Meet the Cowboys new massive offensive line

[gtb1943]

No, not really. Moving them to their college positions where they were more comfortable and productive.

Tyler smith is a much better guard then he ever will be a tackle
so your claim as usual is without cred

 

[gtb1943]

Agreed. Common sense. Something this ownership and coaching staff hopefully finds.

I remember when people were upset in the 90s when Larry Allen was moved from his 2nd-4th year, 3 straight Pro Bowls pick, Right Guard position to various other positions over his career...

Larry Allen's position with the Dallas Cowboys evolved throughout his 12 seasons. He started as a right tackle in 1994, then moved to right guard from 1995-1997. He played left tackle from 1998-99 and left guard from 1999-2003. He then moved back to tackle and played his final seasons at left guard.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1994: Right Tackle
1995-1997: Right Guard
1998: Left Tackle
1999-2003: Left Guard
2004-2005: Left Tackle
2006: Left Guard

The change of positions did not stop Larry Allen from earning 11 Pro Bowl nominations at 3 different positions throughout his 14 year career. That's because Larry Allen was short (6'3") with shorter arms while playing Right Tackle (rookie year) and Left Tackle (5th year: Pro Bowl nomination).

Tyler Smith is much taller (6'6") and has much longer arms than Larry Allen had. Plus, Tyler Smith played Left Tackle in college, so what is the problem with moving him back to LT in order to plug rookie Tyler Booker at one of the Guard positions and yield our best front 5 to start across our Oline?

His last few seasons LA did not have the movement to really be all that.
Bottom line that you refused to face is that he was ALWAYS A BETTER GUARD THAN A TACKLE.
There was a reason he was a guard more than the other positions.
OF his SIX ALL PRO SEAONS FIVE OF THEM WERE AT GUARD

Yes, because of his lack of height (6'3") to be a legit Tackle. If Larry Allen had been 2-3 inches taller, he would have more than likely remained a Tackle.

Exactly and I am sure the Running game Guru / New Head Coach is aware of this

Time will tell if the New Coach will be handed the Reigns

 

[McCarthyMustGo]

Offensive line has nothing to do with poor QB play and more holes than Swiss cheese on the run defense. Add in Fat Head McCarthy and his incompetence to boot.

A 7-10 offensive line that added a rookie.

Awesome

 

[JoeKing]

And where is Mike McCarthy now? Fired and watching from home while rattling his mouth on social media.

That has nothing to do with our disagreement. Mike's contract expired, he wasn't fired. They just couldn't agree on the next contract. Jerry made him an offer to stay.

 

[EPL0c0]

Only if Guyton and Steele up their game considerably. If they don't, the OT spots will have to be reworked.

I was hoping for Banks at LT and sliding Guyton to RT to compete with Steele and Hoffman at LG

Booker's a mauler, so I'll take him at RG and figure out what to do with RT

 

[America's Cowboy]

Fired! Shown the door! Gone! Adios!

 

[MapleLeaf]

Agree. I believe the ship is getting righted. Back on course. The pick last night was actually encouraging.

Considering what Zack Martin trotted out last year it's a pretty low bar. He was far from his Pro-Bowl self. How far? He decided to retire.

We don't know what our new rookie will be like, but could it be any worse than what happened with Martin in 2024?

Let's open up the RG position and have everyone compete.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

And now we added Corn Dog from Oregon.

 

[JoeKing]

Fired! Shown the door! Gone! Adios!

Walked away! I bet you think Jerry fired Jimmy too. Nope, he walked away, just like Big Mike.

Whatever makes you feel better, but everyone knows he was terminated.

You sure do like to play with semantics, thinking it makes you sound smart, but it has the opposite effect.

 

[DuncanIso]

I like it
Get 1 group fixed

If Guyton cant step up
Can move Tylers as needed
Bass/ hoffman at LG

They won’t move Tyler.

 

[DuncanIso]

He insulted Jerry at the party.

 

[Zekeats]

Awesome.

Coulda been 5-12 but we didn’t have Dak the entire season

 

[gtb1943]

He insulted Jerry at the party.

and Jethro then made the comment about five hundred coaches could wina SB with that lineup then went to prove that by hiring Barry.

 

[Sandyf]

Going to nice to see a lot of these negative comments eat their words at the end of the year.
