Twitter: Jerry optimistic about Tyron Smith

[MyFairLady]

LOL our fearless leader is about the least realistic person on the planet. He was optimistic about Chad Hutchinson and Drew Henson as well.

 

[Sheepherder]

Well that's what Josh Ball is for.

Is Josh dressing out for the games because I haven't seen him?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Best response is ‘He’s hurt. He isn’t practicing or playing right now. Let’s talk about who is playing.’

Quit pretending that Tyron is needed to win. Sends the wrong message to the team overall and especially those playing right now.

Optimistic or not, Tyrion Smith needs to play in the playoffs.

 

[INCowboysFan]

Id probably give him another week given the situation. Play him vs Arizona, then make the decision from there and see where we are.

I'm sure that is the likely plan given that WFT doesn't have Chase young. Looks like Sweat is back this week.

Can always start him and pull him if we get a lead.

Obviously the biggest factor is that you and I have no idea how that ankle actually feels.

They ruled him out vs NY immediately after Wash game.

Just rest him until the playoffs. And go all out. And find his replacement this coming draft and move on. His act is old.

Well that's what Josh Ball is for.

We can hope. Frankly, I feel better about our long-term options at left tackle then maybe I should. Both Ball and moving Collins are options I'd consider.

For the short-term, I thought Nsekhe was OK but had a few struggles against the Giants. I don't remember any major mistakes by Steele when he was out there, but I'd have to go back and look.

Jerry is perpetually optimistic about everything I suspect. Have to give him credit for that.

Even if Tyron can go. Still maybe sit him, and put him in only if needed.
See how they games go before risking him.

Normally I would say, if he can go, play him, like any other player coming off an injury. However, with Tyron, one never knows what that next injury may occur.

Hopefully his next injury occurs as he lifts the Lombardi Trophy after winning the SB this season, as he sprains his finger or something like that.

Don't forget Quincy....can't leave that guy out.

Still on IR.
He is a stash for next season.

 

[xwalker]

If he’s ready, I’d still rest him up

Rest him for the playoffs...

 

[Walker]

Play him for AZ we dont need him for Washington or Eagles. Save him for postseason.

 

[aikemirv]

The only game I would play him the rest of the regular season would be Arizona

At what point do you say "yep, put time to put Tyron in?" Is it right after Steele/Nsekhe wiff on a block and Dak gets blown up on a blindside hit? Right after Zeke gets hit in the backfield for the 5th time in a row? Just curious what you see as the trigger for putting him in depending on how the game goes.

 

[KJJ]

When is Jerry not optimistic about a player? lol

 

[lopey]

If he is healthy he needs to play. This offensive line needs some games together to get that running game going again.

 

[charron]

Tyron needs to miss 1 more game. I'd like to see them at full strength for the last 2 game. Rest Zeke while we are at it and nearly anyone else less than 80%.

 

[Hadenough]

Sit him til the playoffs!!
