Machota: No more competition at LT

[kskboys]

Was there any real competition to begin with?

You beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless he got hurt again, Guyton was always going to pull away. Only other OL on the roster who can play OLT is Shelton, and he's at least a year away.

Guytons footwork and athleticism are elite. He just needed reps at left tackle.

 

[BigD_95]

Other words are desperate that Guyton will work out

 

[Kwyn]

He's about to get a Terrance Steele deal soon

Nah, not yet.

He’s signed next season on a cheap $3.5m deal. The team couldn’t replace him at that price if they wanted to.

After that he goes into his fifth year option. That year is pricey. Likely $20m

Guyton has been the LT. BS is giving standard coach BS. Need the back up players competing for roster spots and the swing tackle spot. So give them a bone saying it is still open.

Just most spots on the defense. They will claim open competition. In the case of Dallas, that would probably be true.

Very few positions everyone knows the coaches of all teams can’t bs about.
Like the starting QB.

Not when you're dealing with someone as talented as Tyler Guyton.

Myron Guyton was talented, Tyler not so much......

IMO, he would need an All-Pro type season for them to exercise his 5th year option ( May 2027 deadline)

Put Thomas at RT, cut Steale, and sign a better LB.

 

[Kingofholland]

I think the open competition message was to challenge Guyton. Cowboys probably knew where this would go.

Put Thomas at RT, cut Steale, and sign a better LB.

Sounds like a massive cap hit a'comin'

Incorrect. Guyton is extremely talented. Now whether he can play is a different question.

 

[RonWashington]

Dak saw enough of Thomas at T last year .

 

[Risen Star]

I guess if one guy stays the same and the other guy goes in reverse, that's separation.

You hate that we have a franchise LT.

 

[DuncanIso]

Was there any real competition to begin with?

Yup. Nate is worse than Guyton.

 

[DuncanIso]

Put Thomas at RT, cut Steale, and sign a better LB.

As bad as Steele is, he out grades Guyton and Nate.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Tyler Smith pimping his boy

 

[DarkVader33]

With all the adversity he’s faced and Jerry screwing up taking him too early, if he pans out, he may become one of my favorite players. I love underdogs and he most definitely was despite his draft position.

 

[stilltheguru]

@Reid1boys you were right

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Hopefully our 4th rounder (whom name escapes me) can develop some functional strength and become our swing tackle. Thomas may be able to kick inside.

I don't read anymore into this than when Thomas played LT for a stretch last season, the warts were apparent. I also don't read anymore into it than that hasn't changed in camp. Broaddus said Shelton is having his struggles at LT as expected. So by default and draft position Guyton has the job.
