I like it. At least they show some integrity. Go with it and own it. And what about Dak running for his life... Mahomes had to do it at times, so did Burrows... good QBs will find a way.

Just hope won't break under the criticism if it doesn't go well immediately. He needs his time.

With that being said, I also think it's pretty embarrassing for Mike that Jerry's the one to communicate that. Own that too Jerry and do the sidelines yourself lol.

To play off of your post, seeing as how Tyron Smith is out until at least December (at best), what happens in the scenario that Tyler Smith is playing really well at LT when Tyron Smith is able to come back? Does Dallas leave Tyler at starting LT (seeing him as the future) and tell Tyron he needs to play LG or RT?

That would be an interesting debate.
If Tyler is playing really well, you leave him at LT. You know, just like we did with Dak/Romo.

Well, it seems we're about to see what Tyler Smith can do at LT vs. Tampa Bay.

Here's hoping he'll make sure to keep his cool and put his best foot forward. ;)

Morale support, understood Jerry. Here, let the Head Coach and staff have their job. This team of Cowboys will prove very good and hungry as well.

No way they are that reactive. They have to expect some struggle, but seem to have made the decision that they will allow Smith to learn on the job.

I think he has the first couple of weeks. If they see more positives than negatives, then he'll keep the role. If not, we'll put in Peters.

Don't know if McGovern's play affects what we do with Tyler, though. Would the Cowboys directly replace McGovern with Peters if McGovern is playing poorly or would be shift Tyler to guard and put Peters at tackle?

I have a question for Mr Jones . Why didn’t the new LT play one down of it in pre season given 77 recent history .

:huh:

They thought they had time, so they wanted him to get ready at the position that he was supposed to play this year. We expected Tyron to miss some time this year with his injury history, but not necessarily from the beginning of the year. May have been foolish planning, but that was the plan.
