To me I would just leave Tyler Smith at LT, get Peters snaps at LG and rotate in Farniok who's coming back. I think it's easier to mask LG play.

Cowboys also need need to mix up their run selection. We run left most of the time and I would think running behind Martin and Tyron seems like a good place to run more frequently.

Can someone explain to me why they moved Tyler to LG and put Peters in at LT just because the C got hurt? I somehow missed a reasonable explanation as to why you’d shake up the entire left side of the line because the guy in the middle went down.

Well Connor is the backup center so he has to move from LG to C.

LG is now either Peters or Tyler and I am assuming they think Peters is a better LT than LG.

So Peters goes to LT and Tyler has to slide over to cover the LG spot vacated by Connor moving to C.

My main concern is if 40 yr old Peters can last an entire playoff game at LT if the injury is as bad as it looked on TV.

this is the best lineup imho. been wanting Peters at LT and Tyler at Guard. Tyler will be elite at guard now and elite at LT in the future.

Maybe so, however, this has just dramatically increased the number of Ball's snaps and we're one knock from him starting.

Up thread someone said we’re paper thin exactly right. You can never have too many offensive lineman.

Many talked smack on our center until he was hurt. Guess we will find out.
I mean this typically is how it is. LVE is ehhh until he gets hurt now we can't stop the run because of him lol. Anthony Brown sucks....until he's gone and now he's not nearly as bad as we thought. Jourdan Lewis, Tyler B, etc.
What fans don't understand is that this team went through a whole training camp and preseason and they determined these were their best players. They will be missed.

I’m surprised we do t run more to the right.

Because Zach & Tyron aren't getting much push in the running game.

Most of our runs have been going to the left and certainly most of the big runs have come to the left. Certainly since Steele went down.

Last night we couldn't get clean blocking anywhere for the most part. If a hole was being opened, penetration from somewhere else got to the RB before he could get there.

Why not put Tyron back to LT and Peters at RT?
