If Tyron can stay healthy 75% of the time he and Tyler could form a solid left side to run the ball.
Now there is a competition I would love to see, the O-line left side competing with the O-line right side to see which is more .dominating in run blocking.

Yeah...but is it "blocking" or "grabbing & holding" being committed by Tyler Smith?
NFL referees want to know...

Just needs to learn the proper technique.

& we better pray that he doesn't let the "just relax & collect checks" attitude get to him.
A player who is a beast on the field and enforces that throughout the team is one of the few hopes we have for turning this organization around.

more lie Forum Drools..dont be peer pressured feel what you want. Truly the player and coaches have birds eye view and ill take their feedback over debbie downer fans anytime..I w
I want to get excited about this but forum rules prohibit any OTA excitement, I must wait until the pads go on
In any case this is good news and I'm glad to hear it, looking forward to seeing the young man grow into a dominant offensive lineman

Honestly, I think this will be his biggest challenge as a rookie........there's a thin line between blocking and holding but there's also a thin line of what referees will allow and even thinner what they will allow a rookie to get away with. Finding a balance from the pass rushers he will face to the type of referees calling his game may take a while for him to adjust.

Once he learns leverage, hand usage and footwork, he will be tough to beat.

I think so too
I think he could be a real stud at guard right now and could be a really good LT when he develops
I hope we can get one of the other young guys to develop also
Waletzko is a guy I kinda think may have a chance

"Everything is awful. We can't win. There's no chance....but, uh...I'm excited for the next game."
Obviously I'm generalizing and mostly joking there, but its important to understand the difference between those that are here to start trouble and piss vinegar vs those that are here to have somewhat intelligent discussion as to the state of the team, not all of which is a rose bouquet.

It's not like fans haven't heard this before. In fact, we hear it all the time and it happens with every team. They are all expected to sell the excitement of an upcoming season because the owners expect that.
Wouldn't be the first time they talk about what happened in the OTA, at camp or practice and that does not become evident in the real games against better competition.
Any player negative on his team or any of his teammates at this point needs to find other work.
The challenge of Cowboys fans is this team revolves around the spins and the owner trying to fill half empty glasses so anything that might be righteously positive is suspect.
Everything about this team is wait and see regardless of which side a fan is on now.

He's likely not a LT. Right now. And he's not likely ready for the NFL level pass rush with pads on right now.
What we said was that his technique was raw at LT. But that it was polished enough to play guard right now, because you play in space. And that's where some of his weaknesses can be seen, when he's in space.
He has the potential to develop into a nice LT, though.

My point is that everyone was writing him off as a possible starter WITHOUT even seeing him in OTAs, training camp, and preseason.
We never know who we drafted and some college players transition from college to NFL better than others. He could possibly be one of those players.
Not a single member here was even open to the idea which just goes to show how close minded this forum can be.
