Cowboys Record with Tyron Smith Starting Since 2016

[VaqueroTD]

Tyron didn’t start missing games until 2016. Hasn’t had a complete season since 2015.

Cowboys have played 88 games since 2016. Tyron has taken more than 10% of the snaps in 61 of those games which means he’s started in about 70% of the games.

Cowboys record with Tyron Smith >10% snaps…. 40-21, 66% winning pct
Cowboys record with Tyron Smith <10% snaps…. 13-15, 46% winning pct

Going to miss the big man when he retires.

Total team loss today and Dak was missing throws when he had protection, but if I’m in the Coach meetings, the Smith backup plan is one of my first followups. Maybe got a little too ‘cute’ asking Steele to do this? Nsekhe looked do-able. And we all know there is La’el.

Also, don’t let Steele lose all the confidence that he just won back from last year!

Pretty telling what solid blindside protection can do for a team.

 

[reddyuta]

we drafted Ball as his backup but he is on IR,Steele cant play at LT though.

 

[jwooten15]

Nice research, OP. Tyron is still a beast when he’s out there, but the Cowboys definitely need to have a reliable contingency plan because he misses way too much time and we routinely seem to struggle when he does

 

[texbumthelife]

Look at what’s happened to the Chiefs since they lost their franchise LT. I don’t care if he misses half the season, you hold into those guys as long as possible and do everything you can to limit issues.

Appreciate the post OP.
I'm one of the biggest believers in elite LT play and it's importance on this board.

I believe it strongly impacts this whole team's performance.

With that said while trying not to bring up my multiple past posts on the importance of Smith's health, I will just say I hope you are right in your OP here and that the team is able to find an answer.

As your numbers show, I believe this year's team will suffer just as they always have if Smith doesn't play.

Gotta be Collins IMO…. He is a natural lefty and is most comfortable on the left side. Try him there until Tyron can come back— let Steele hold down RT.

On the other hand, dropped passes.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

LT is one of those positions you dump big contracts on because the position is THAT important.

 

[cowboyec]

i'd have collins and steele swap sides.
but what the hell do i know.
i thought we'd beat denver.

Such a game of momentum, you wonder how those key drops or bizarre blocked punt rule would have altered this game?

Normally, I would probably back up my Asst.Coach. Philbin is probably telling McCarthy if you give the kid time, he will get it down. McCarthy even acknowledged in his press conference that the inexperience would be the biggest problem. But damn, this is maybe the second most important position on the team. Need to make a call now because it can derail a season.

Agreed. It seemed like every time something went our way, it was crushed immediately.

I unfortunately, and I mean that sincerely even though we had a terrible day, could not watch the game because I had to unexpectedly goto my office,

Games often hinge on a hand full of plays. That’s not a crazy concept at all. With that said, you mentioned dropped passes.

Can you give me some examples of key drops today? Lamb again? Man, I hate that I missed the game.

Also, could someone just give a brief synopsis of the pressure Dak was under as a result of the OL playing poorly? Was it directly and primarily a function of Steele struggling? Like was the pressure comparable to ATL and Clayborne in “that” game?

Where the heck is McGovern? The guy was good when he played!

 

[RonWashington]

I’ve said this before the Cowboys need an OT in any of the first three rounds next April .

 

[Irvin88_4life]

That's why many wanted Rashawn Slater in the draft.

Can't regret drafting Parsons cause he is a beast but some of us was saying Slater was the best LT in the draft, even over Sewell....... and we were right

Someone mentioned a tweet in a post, sorry I'd hafta lookup as I don't remember which one right now, but 11 pressures and 2 Sacks is what was said regarding Steele today.

Again, secondhand info and all but when I read that my jaw dropped.

Haven't heard of Collins exact numbers yet from the right side but he struggled too.


Hafta check the All 22 to be sure.
