So you, also, would have all five starting o-line positions filled by someone new.
I’m trying to not get the QB killed. Smith has played LT well before, which is more than Guyton ever has….and speaking of expecting plug and play….didn’t our great FO ask two rookies to switch positions and start last year? And I’m the bad guy? Ok.
the best five ought to be in there.
New? Hoffman has played everywhere but Tackle. Hès played meaningful downs at guard and center. Its hardly a stretch to have him starting at center. Why the resistance to having Hoff in there? The only new guy is the rookie. I am not understanding your logic I guess.
Jerry has nothing to do with it.
You sure? Jerry has admitted he tells his HC what “he’d like to see more of,” meaning…do what I’m telling you to do.

When this Oline comes together and gels Dallas will run the football ,I think we will see a much improved offense this season. Better coaching will do wonders for this football team, and Booker was a great pick at 12 and will fit this unit like a glove .
Guyton is not lazy. Where do you get that from?
No matter, I have full confidence in the new Line coach to get the chemistry right. As long as he says he has the best 5 in there, I'm good with it. Solari on the other hand was dug in on Hoffman and I see why, but it was to a fault. I thought CB should have been our LG day 1.
assuming his work with steele and how it affected his return
100% agree, brother. I've been saying the same thing since last season.
Because Hoffman could become the better Center. Beebe definitely could become a better Guard which he mastered in college. Same goes for Tyler Smith moving back to Left Tackle which he mastered in college. Guyton was way better playing Right Tackle in college than he was forced to suddenly play Left Tackle last year as a pro.
Our views aren't kindly wanted on this particular topic lol. Because I guess we are in the minority. All I know is this, Hoffman was getting the job done at center, but CB was struggling snapping the ball because it was a new position for him, one he hadn't played since highschool. It's a lot to ask. I felt we were trying to fix something by creating another problem in the process, if that makes sense. I say that because to me, why switch him? We had the need for a guard, so leave the guy there! It's his natural position. Smith had no issue at LT. OH WELL, let's see what our oline coach does.
Reports of him not taking TC and coaching seriously last year and the whole reason he had to re commit to it this year ?
Smith didn’t master tackle in college.
I guess we’ll see what the coaches say.
But out of need, and injury with Tyron Smith , in Tyler's rookie year, was forced into playing LT. HE DID IT MASTERFULLY. He was elite. CB should have never been switched to center. To me, he's an all pro guard. Why tinker with that unless a major injury happens at center? Then I can understand the move. We created a potential problem by doing so, in my opinion.
He's a guard because we drafted Guyton. Which again, we created another problem when we were ok.
All facts, great bullet points. Valid questions. I think it gets sorted out in Oxnard by our new position coach. I trust him.
