

STRENGTHS
Tyler looks like an athletic offensive guard, player offensive tackle. He has good size and strength and is a powerful offensive lineman. He shows just enough lateral agility and quickness to be moved inside as a guard. Tyler is quick out of his stance and excellent at going out to the second level making his blocks. He has the athleticism to be used as a pulling offensive lineman and on sweeps and screens. Tyler has excellent athletic talent to play more than one position on the offensive line for the team that selects him but as I always say, it takes more than talent to play in the NFL.
CONCERNS
Tyler when playing tackle has never known a penalty that he didn’t want to commit. After being a starting offensive lineman for his college team his techniques are so poor it makes my headache. This sends a signal to me that Tyler is not very coachable and struggles with authority figures. It also sends a signal to me that most authority figures in his football life have enabled this attitude because of his athletic talent. To minimize these issues, I think you have to move him inside.
BOTTOM LINE: 2.67
I love his potential at guard. I love the fact that a very smart center who he can have respect for, will help him to mature. I love his power to run block and his athleticism to pass block. But I don’t love using him as a tackle and I think that using him as a tackle will be his downfall. After he is in the NFL for 4 or 5 years, a team might ask him to move to tackle in a pinch, but he should be a hell of a guard. I believe that Tyler can be a pro bowl guard and one of the best in the NFL.
Even if Tyron comes back and plays like an all pro it probably just changes the narrative from releasing him this offseason to trading him. Time will tell, and honestly I'm very hesitant to take a hard stance approach on this topic as you never know, I just see it as being very difficult to keep Smith. Yeah he's a great value for a top T in the league, but the guy hasn't played a full season since 2015 and only played 13 games in 2020,2021, and so far in 2022 combined. The Cowboys need some cap relief next year in the worst way and if you can move on from Tyron with a replacement on the roster, free up $10MM and get a 3rd or 4th round pick back it makes a lot of sense to do it.If Tyron finishes out the season looking like Tyron, he's almost certainly back. Wouldn't be surprised if they extend him in the offseason.
We spent 7 figures on Schulz. We'll keep spending it on Tyron until the wheels fall off. At least next year.
McGovern is in his contract year this year. Biadasz and Steele next year.
If Tyron can't come back, or he doesn't look like Tyron, then maybe they move on. Maybe. Even then we probably wouldn't find out til training camp.
