ST: Cowboys All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith lands on injury report

[LocimusPrime]

This has been overlooked, and could be a contributing factor to overall decline in Oline play

The good news is Tyron had to manage the same thing most of last year and he was generally fine.

What's worrying me this year is I'm seeing Travis Frederick and Zack Martin getting pushed around more than I ever have.

 

[Trouty]

A lot of us were worried about T's back in the offseason.

I don't like it.

2 years in a row and young guy as it is, does he need surgery? If he does, time to draft a LT again

Whoa, nelly!

I wouldn't go so far as to say we need to replace the best LT in the game.

Our trainers need to figure this out and adjust accordingly. No way do we throw a number one pick at LT, tho. TSmith will be with us his whole career, and he has showed that he will fight through most injuries.

Still, Woicik and Co need to fix this.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Yeah, because if he needs surgery, no one has ever come back from surgery before.

The bad news is you can tell that his upper back is stiff as a board and it is limiting his flexibility. He couldn't twist on that inside move Chandler Jones put on him.

Back issues are the worst possible scenario for pretty much any football player. I feel for the guy.

 

[Screw The Hall]

I feel like this is the "real issue" everyone should be pessimistic about. Everything else has a probable fix as the season matures.

Tyron was awful against the Rams. I'm worried more about him than Frederick or Martin at this point.

It just goes to show how fragile that whole thing (OL) is. When its lit its machine-like, when its off even the all-pros look like first year players.

Our bye might be coming at the right time. Get Smith more time and get Lee close to 100%. GB close to a must win for early season game, IMO.

I don't think it's a must win at all.

I do believe it would be a huge win for a team that everyone feels has underperformed to this point yet would be heading into their bye week with a win against their recent playoff nemesis and a 1-0 record within the division.

Back surgery for a Left Tackle?

That would be very bad -- don't kid yourself.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
