Is this similar to the ole saying...... playing 2/3 RBs means you don't have a real starter? lol

So far at least what i have heard is Tyron has looked good coming in at RT in practice, but I also think these are not rookie OL these are seasoned vets who are more than capable to moving on the OL without missing a beat. Peters had not played RT in many years yet came in last drive and played exceptional in helping the Cowboys win the game. These are not some young pups these guys know what they are doing.

Tyron injury.

If healthy it's an upgrade at RT.

Tyron is a future HoF type player. He played RT his rookie season and in college.

Steele has been good but he is not Tyron Smith.

On the surface that might be true. But he will be rusty, no continuity, and hasnt played the position in a long time. I would rather have Steele for this game. Maybe by game #3 he might be an upgrade. Steele was about as good as it gets at RT this year.

Well Youmans says he said it tongue in cheek. The original tweet didn't say that.

Maybe he was joking. I hope he was.

I’m wondering why everyone else is ignoring that part of the tweet. Without seeing the actual interview it sounds like Mike said “That’s how we’ll do it on Sunday” sarcastically as to not give away the game plan.

If Tyron and Peters rotate, that would be wild. Two future green jackets

An enormous stretch to say Tyron at RT is an upgrade. Especially considering he is coming off an injury, hasn't played all year and hasn't played RT in over a decade. Steele has been our highest grade o-lineman the entire year...he's actually developed into one of the better tackles in the league.

I actually think that threw the entire D for a loop last week. Lovie was sneaky and it almost worked.
I STILL have no idea why the Texans tried so hard to win that game. I'd have had them in the Wildcat all game knowing the top pick was at stake.

They've been rotating OL most of the season with Peters at LG, LT and RT as well as Tyler at LT and LG.

All year is a stretch.

Be more honest, this has only happened in last 3 or so games.
