He was top 5 in the league at RT, he is bottom 5 in the league at LT. He played RT in college. Everyone assumed he could make the transition due to his athleticism but it has been a flop, move him back to RT. Free is better at LT, Smith is better at RT. This should be a no-brainer move for the team to make.

Smith was DOMINANT as a RT.
 
Yeah, let's make major changes after two games and being 1-1 esp since Free did so well last year at LT. What are they thinking?!
 
He has played terrible. But you can't switch back after just 2 games, unless he is doing just as bad day in/day out in practice and showing no improvement.

He's atrocious at RT and Smith has been equally atrocious at LT. I'll take the best RT in the league and draft another LT next year. This instantly makes us a better team, if Free still sucks at LT atleast Smith will be dominant at RT.
 
I think you have to give Smith the rest of the year before making a decision on whether he can or cannot play left tackle. You just can't start moving pieces around just because of a little adversity. As for Free, he is a career backup at best.

Well... Smith so far is ranked at about 61/67 of all the LT's in the league. He was top 5 at RT.

He's 21 and playing LT for the first time in years, give the kid a chance. Jeez
 
Yeah, lets take our best tackle and move him back to right tackle and take our second best tackle and move him to left tackle.

Yeah, that makes sense. :facepalm:
 
Disagree completely. It's way too early to make a change. If they're still sucking in a few games then you make the change.

Guess someone likes madden. They are just interchangeable right, LT and RT? Someone proves to be dominant at RT just means they are the better LT aswell, correct? :laugh2:

He has also played two very good defensive lines.

You guys must be cliff jumpers. Every 30 seconds, you guys want to jump off a cliff with your Cowboys opinions.
 
Good idea. That would just be awesome for Tyron's confidence and development.

Smith is without question capable of playing left tackle. He isn't a slow large road grader that usually would play right tackle. He has the ability, size, speed, and strength to play both.

Throughout college he played RT. Last season he played RT. What works works, sometimes there is no logical explanation for things. If he is better at RT let him be a RT, and right now I am willing to bet he is better at RT.

That is something to address in the offseason, but not at this point. Maybe there is a stud LT in the draft we can get, then you discuss moving Smith back to RT.

The way he is playing right now it's not an option to keep that going for the rest of the season. Maybe it'll take a week or two and he will get it going, but if not this experiment gets an F.

Smith is what 21 years old? If it takes him a season or 2 to adjust to LT so he can dominate for a decade I say ride it out.
