Oy vey.

It's obvious that your mind is made up.

Were you also one of the posters who felt same about picking Tyler with 1st round pick?

Bet your mind was made up back then too.
I hope for your sake you're not a betting man. My mind is made up, and my decision is to watch whatever happens, knowing that I have no idea how well Peters can play LT at his age, and knowing that it might be better to play him at guard, where speed isn't as important as it is at LT, and since we've seen how well Tyler's played against very good players, and he's the future of the LT position, it makes little sense to move him unless Peters shows that he's much, much better at LT than he is at LG, which none of us have seen yet.

If Tyler was brought in to play LT then why did Philbin not give him a SINGLE rep at that position in preseason?

Because it is obvious that Tyler was drafted to play LG first and foremost then maybe LT in the future.

Don't let facts get in the way of your fake narratives.

Lol...they told you he was a LT of the future, they were playing him at LG because Tyron was still here and they wanted him on the field, when Tyron went done it excelerated the process.

I agree, it's better to have a vet inside beside him. Nothing against Matt Farniok he just needs playing time.

Seems like fig newton said during a preseason game that 68 could play, and he was the only one.

I'll leave it to the staff to determine what to do with Peters. After all, they see far more of where he plays well, than we do. :grin:

The problem is that the best LT on team is not Tyler.

Peters is still the better LT.

While Tyler is the best LG on the team.

Like Zack Martin, Tyler could be elite at guard.

Tyler is far from elite at LT right now and unlikely to be this season at least.

Cowboys need to put their best 5 in the positions that will maximize not just the individual or OL unit but also maximize the offense and overall success of the team.

Not sure why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.

Tyler can take whole offseason (like Erik Williams, like LA, like Flozell, like Tyron) to learn intricacies of LT position and set himself and team up for success next season.
Yup, best 5. Peters at LT, Tyler at guard where he can mail, I agree.
