PFF Grade for Guyton is 80.7

[McKDaddy]

We might have the 2 best guards in the league in Martin and Tyler Smith.

Tyler is the only one in contention for that designation.

how did those RB's do in their first preseason game?

Braelon Allen with the Jets is the main player referenced as a guy that played well that would have been in play if the Cowboys had that pick. I’m not sure how many other options there were without looking through the draft again.

Edit: I decided to go ahead and look at the draft.

The Cowboys traded pick 124 for Lance and pick 125 was when the big run on rbs started lol. Besides Braelon Allen, Bucky Irving’s seemed to have a good game as well.

It's funny all this talk about our 3rd string qb when we should be jumping for joy about Tyler Guyton and the rest of our draft.

Mazi showed some real good improvement as well. There were a lot of positives.

Here are all the 4th Round RBs taken last draft and how they did this past weekend.

120. Jalen Wright - Miami (taken 4 spots before the Frisco pick we traded away)
10 rushes, 55 yards (5.5 ypc)

125. Bucky Irving - Tampa Bay
6 rushes, 28 yards (4.7 ypc)

127. Will Shipley - Philly
7 rushes, 23 yards (3.3 ypc)

128. Ray Davis - Buffalo
5 rushes, 2 yards (0.4 ypc)

129. Isaac Guerendo - SF 49ers
DNP

134. Braelon Allen - Jets
6 rushes, 54 yards (9.0 ypc)

Cowboys T Tyler Guyton​

Dallas’ first-round pick played 21 snaps at left tackle in his first action in the NFL, earning an 80.7 PFF overall grade in the process. He didn’t allow any pressures from 13 pass-blocking snaps and produced a 78.6 PFF run-blocking grade across eight such snaps.

Didn't realize he played that many snaps.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I really wonder if the lack of a willingness to run the ball yesterday (44 passes to 17 designed runs) hurt the Oline?

You can't learn anything watching Lance hand the ball off. His progress is the single most important thing this preseason.

When half the board wants to drop you MVP caliber QB for a 3rd stringer that has been struggling in camp... Yeah... that's going to come up here! LOL

 

[Tony_D_33]

His scouting report said we should expect him to hold up in pass pro... his weaknesses at Oklahoma were all running game related.

Just fyi.

So, just one game, but certainly something to feel good about.

A converted three-star DT prospect who transferred to OU from TCU, Guyton (6’076/322) is one of the few first-round caliber 2024 tackles who transferred from their original school. Oklahoma OC Jeff Lebby planted Guyton at LT throughout 2022 fall camp with Guyton starting OU’s opener against UTEP before Lebby hit the eject button and moved him over to the right side, where he remained for the duration of his Sooners tenure. Guyton shuttled in and out of the starting lineup as he acclimated to his new position, recording 352 snaps at RT while allowing two sacks and one hurry despite missing a few games due to injury. He finally settled into a starting role this year and stayed mostly healthy logging 663 snaps with zero sacks, three hits and nine hurries. Though he allowed 12 total pressures on the year, none of those miscues resulted in an interception or an incompletion. There was no escape on run plays when the mammoth tackle was bearing down on defenders, as Guyton was credited with a 0% blown run block rate on 303 opportunities, an achievement that speaks for itself. His Combine performance only solidified Guyton’s blue chips status with a 1.76s 10-yard split (87th%), 7.5s 3-Cone (89th%) and jaw-dropping 34.5” vertical jump (98th%) for a superb 9.70 RAS. Blessed with impressive agility, Guyton’s flexibility and fluid hips allow him to cut off defenders on run plays and beat speed rushers to the outside. If anything Guyton’s quickness is so pronounced that savvy edge rushers will bait him on the loop to induce oversets and cross his face. His pad level can get high at times, exposing his chest and leaving him susceptible to bull rushes when he isn’t centered. He only started for one season in his four year collegiate voyage, so Guyton is still coming into his own and will likely have some early growing pains, but the pieces are in place for him to develop into an athletic mauler if handled properly.

Was pleasantly surprised, to be honest.
Keep it up young man and keep our future franchise QB safe and sound!!!

 

[beware_d-ware]

Everything about Guyton has been really good, which has shocked me. He didn't start a lot of games at Oklahoma, and was pretty up and down when he did. So I wasn't expecting him to hit the ground running.

So far, all he's done is roll up in Dallas and start kicking butt. If this keeps up, we've just found ourselves a monster steal.

Yeah i get it, the Cowboys wanted to put the ball in his hands as many times as possible. I'm not even saying its the wrong thing to do, but there is an downside to that where you are basically turning every play into a 3rd and long type of situation for the defense. If you as a defender can skip your run read altogether and go straight after the QB it's a massive advantage.

Any back can run if there is a hole. Even the backs that we already have.

Blown blocks may be one metric that his agent made sure to emphasize when the NBC Sports writer spoke with him, but there's more to it than that.
