Twitter: Bob Sturm:Cam Erving is a good swing tackle until he has to play

[Kaiser]

Isn't the definition of "Swing Tackle" a guy that you don't want starting?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Started 8 games at LT last year for the Super Bowl champions...

That doesn’t speak to his individual play.

The Chiefs thought so much of his Super Bowl contribution they declined his option and let him hit the streets.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

But he won a Super Bowl, right @xwalker ?

Edit: sorry didn't see you already made that same silly comment in this thread lmao

 

[Jarntt]

The team made it to the Super Bowl...

That's the definition of good enough.

That doesn’t make sense. Especially since he didn’t Even play in the playoffs, did he.

Do you understand the concept of Swing Tackle or backup?

Basing this on what? Your comment alluded to him being good enough because his team made the SB. That’s dumb. He wasn’t good last year

xwalker is now pivoting. Kaiser is still trying to figure out what a swing tackle is.

BTW, Damien Wilson led the Chiefs defense to the Super Bowl.

Naw, the definition of a strong swing tackle is one you feel confident in starting for a stretch of games.

Didn’t our swing tackle last year actually play in a SB? Didn’t make him any better as our swing tackle

Team's don't make it to the Super Bowl with Chaz Green starting 8 games.

How hard is it to understand "good enough".

So better than Chaz Green is you bar. Again it’s a dumb comment

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

A swing tackle can step in and play both LT and RT geniuses.

I'm worried about this OL.

Except Sturm is a respected sportswriter locally and nationally. Sturm knows his stats. Sturm is pretty spot on most of the time, but for us Cowboys fans, the truth hurts. Why does Stephen A harass Cowboys fans? Because Jerry deserves all the flack he gets and so do us fans. Winning changes everything and is the only cure for this. Dont hate Sturm or Stephen A just because they cite facts.

it was a joke.
Yes I like Sturm and respect his opinions.
He usual can back up what he says. However, it doesn’t make him always correct either.

you are actually defending SAS?, Man that is a first.
He is nothing but a blowhard who does not have any facts. He is like the blow hard drunk in a bar. Because he overtalks you and thinks he is right he as he is louder than you. Being loud usually means you are wrong. And yes we have those on here as well.

If Cam Erving is as shaky as Bob Sturm leads us to believe, I'd just as soon see Brandon Knight fill in for Collier in his absence. Let's hope Mike McCarthy and crew knows who to trust to get the job done in this instance. Otherwise, bad things might easily ensue. Leave it to our FO to drop the ball on our swing tackle. Hopefully, a proper decision will be forthcoming. We have a staff that should know who to trust and who not to. If not, we're in trouble.

Not with Chaz Green...

Test coming for new HC.

And how many of those does the league have?

 

[Stash]

In other words, he's fine for a series or 2 or even maybe a game. But asking him to play multiple games is asking for trouble. You can't hide him that long (lol).

Byron Bell all over again.

He was competent anywhere but left tackle.

Where did the Cowboys play him?

 

[Jarntt]

With the injury concerns of their starting OTs the Cowboys need to be more concerned with who their swing tackle is than most teams. Seems ours always starts a few games
