A positive Tyler Guyton thread

Can we pull this off?

He just needed some time and to get healthy.

Both of those happening now and we can seethe results.

The young offensive linemen are the key to our future. I would bench Steele after the bye week and have Thomas play right tackle for the rest of the season. We need Steele’s cap space.

Q: "Are the Bonitos big?"


A: They are what's called a trophy fish.

So, yeah, they're pretty big...

Yes, he just needs time, get healthy.

I pulled the plug at 14-3. He was the worst player on the field in the first quarter.

Must have had a decent rest of the game.

He was pretty good on the majority of plays. The issue for Guyton remains that when he gets beat he gets beat really bad. He gave up three pressures that were really bad, rest of the game was pretty positive though. Still a guy that we need to see probably two big steps forward from to be an above average tackle.

Health is wealth (positive post!)

I like Guyton. He is probably a RT in the NFL, but is so young and raw, that he should continue to improve and might be able to stay at LT. But I wouldn't be surprised if they made the switch and he excelled.

I used to love Doritos until I found out about those dyes they use.

I am a Guyton skeptic but this is shaping up to be the perfect season to see what he can be.

I think Thomas may be better.
I know. Probably too small of a sample size yet on Thomas but I wonder what the Riley/Adams duo think of the 2 when comparing them at practice.
And IF they could actually make the decision to start him over Guyton.
Thats the biggest IF.

He's getting better. Taking time, but the progress is noticeable.

I'd still like the other guy in there at one of the tackles.

I agree. Bench Steele for Thomas. Do it for the present and the future.

I would agree with you. Tough to say because weve seen such a limited amount of Thomas, however I was pretty impressed with his start a few weeks ago. A lot of the same issues we see from Guyton, but one was making his 1st start, the other is halfway though season 2. I'd be very interested to see if Thomas could get better and better as more tape gets out on him.

 

[mardwin]

I still feel he shouldn't have been drafted in round 1.

Yep, same here.

 

[HungryLion]

He still has a ways to go. But he is improving.

So there’s no reason to pull the plug anytime soon.

If his presence on the field was like costing the team a chance to get to the playoffs. I might feel differently. But guytons play at this point isn’t the difference in win/losing.

 

[Aven8]

He’s actually a beast of a human being. We might just have to live with the boneheaded penalties however like we did with Flozell, Tyron, etc

 

[CT Dal Fan]

It's taking time, because he is so inexperienced going back to college.

But Guyton is getting better. The traits to be a long term answer at LT were always there and it's starting to translate.

Now if only we could convince the staff to start Nate Thomas over Steele at RT......
