FEATURED Tyler Smith Is Out 4-6 Weeks

[droopdog7]

Obviously, this sucks, but it’s not season ending. Everything deals with injuries

It's not It's his knee he's had severe tendonitis the last two years in his knee and now they're trying to cover it up I told people for a while now that think that he could be the left tackle of the other tackles don't work out and I said no he can't he can't work in space 'cause he has a severe case of tendonitis in his knee and everyone called me an idiot how about now they're lying about the thumb it didn't just pop up they tried to give him days off during the offseason but his knees are really bad.. It's not like a real injury tendonitis is something it's hard to get over if you've ever had it it's worse than arthritis combined with tendonitis you have no strength you can't push off on it It makes you feel really weak...

I knew it.....Something wasn't adding up. Now this story makes sense. It would be just like this smart *** coaching staff to try and pull a quick one on the rest of the league. Trying to hide an injury....that's way more plausible.

Based on?

His pass blocking is above average. His run blocking isn't as good. But the Cowboys gave him a 2nd round restricted free-agent tender so they must think he isn't so horrible.

We are much better suited that guard I will give you that I wish we'd have kept Hoffman but it's not just bass we have the most talent inside starting guard and center and backup guard and center a lot of dudes on this roster that can cover that up my point was nobody listened to me the last few weeks when there was a few guys clamoring for Tyler Smith being the alternate left tackle and I said no he has knee problems Severe tendonitis means it's not an injury it's a health injury It means some days he feels really good and some days he can barely walk without limping I know what it is I understand what it is i've experienced it but it's not been hidden that much someone do a search and show me where I'm wrong..

But you're right we have more depth inside then we do outside tackles our problem and I'm not that worried about it..

Enough time to get ready to play LT and move Guyton to his original position.

Guyton is in his original position. He played blindside tackle in college as well. Doesn’t matter that it was RT; he had a left-handed QB. The protections, etc are the same regardless of what actual literal side he lines up on.

It’s not left vs right: it’s blindside vs frontside.

Guyton has been a blindside tackle his entire college and NFL career.

A thumb? Cut it off, tape it to the others, rub dirt on it….get your butt back in there!

You're right but it's not an injury they're playing you people for not listening last year he was put on a snap count he wasn't practicing you remember Tyron Smith always offer veteran days taking time off to make sure he can playing games Tyler Smith has some severe tendonitis in one of his knees I can't remember what's knee it was but it didn't get past me I remember since last year they've been trying to hide it..
But you are correct it is not season ending it is not a real injury is something he has to take time off so it's calms down and stops flaring up and then he can play that is tendonitis do you know what arthritis and tendonitis is sometimes it's so debilitating you can barely walk without limping you can barely grab things without pulling I've had it in my shoulders I've had it in my knees But other days you feel 100 percent..

We finally got all of them together for a game!!!! Oh wait…..never mind…..

They can try to sell me that his thumb hurts I don't buy it somehow without practicing without being in preseason games he has a thumb injury that needs surgery that none of us knew about until right this minute He's had severe tendonitis in one of his knees for the last two years and people don't realize he's been taking days off He's been limited He's actually got more penalties than he usually has for grabbing It's been there the whole time he's not moved well in awhile.

You're right it comes it goes they tried to hide it they couldn't and now they're saying it's a thumb injury I don't buy it He has an injury that takes time it is truly an injury it is tendonitis you know it's kind of like arthritis you can't control it You lose strength but hey if you gonna believe it's just a sudden thumb injury that came from no real practice no preseason games he just somehow today realized he needed surgery and a thumb a week before the game started the real games is all of a sudden it just popped up..

It didn't he's hardly even practice this year and it takes a long time to get over tendonitis and then you can play two or three games and then it suddenly comes back

 

[Floatyworm]

How the ***** do you injure your thumb to this degree before the regular season even starts bro

Exactly...this whole story isn't mathing....... Feels like a Michigan running the scoreboard kind of story.....

 

[KingCorcoran]

So what are you going to throw in the towel for the first month or pull up your britches and see how the team performs first.

No, but not going to delude myself about it making no difference. It’s a setback.

that because he isnt is injured but it's more health than anything I've been following this for two years I don't know how people think it got swept under the rug because of the rest of the stuff that was going on he's had a debilitating tender night is issue in one of his knees it comes it goes but sometimes you can't control when you lose strength in your knee and now they have to take him out for a couple of weeks..

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I could have said Gretzky but I dont think he'd play through it

Hard to play through that in hockey given you have to grip a stick.

But see I don't call what he has an injury Sometimes you have health issues that come and go arthritis and tendonitis are things you can't control just like who is the player that had a severe Is there anything specifically done migraines you understand those are headaches right but really really bad headaches and sometimes you can play most of the season and then you get these migraines that keep you from practicing or focusing and they got to keep you off for a month until you get over the migraine I wouldn't call that injured that is a health issue that you can't control or time when it comes around and how you get over it...

 

[Relayer]

makes you think it's a relatively recent injury and not something they had been contemplating.

This seems like business as usual with the team. They would rather have a guy play injured than get something dealt with properly until it gets so bad they can't play.

 

[DuncanIso]

Who had this as your O-line going into the season????

LT-Guyton/Shelton (Not ready to play)
LG-Bass/No back up/T. Smith (hurt-IR)
C-Beebe/No back up/Leverett (practice squad)
RG-Booker/Cornelius (hurt-out)
RT-B. Jones (6 practices)/Steele (Sucks)

Yeah...I can see what might be holding us back this year

Yup.

It’s a mess.

Should have been fixed properly in the 1st round.

I don't think they're hiding anything I think people are just not paying attention they kind of hide it but at the same time they say hey we're keeping him out for a veteran days off but if you watch the last two years he said tendonitis in 1 of his knees has kept him from practicing It's just like the guys who have had severe migraines they're not really injuries so they're not going against league rules It's something that they can't control when it happens or how long a player will be out...

You know what i'm gonna admit I could be entirely wrong but I've been following Tyler Smith's tendonitis for a while nobody's kind of paying attention to it but it can be debilitating but at the same time is it an injury or is it a health issue that you can monetary and get past with time off.

They used to call them veteran Days off What all that meant was we got news that are older and they have some of these issues with arthritis tendonitis or things that kind of flare up and they gotta give him days off and sometimes it doesn't give them a problem for 4 or five weeks and then all of a sudden they have to be out for a while..

I know people are gonna call me ridiculous.. But I've been keeping up with this since last year I mean I remember they've been keeping him out veteran days off a lot for tendonitis severe tendonitis And it has been the reason where you sometimes see him struggling he he's reaching he's grabbing he's getting penalties he usually doesn't get he has not been himself for a while..

 

[Relayer]

How???

Stuck his thumb in a sugar plum, obviously.

 

[HungryLion]

The players might rate the facility low, but that has no reflection of the staff.

The Cowboys is considered near the best in the league. The opposite of trash. Dig into it and you will see I'm correct and not just saying they are.

Sure if you say so.

I guess that means they didn’t drop the ball this time then huh?

 

[AbeBeta]

Glad we have Bass!

Major downgrade from All Pro to backup.

Leaves a bit of a leadership void, but I expect Booker is going to step up there -- he was a captain at Alabama -- that's pretty elite leadership

 

[blueblood70]

This seems like business as usual with the team. They would rather have a guy play injured than get something dealt with properly until it gets so bad they can't play.

That's because it's not what it is there's a big difference between an injury and a health issue when you have severe arthritis and tendonitis in this case I've been following Tyler Smith is on the Tyron Smith practice plan he has severe tendonitis in one of his knees and sometimes it doesn't bother him for a really long time and other times he needs days off weeks off and I think in this case they're gonna try to give him enough time off or they can play him longer stretches during the season but it's not business as usual are you kidding me most teams will try to strategize and keep this from the rest of the league not trying to cheat they think they can get them through limited practices and hope that it bounces back but is not an injury it is health when you have severe tendonitis in one of your knees of course I'm gonna tell everyone it just popped up Oh my God he's got a thumb injury that needs surgery.. I don't believe it i've been watching this for two seasons tyler Smith has a tendonitis issue in the knee that pops up whenever he does and they have to give him days off and sometimes a week off or he's getting beaten games and you're wondering why that doesn't look like the regular Tyler Smith that's because he has problems moving he loses strength and his knee.

But you're right I can't prove it so I'm wrong OK I'm wrong//
