A suprising weakness for the Cowboys

I rewatched the Jags game, and was surprised how much Tyron and Jason Peters struggled at right tackle. It was a real problem for the Cowboys, pretty much all game. There were even a few times that Tyron completely whiffed on his block, and the defender went right past him.

All the footwork is backwards for Tyron, and if it really is that difficult for him on the right side, you'd almost consider swapping Tyler and Tyron, risking the cohesiveness of the O-line altogether.

If Tyron does another week of practice on the right side, it could be exponentially better, and so I'm looking forward to seeing what this week looks like. He might get the hang of it, unless coaches become convinced that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

What would you do, if you were the O-line coach?

I like the idea of….

Tyron…Tyler….Biadasz….McGovern…Martin

I don’t expect they will do that, but if you’re asking what I’d do…

Give it a little time. He's a pro and can handle it....what would you do?

The Cowboys scored 34 points in the game vs. the Jags. The offense (or RT position) was not the problem. If the defense can't fix what ails them, the playoffs will be a quick one and done.

Nonsense.

From everything I have read I thought the right side was solid against the Jags. Even Dak said this week he didn't feel any pressure from Tyron's side.

It all starts up front.

We lost vs San Francisco in the playoffs because we were beaten up in the trenches, on both sides of the ball.

I just watched it instead of reading about it, saw mostly solid plays, but a few really bad ones. I suppose my surprise was that I expected a lock down on the right side... too high of expectations?

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if a change like that would bring back the great wall of Dallas.

Easy does it. He and Peters are too good (still) to not pick it up.

A surprising weakness for the Cowboys...Micah Parsons at LB. He's a very good pass rusher, but he's not a very good LB.
Ironically, (I presume that you're being ironic as well) I think Micah could be a good fix at the MLB position, in place of Vander Esch. Sincerely. As a good pass rusher, it's harder to account for him if he rotates positions throughout the defense. Here's to hoping that Dallas does that when the playoffs kick in.

He did play RT in College and his first Cowboy season.
Hopefully it will come back to him.
