Looks like he played the entire game at RT.

Pass protection looked good today for the most part except for that 1 series where we ended up 3rd and 30 with back to back sacks. The first sack was on Tyron. He got beat and Dak had no chance.

The run game was OK today, but the Eagles do have a good run defense.

Did #77 look good?

I haven't noticed an improvement since he returned.

Probably still getting rid of some rust.

Honestly, I think Steele is better. Tyron has to get back in the groove and moving to the right side is taking some getting used too.

For having not played all year, changing positions, being rusty haha...I think Tyron is playing decent.

Not good judging linemen play unless they're getting abused.

The good news is Tyron will get better with time working on his mechanics. One thing that the organization can count on is he will put in the work. The loss of Steele cannot be understated.
Steele is not all that; he is a good RT and nothing more.
Tyron had to make up for a decade of playing LT for all intents and purposes; automatic responses are hard to dial back.

The OL is going through something right now. 6 sacks. Tyron is doing okay but I don't think he is where we want/need him to be yet.

Giving up 6 sacks, a few other close calls like the pass Dak made while in the grasp for example, and the RBs averaging less than 3 yards per carry is not a great performance.

continuity is a huge factor in an O lines performance and that is where we got some problems.

Losing Steele hurt. His injury keeps Dallas from replacing the weakest link on the OL (LG C.McGovern) with a probable major upgrade (Tyler Smith).

I think Tyler Smith may be hitting the wall at LT too. Wouldn't mind putting Jason Peters at LT and Tyler at LG. The Steele injury came at a horrible time.

I think he had one sack from his side.

I am just happy Tyron did not get injured. I am this close to being in favor of shutting him down before the playoffs but he needs the reps. Tyron has been Steele level at right tackle.

He is out of position and rusty. Throw in the"Do I trust the hammy"? and there you have it.

I don't like him at RT. Not because of how he's played but I don't know if I want that guy across from guys like Hassan Reddick and other speed rushers. Especially while he's trying to get back into game shape.

He looks a bit slow and stiff. However he is not totally healthy and certainly is rusty. PS. They lead the league in sacks. All 4 D line man will have 10 plus sacks. Part of that is the other teams have been behind and had to pass the ball. I think they and San Fran have the best D lines in the NFC. We are number 3.

Comments like that are why I think Steele wins ‘Most Underrated Player’ on our team. And we got him with a garbage draft pick, absolute bargain!

I think he has replaced Donovan Wilson, who is finally getting his due, as the new underrated benchmark.
