When Tyron Smith is playing, he's still has elite numbers. Last year he only allowed 2 sacks and 10 pressures in 416 pass attempts, #1 pressure rate in the league. He ranked #2 overall at left tackle while missing 5 games with a sprained ankle.

Left Tackle Pressure Rate
Tyron Smith 1.8%
Trent Williams 2.9%
Rashawn Slater 3.6%
Jordan Mailata 4.1 %

We all know Zach Martin is the best on the interior, link is below.

while he is prone to nagging injuries and isn't at the same level he was maybe 4 years ago, his demise is greatly exaggerated imo. those wanting to cut him at his current salary are crazy imo. he's on a bargain contract when he's playing healthy.

When he is playing healthy!
Was he healthy in the playoff game vs the Whiners?

Tyron was an ankle injury away from an All-Pro season. Maybe without Connor being bullrushed into him 12 times a game, he'll go 15-17 games this year.

Actually it was Tony Pollard being thrown into his ankle that cot him 5 full games and several others at less than full strength. I do worry that Tyler being a rook he's going to have moments where he gets overpowered too.. just because he has been accustomed to being able to manhandle most of his opponents his whole life and now in the NFL he's going to need to fine tune his technique and I don't think that happens overnight. Still I think it will happen less frequently than it did to Williams just because this kid is just a bigger stronger human being.
