Mosher thinks a 40 year old should be our starting left tackle moving forward? Why?
You have about 28k likes already, don't be a like hoarder like @Risen Star.Just make me a priority !
Will be interesting to see where Tyron belongs when healthy.If Tyron Smith is planned to be LT I’d rather have Tyler Smith have time to acclimate to LG.
You could laugh at everyone's likes in this house, don't call out John for more likes.I laugh at your likes total, John.

Just keep bringing relevance to this forum and your likes will come naturally.
He is 40, close enough , LOL49?
Lol
He old
Tyron I still think aint playing in 2022. Thats just a Jerry wet dream. He may be on the 53 and suited up soon, but I think he will be a depth guy, not a starter. Emergency only. I wouldn't risk the mans career anymore than needed.
I remember Jimmy Johnson talking about the first (1992) Super Bowl against Buffalo and people saying how potent Buffalo’s no-huddle offense was and how they tired out defenses, and he just said he would platoon in 4 different DL every time they had a normal break in the action. Commercial breaks, etc. would see 4DL in and 4 DL out. They were always fresh and the Buffalo Bills OL got worn down. It was brutal.If we recall, Jimmy used to rotate defensive linemen in and out. One of the single most reasons the Dallas defensive front was so potent during the 92-95 heyday could be attributed to the line staying fresh because they were not playing as much as other teams starters. Not much drop off when an individual was given a breather.
The offensive line may be different. Their tandem workload might prevent this type of rotation during games. But to my way of thinking, if you have four guys, three of them able to play tackle, and three play guard, this might be a key to keeping people healthy and making a real run with an offensive line just beating down the defenses they will see.
A blurb earlier this week spoke about Tyron working a bit at guard. We know Peters has played guard at some point since arriving here. McGovern obviously is a guard, and T Smith the rookie has played both inside and outside.
It just occurs, team wide, health is gelling for this team. On both sides of the ball. If the chemistry issue can be overcome by spelling linemen, this could be a road to success.
Dak can play this game if the pocket is clean. With the addition of 34 as a third running back, and Pollard and Elliott thriving. And perhaps an addition of a WR whose name should never be mentioned. I am just extremely excited about the possibilities of closing out November strong and a serious December run.
Its hard to get & keep a group in sync. Be very careful about messing with chemistry.

The rest, as they say, is history, haha. 52 - 17 and a Buffalo offense that looked like they were just beat-down.

I think the Cowboys were playing with house money by inserting Peters into the game while moving Smith to guard. They got a birds eye view of the upcoming switch they are planning on making with Tyron coming back to his tackle position. Peters is the backup. McGovern may reclaim his role as a full back. This is all speculation on my part.
I don’t think Peters is going to be a full time starter in the NFL anymore. Last year in Chicago, he was the starter but still took plays off nearly every game. At 40 years of age, he’s a good player for up to about 1/2 the plays in a game. I think playing him at LT and playing Tyler Smith at LG is good preparation for Tyron Smith returning.
The great news for the Cowboys is that Tyler Biadasz and Terrance Steele have improved, and Connor McGovern has dramatically improved at the Guard position. Overall, the Cowboys are in a really good position along the offensive line.
Dog years?He is 40, close enough , LOL
Anyone get a chance to really look into his 20 or so snaps from yesterday? At worse, we have real depth at LT.
