News: Tulsa HC Talks Penalties, Portal & More On T. Smith

Hardline · May 2, 2022

FRISCO, Texas — Tulsa head coach Philip Montgomery is biased, and doesn't try to hide it.

Watching one of his best players from last season get drafted in the first round by the Cowboys was a great moment for him personally, along with the school, which produced its first first-round pick in 37 years.

So when the narrative on Tyler Smith pivots from being drafted in the first round to the excessive holding penalties he endured last year, Montgomery is quick to defend his player. In fact, the head coach said Smith's brute strength is what leads to many of those penalties.

915 snaps and 12 penalties. That's not bad actually.

Noteworthy stuff. Everyone should read.

Penalties seem to be the number one topic that’s coming up with Tyler Smith.

That sounds a lot like what happens to Tyron, he manhandles people and the flags come out...

The more I read about this kid, the more I get excited. Somebody compared him to Erik Williams, he does remind me a lot of the same stuff he brought to the team. Good and the bad.

I was giving him the benefit, because officiating may have not been that good.

As long as he doesn't start racking up felonies, we're good.

Plus they played two different positions. Guards can hide in the pile sometimes. Tackles are out in the open.

I don't expect penalties to be a big issue with Smith.

That's a pretty good point.

I wonder how many were actually a penalty vs it being called that way because he blew the guy up.

That shouldn't happen in the NFL at guard.

The best thing for this kid is to move him inside. Give him every opportunity at LG.

I have loads of confidence in Smith. He was driving opponents around like they were wheel barrels at a lower level Im sure he can push pros a couple of feet.

Knotamus · May 2, 2022

I’m not worried ab Tyler Smith’s penalties..

Not every flag is the same. CWilliams was being flagged bc of holding and being over powered by opponents. Basically, it was a penalty of desperation

The difference: Smith was being flagged for “holding” bc he was too aggressive and driving opponents into the ground. There’s a big distinction between the two. One can be coached up and avoided, the other can’t. It seems folks can’t see the difference and over reacting like true Cowboys fans. Go Cowboys

DWare would be called offsides a lot because the officials felt know one could be that quick off the line.

It pisses me off every damn time too.

Like Dware being so fast off the snap he must be off sides.

Williams is about once every 63 snaps.
Smith is once every 76 snaps.

Williams was overpowered and couldn’t do anything else. Smith’s was more technique, which can be fixed. Smith will be an upgrade at LG from day one.

darthseinfeld · May 2, 2022

Im more worried about his technique getting him beat than penalties

GMO415 · May 2, 2022

I don't even fall for the TC hype, I'm damn sure not falling for this small college program crap. Let's see what happens when he goes-up-against grown men with (wives, children and their side pieces to pay for) have a say in how tough he is......
