Depth Chart, where things stand at OT

Those OL will look a lot better in pass protection when they have a running threat the defense has to worry about.
 
What happened to position flex?
you do not move a All PRO to another position he is nowhere near as good unless the roof is falling in
like when they had to move Martin to RT for a while because we were desperate

but only for a while
 
Thats not true at all.
Tyler Smith grades per PFF
22: 73.3
23: 74.4
24: 75

He has improved slightly each season but there is no marked difference in his score from OT to OG. He does rank lower when stacked there because teams out their best OL at LT.
But he was never below average. He was a day 1 immediate starter graded player. 25 of 81 players at OT.

Compare that to Guyton who is 49.4 and Steel who was 67.

Dallas cannot allow play at LT like Guyton deployed last year ever again. No team overcomes that, and Dak is no longer immune to injury.
second team all pro at guard says a lot more than anything else

Sure, then he didn't make it last year even though he was arguably better.
OGs are a lot easier to find than LTs.
Thus the drafting of Booker this year even though they desperately needed an LT.
.
I was right there with this opinion last year, but you know the interior OL will be fine without Tyler Smith.
LT is a complete hole. I'm fine giving Guyton a shot but that's got to be a very short leash, and we have nothing else there.

If you don't have an LT you don't have an OL.

He is strongly trainable with current staff and physically very talented. My money is on the man!

I hope you are correct.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt last year after utterly terrible college blocking grades.
Then he was abysmal.
AFAIK, he is no longer working with Duke either.

He is super athletic; but I wonder if moving him inside makes more sense. Build him into a pulling OG.
 
Guyton can make a leap or become more of a bust. We will have to wait and see.

As for Steele. I dont have hope that he turns it around. He was always bad in Pass Pro to begin with.
Steele did show considerable improvement as the season progressed.



I think a change from Solari as offensive line coach will be a good thing for him.
