Offensive Line Play vs GB

[McKDaddy]

• What the H is going on with Tyler Smith?? Penalties & not so great play.
• Was Hoff our best overall lineman last night?
• Nice work by Bass. He & Hoff have been very solid when needed for several years.
• Liked what I saw from Thomas.
• It sure is nice to see a line creating running lanes. Been too long since we've seen that consistently.

I too am worried about Smith; he has regressed two years in a row after his second team All Pro year 2.

I think Bass and Hoffman may be examples of why it’s not necessary to use the 13th overall pick on a guard.

Smith is just fine and is way far our best lineman.

If nothing else, last night proved that Hoffman and Bass are more than capable backups, and interior OL is arguably the deepest position on the team.

Yea. I am torn. I think Booker is going to be awesome, but he was a pick at a position that was already solid. Having a premium player on defense would be big right now.

 

[DoctorChicken]

It proves to me that you can spend first round picks on positions other than OL.

I think Booker will be a good player, but I was rooting for Tyler Warren, Jahdae Barron or Derrick Harmon at that pick, and all of those guys would be having a bigger impact on this team right now.

While I agree in theory he is the best OL on the team, he had 3 penalties lsst night and hasnt had a great season so far. If you believe in PFF he has had some poor grades so far and I bet last night will be too. But my eyes tell me he hasnt been great to this point 2025.

If there had been another player that I thought was a better player than Booker available, then I would totally agree. But the way the draft played out, I think they took the safest guy & I think he's going to have a really good career.

Don't worry because next game it'll be them!

Warren is doing very well but I don't know that I would have spent the 13th pick on TE. The other two guys haven't yet shown themselves to be better choices than Booker.

Penalties are one thing, but I believe he is the most consistent out of all the starters.

Tyler Smith literally saved the game in the 4th quarter when Guyton got burned and Tyler dove to hit the DE who almost stripped the ball from Dak.

This team has the #1 offense in the NFL, the interior of the line is gashing good defenses and people are nitpicking about a few penalties and PFF grades.

You have see him getting beat though right? In other games as well as early last night. I didn't notice as much later so maybe he got focused.

Yeah, no kidding.

This OL is strong and kicks ***.

 

[ConceptCoop]

Guyton is just bad. We need to move on next year.

I think he might be playing a little banged up, remember he missed time due to a knee injury in camp.

The Cowboys finally have good coaches for the offensive line instead of buddies of Jerry and Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys better not draft a premium offensive lineman in the first few rounds for at least the next two drafts.

Where DAL drafted, I think Emeka and Warren would have been game changers on offense. If they had traded down, and only mentioning 1st rnders, JSimmons and JCampbell were steals that are both doing very well for their respective teams.

Nobody likes Steele but he is a very good run blocker
In general they had an excellent game against a tough opponent
