Hell, at this point in his career, I'll gladly take 15 healthy games.
BTW.... the most I've seen him smile on camera in a long time. ( a good thing )

Granted several year but he is just 30 and entered the NFL at age 20. Parson enters the NFL at age 22. I know Tyron has stated this is the best he has felt in several years. Hope he can put in full season
I think it is about "NFL mileage" vs just pure age.

Think about Terrence Newman. Came in the league at 25, and started games for 16 seasons until he was 39.

And I would doubt that Tyron plays 16 seasons in the NFL, let alone until he is 39. That's just too much mileage for a body to take, especially in the trenches.

Well, don't play hurt if you are going to be a liability out there, just because some fans get mad at you for being injured.

If he's back to past form, and according to Randy Gregory Tyron has been as impossible to beat as there is, this is huge. A definite HOFer and may go down as a top 3 LT of all time.

easily one of my all time favorite cowboys. love that guy

A healthy Tyron could solve our LT issues for the next 6 years easily. The best ones usually last deep into their 30s. Remains to be seen if it happens though.

Dude looks great…. Absolutely perfectly built as a LT. So glad to hear he is feeling great, and I hope he regains his dominance on the field

He looks like a boss Terminator. Please stay healthy Ty, you're a major piece to this galactic puzzle for a trophy.

When you say it year after year, it's a bit hard to believe, then again what is he supposed to say?

IMO, this means nothing. It's not like he wasn't trying to play games in previous seasons. Life happens!

I had been saying for several years now that he should have had surgery on his neck years ago, but the many doctors in here said no because there was no guarantee he would come out better...but quite possibly worse.

Well...

I'm not going to say it...but you know...

Glad Tyron FINALLY had the courage to have injury correction surgery on his neck. Hope he stays healthy.

I was kinda of hoping he’d play more than just the 17 games.

It would suck to play DE. When healthy Tyron is kicking ur butt every play every day all day. Every practice and every rep. You get nothing. Best LT ever.
