if steele doesn't show he is recovered from his injury two years ago, he is a liability. he had almost no lateral movement all year. he couldn't go to his left at all and got beat inside consistently.
Don't see it happening.
2 new starters is a challenge, 3 is a nightmare.
What first-round pick wouldn't be playing that much if Guyton starts at left tackle as projected?
I mean it's just a thought, if things weren't going right, maybe we could put Guyton back at his natural spot. It's not that he can't learn to play on the left side but hey!
realize that, yet you have people on here making posts about him possibly being traded or cut I can't remember. Yes he came off an injury, he was brought back possibly too soon
Best 5 are going to play. Seriously doubt anyone takes it away from Steele.
It could be if he's not ready, but I think it also could be Richards. He looked good in the snaps he got, although granted, it was not many. I really think the team wants to keep Smith at guard and try to have a strong interior if Beebe can succeed in his transition to center.
I would be surprised if either happens this year. But ... I did discuss the possibility IF Dallas got to the end of camp and badly needed help at another position AND Richards had played so well at LT that Dallas could afford to keep Guyton at RT. Frankly, I think the Cowboys view Guyton as the future at LT so I don't think that scenario is likely because Richards won't be given the chance to win that job. Another unlikely scenario is that two of the younger guys play so well on the interior that Dallas decides to move Smith back out to LT, play Guyton at RT and trade Steele.
I know. But we don't know that he can. Late round first picks aren't always plug and play left tackles. We got lucky with Tyler Smith. In the same draft at picks 6 and 7 overall were Ikem Ekwonu and Evan Neal, both suck. I'm hoping Guyton can play LT right away, I'm just not counting on it.
Agreed.
Yeah, but they can't dump Steele yet without having a negative cap impact. He's an 11M cap hit and a 19M+ dead cap. And his 2025 salary is also fully guaranteed. He's probably here for 2 more years.
that's the scripted thing they say as Rookies "i'll do what ever they want me to do!" lol
looooool chuma!!!
Good offensive lineman are hard to find and yet want to get rid of one?
Wait….his 2025 is fully guaranteed?
Here it is "Guyton said in his introductory press conference that he feels more natural on the left side, and in talking to his college offensive line coach, the feelings were similar in Norman." That's going beyond just the standard "I'll play wherever they tell me"
First moving on from Steele would be a 19m cap hit. Since we’ve used both our June 1 designations (Zeke, Gallup) that would incur taking a massive hit requiring cutting considerable portions of our depth to get back under the cap!
