I don’t think there’s an in house fix here! If they do attempt it, it doesn’t look very promising!

I'm sorry but that seems like way too much movement to attempt two weeks before the opener. Besides we saw that Steele was less effective at LT last year.
Didn’t say it was smart but they are considering it. They need to just put Tyler at left tackle and hope for the best.

Wynn?

It would matter. Eric Fisher is better than anything we currently have at LT. So is Bulaga. Heck Jason Peters would be a better option than Ball.

yah but any chance of doing anything good is toast.

If I was going to really shift things around (& for the long term it is worth discussing) I would certainly consider Tyler at LT. Regardless of who mans LT, I would shift Z to LG, McG to RG. Put supposedly your best linemen next to your inexperienced LT.

Based on what I have seen I would also replace TB with Farniok .... but that has nothing to do with addressing the injury situation. :)

Of course, I would also plan to use TE or heavy package to give extra support to LT as much as possible.

I actually agree with you. Running the football is the best way to develop a young offensive line. We have the backs and tight ends. Heck Noah Brown is one of the best blocking wide receivers in football. Most importantly we have the defense to back it up.

LT- Tyler Smith
LG- McGovern
C- Biadasz
RG- Martin
RT- Steele

Don't think we have much choice....don't see it any other way. Tyler Smith is a tackle...not a guard anyway. Sucks that he didn't get much time there...but it is what it is. He was going to eventually be there anyway...gonna have to live with some growing pains.

:popcorn:

This makes sense if they're ready to trust the rookie Tyler with Daks life. I happen to think it'll be ball just based on experience. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The only problem with that is we have an offensive coordinator that treats the run game as a second-class citizen.

I would not juggle the entire line just because 1 guy got hurt. Although, I think McGovern is stronger at RG than LG. Steele is not a very good LT. He should stay out at RT. I am also not convinced Biadasz is a better C than Farniok.

I would try Tyler Smith at LT and McGovern at LG. No matter who Dallas puts out there on the left side it is going to be a struggle until they get a quality LT. Maybe Tyler Smith is that guy. If so, let's find out this year so we know what we have to do in the draft next year.
