Lets give Tyler Smith his due

Cowboys draft good linemen

 

[ThatJerryKid]

But the picked sucked. Remember, you guys said so.

..and keep him at LT.

..and keep him at LT.

Him and Connor seem to be developing a nice cohesion

 

[Nova]

Last night he was moving with a rare combination of fluidity and violence.

I'm not saying he's a HOF'er, but Joe Thomas is the other guy I can remember moving that smoothly and dishing out that much punishment

 

[Ren]

Should have never moved him from LT once Peters went out and we got back to the OL we’ve played with most if the season with Smith replacing Steele at RT our offense just worked again

 

[cowboyec]

offensive rookie of the year.

 

[RodeoJake]

The young man has improved by leaps and bounds over the player I saw play for Tulsa. In the few college games I watched, he wasn't satisfied just blocking his man. He wanted to destroy them. He had some of that attitude earlier in the season, but has learned to temper it.

 

[JJHLH1]

Lots of well-deserved love from the announcers last night.

Great pick who has had a huge impact as a rookie.

 

[TheCritic]

I don't think I've ever seen a rookie bounce between LT and LG and handle it as well as he did this season! That experience playing both positions will pay huge dividends going forward.

 

[Stash]

In my opinion, this young man saved the Cowboys season. An incredible performance for a rookie and an outstanding job of scouting and drafting.

 

[exciter]

For all the teeth gnashing, shrill screaming, vigorous stomping of wittle feet and record breaking “Jerry’s a dumb **” he’s kinda turned into an OK and serviceable pick!

 

[big dog cowboy]

offensive rookie of the year.

He deserves a ton of consideration for that award.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

He has been huge for this team. The fact he has been asked to play guard and tackle, oftentimes in the same game, and still managed to put together some really good performances is remarkable. I've never seen a rookie manage that situation successfully.

Give this guy another year or two to develop and he could be one of the best offensive linemen in the league.

 

[NotForLong]

But the picked sucked. Remember, you guys said so.

Oh damn I thought it was you who said it . . . No?

 

[Dallasfann]

This board was SO mad at the pick. Cowboys are the best drafting team in the entire league. I'll be sure to remind everyone here once again in April when we are pissing and moaning over the 32nd selection.

 

[SackMaster]

The middle of the OLine seemed to worked better together when McGovern returned to LG after the Peters injury. And of course, Tyler Smith more than did his job as the LT.

IMO, Tyler should continue to be the LT regardless if Peters can come back or not. I understood why Tyler was moved inside when Biadasz went down and we moved McGovern to C for a game and a half. But once we had Biadasz back, we should have went back to the OLine we had that by-and-large was excellent the entire season.

I like Peters as the backup swing tackle, but do not like him as a starter. Espeically considering the interior group of McGovern-Biadasz-Martin seem more than capable of playing at a high level.

JMHO

Incorrect. I loved the pick. Check the threads.
