PFT: Schotty has confidence in Bass replacing Tyler Smith

So do I... we'll be fine. Good experience for Bass if we need him again later in the season....

If Bass is that good, then move Smith to LT when he returns and finally solve the problem there.

 

[MarcusRock]

He better. For Bass, this is a contract year, right? He has a chance to put out great tape for that cause so the optics look good.

Bad post. What do you expect him to say??

 

[maryquality]

Well, I sure as heck hope he has confidence in Bass, or we're going to be SOL.

They chose to pay Bass almost six million dollars. He means it.

Exactly. Does anyone think Shottenheimer would say "Bass is terrible and we are in trouble..."?

 

[DuncanIso]

I think he will do ok.

It’s a big drop off in talent.

 

[Creeper]

Pass protection is only one part of his job. They need to be able to run the football too.

Bass is a terrific player that would start on the majority of NFL rosters.

It's the relationship with Guyton and Beebe that could be a problem.

Then, again, none of these guys have played a down this year, so it might have been clunky anyway in the first game.

Bass is fine but it’s certainly a downgrade. It’s times like these I’m glad NY traded Dexter Lawrence.

Damn I thought he would say, I hate bass that no good player we don't even want him sheesh lol

BRO LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL that's what I've been thinking too, if he was there we'd really be in trouble. I was thinking the same. Kind of reminds me of us vs the eagles when Carter wasn't there to play lol

Better to RT. Don't want him thinking he's underpaid while playing a premium position. (Mild sarcasm)

Only if Guyton can play RT. Guyton has looked good the little he played last year toward the end, and he has looked solid so far this year
Steele on the other hand..........

Jerry's notes were short today

It's funny. That scenario could play out.

Let's say Bass steps in for four games and is fantastic, but Guyton doesn't show the improvement they want from him and Jones doesn't look like he can step in at left tackle right now OR has to step in at right tackle for Steele. I could see Dallas in that scenario keeping Bass at LG and inserting Smith at LT. Maybe we would even create an opportunity for Guyton to compete at RT.

I don't think he's lying at all.......he's been honest about Steele and Guyton. Why would Bass be any different?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Bass would be a starter on a lot of teams this year
