Yes Micah is a friggin beast..ELITE. But drum roll......SO IS LEFT TACKLE Tyler Smith. This kid is already elite. We don't win 6 games without him so far. He was quiet yesterday because he mauled his guy all day and not 1 penalty on him. Kid is a steal in rd 1, MAYBE of the entire draft. He makes guys look silly. Kudos to Will McClay once again saving our bacon.

Tyler has been terrific for a raw rookie stepping into a position he wasn't playing in preseason. Just terrific. He's not playing like one of the elite tackles in the league. Not yet.

What's he not doing that the elite LTs are?

7 penalties and 4 sacks allowed on less than 500 snaps...... (Not trying to be snarky, he's doing great but those 2 things alone are far from elite). Just to put that into perspective, 2019 tyron (back when everyone was crying that "he's washed up" and "is becoming a penalty machine") had 1 sacked allowed and 8 penalties on almost 900 snaps

Yeah, he’s played great, but…

No. It’s Micah.
Micah we can win without short term but not a stud left tackle. Luv Micah though. My GAWD he's good. Teams that lack a good left tackle can't win. After Tyron went down, had we not drafted this kid, we were SCREWED. Thats why he is my MVP.

Honestly curious if the majority of that came in his first few games versus last few? Just trying to get an idea of whether it was some initial growing pain or if it's been more of a consistent thing, because haven't really heard his name much in past few games. Think I remember him giving up 2 of those sacks to AD and well...1:1 AD makes All Pros look stupid on any given play.

without a great LT in this league you wont win much. When Tyron went down he was threw into the fire and has been near elite. Micah is an alpha dog and the team leader, but right now if this kid went down, we will have 40 year old Jason peters left to start there. Its a good debate. We have 2 outstanding players...generational ,WE are blessed.
