News: CW: Cowboys' Zack Martin on rookie Tyler Smith learning dual OL roles: 'It'll be good for him'

gimmesix said:

I don't care about value right now. I care about Tyler being able to play one OL role (left guard) really, really well. I know we want him to be ready to step in for Tyron when he misses time, but our first concern should be him excelling at his primary job.

I’m not a fan of teaching a guy a new position that he hasn’t played since high school while teaching him to play tackle in the nfl
But hopefully he can get both down solid
Not the approach I would have taken. I would have spent this camp learning guard and started working on tackle next camp
Martin though is smarter than me so I go with him lol

I personally, am not worried about Tyler. He’s already demonstrated his strength and for OL’man.. the pads only make it easier to control players.

Tyler will surprise some, but I have high expectations for this young kid. He’s a strong dude and will make an immediate impact. Book it.

Light turns blue, not the sky and water only makes things wet.

Actually, some light is blue (not turns blue) since sunlight is made up of all colors of the rainbow. The blue light moves in smaller and shorter waves so it's scattered more by particles and molecules in the atmosphere than the other colors, making us see blue in the sky much more than the other colors normally.

You started it ...

As long us he is not thrown back into the lap of QB like (CW was ) it will be a win, CW had to hold so many times as he was completely beat. If Tyler can stand up the DTs it will help the run game too.

Well, I asked my friend Google. He usually gets things very right or terribly wrong.

As your friend Google...if all of the other colors are being filtered out and only blue shines through, then why doesn't the white house across the street from me look blue-ish? If blue light makes the sky blue should it make white things blue-ish.

@Runwildboys will tell....I can come up with some crazy questions and some cockamamie explanations in the drop of a hat. Someone has to keep things interesting around here.

Believe it has to do with reflecting the light. The colors mix, making us see white, the more the light is reflected and scattered. But Google doesn't seem to have a direct response to why is the White House white, at least not in regard to sunlight, and my own personal knowledge extends more to English than science. He can tell you why the White House is white in regard to history, though.
