Tyler Guyton is the key to the entire season

[lk8701]

The Cowboys had a good offseason. Strong draft and now Pickens. The biggest X factor for the Cowboys is Guyton. He had a subpar rookie year and his level of play is unacceptable for a starting LT. He needs to make a major leap forward for the Cowboys to truly have a chance this year. Hopefully Klayton Adams + the Cowboys strength and conditioning staff can help Guyton elevate his performance.

Huge. They desperately need this guy to develop into a player.

I agree to a large extent that Guyton and Mazi's growth are important to seeing team improvement. However, I think the biggest question remains can Dak rebound? Guyton can obviously help with getting him better protection, and Mazi can help with getting the defense off the field but a lot is on Dak's shoulders.

can the coaches do their jobs?

number 2 question.

Your whole premise means nothing if 1 and 2 do not go our way.

If that's the case...

1,2,3, Cancun!!!

The QB is always the key to any season.

Not an OLineman.

So, you're leaning playoffs???

The QB is always the key to any season.

Not an OLineman.

Especially when said QB eats up like 25% of your cap space and is supposed to make up for the fact that you can't sign top flight lineman at every position.

Guyton isn’t as important as you think. Mazi contributing is more important. Asim Richards or moving Tyler Smith to LT would work fine. But the depth at DT is questionable at best.

This was jerry idiocy. The offseason plan of drafting a raw RT and plugging him in at LT day one was just wishful thinking. Poor guy had to go against Myles Garrett in his first game. Hoping for a better result in year 2 with new OL coach and OC.

 

[Jarntt]

I’m not saying that either will, but imagine if both Guyton and Mazi play up to their draft status this season

 

[Doomsday]

Call me crazy, but I still have faith in Guyton and think he will improve quite a bit.

 

[chicago JK]

We really need him to step up. It sounds like they have contingincies if he does not. He was new to the position and young, so you hope to see improvement. Although, the team was clearly better when he was out and appeared to get worse as the year went on. We have seen that an offense can be wrecked if a team has a good pass rusher that dominates a tackle.

We all know they won't dare put that on Dak's shoulder.

Guyton is important no doubt but he will be replaced immediately if he doesn’t improve. The Cowboys have a million guards on the roster for a reason. They would move Tyler Smith to tackle if they have too.

I think so.

All that needs to be said.

Tyler Guyton is the key to the entire season

He is at least 3rd on the list after the coaching staff and the quarterback.

I could be talked into saying stopping the run is more important too.

Not sure he’s the key to the season but he certainly needs to get his act together. The Cowboys also addressed the position with some veteran FA signings in case he falters. LT is certainly an important position seeing as how he protects the QB’s blind side.
