Tyron Smith.
Dak goes as the oline goes.
Cooper is elite and important but give Dak time and he will hit all and any of his receiving options.

Well, evidently, it's T. Smith as we saw how our o-line does without him!!

We've seen Dak play horrible without Cooper even when Smith is playing. Dak was horrible in 2018 before we traded for Cooper. Dak has only been without Cooper 1 time (against the Chiefs) since Cooper became a Cowboy and he looked like the 2018 pre-Cooper version of himself again.
Cooper Rush played just fine with Smith on the sidelines a lot of the Vikings game. Amari Cooper made the important plays on that winning drive.
We destroyed the Falcons without Smith.
My vote goes to Cooper.

I went ahead and went cooper over smith only because he opens things up for the rest of the receivers. he is literally the only one that can separation when playing physical elite corners. Yes if you look at our record without Tyron i see why he has the most votes and I wont argue too hard against it but I think if Tyron played Sunday we still lose he would have gotten ***** slapped as well. If cooper plays there is a shot. JMO

Smith affects every aspect of football on this team. Without him the O is awful and can't stay on the field, meaning the D spends far too much time on the field to be impactful

Tyron. He sets up the run game. If we run effectively the offense is unstoppable.

Cooper. He can run all the routes. Gets separation on quick ones so Dak can get rid of ball earlier, goes over the middle and makes contested catches but also need to respect his deep game.
His presence opens up the offense for run game and for other targets to get mis matches in single coverage.

T. Smith- I wish I could remember who showed the stat indicating our record when we are with and without. It wasn't even close. He is a game changer when he run-blocks and then has to protect our QB. Yes we won without him but if you look at the historical data then you realize. Probably true for most teams.

The better question is how did Osa make the list?

Parsons is not on the list but without him the Cowboys defense would be like the 2020 defense.
Football is a team sport. It is impossible to pick just one guy. Obviously Tyron is important. So is Cooper, Dak, Zack Martin, Parsons, or Gregory.

Well Smith is...but only because CeeDee is behind Coop and Steele is behind Smith. IF your going to miss 2 of the before amentioned players...I want Coop in the game as he can get seperation from the D with Wilson and Brown manning the WR core..well Smith can only block one guy and they should be bringing the house knowing those 2 can not get seperation.

Cooper missed the Jets game in 2019. He started but exited with injury in the first quarter I believe. Dak was also not just missing Smith that day but Collins. And Gallup. You take away 2 tackles and the top 2 receiving threats QB's not named Aaron Rodgers are going to struggle.
TYRON SMITH
