You guys remember a thread in August that said "I'm worried about Tyron Smith" followed with 100 post sayin he's washed. Then me being like "If there is one player on this entire team I'm not worried about when it comes to actual football play it's Tyron Smith" Yea I remember too.

Look I found it

I take it back..it's just the same old trolls saying it.

Pulling for Tyron to stay healthy this season. He's a game changer when on the field

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Pretty good our bottom 5 defenders still got decent grades, bad day for Gilmore tho

 

[SBWinner]

I would disagree with Biadasz but then I remember this is just PFF, after all.

 

[Redline360]

DLaw had an outstanding game but as good as Parsons...sacks, fumble double teamed half the game...

Did blow up Hall and saved a TD by tipping the ball

Hooker was responsible for the Wilson TD, so PFF continues to be really accurate.

I wonder how PFF scores that 68-yard Garrett Wilson TD. Do they put that all on Gilmore?

Yes, Gilmore was covering him, but it was Hooker who took a terrible angle which allowed the TD to happen.

If Hooker does his job there, it's like a 15-yard reception.

Agreed. Gilmore gave up the catch, but Hooker gave up the TD. Made up for it some later, though, by preventing another TD by reading the QB on the deep interception when Wilson had Diggs beat.

Iirc they isolate it to reps not the whole play

So the corner “lost” his rep there and is deducted

I take it back..it's just the same old trolls saying it.

Although PFF didn't score Chuma high here (probably due to run blocking), I am a bit relieved that he has shown he's at least a capable starter at guard. That way if Tyron does have to miss some time, we should be able to put Tyler at LT without it hurting too badly. I wouldn't expect Tyler to be out too much longer.

I don't recall Steele being terrible.

Anywho, interesting grades for some.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The "worst" defenders still played better than average. This defense freaking rocks.

Tyron is still one of the best in the game when healthy.

Insane that the defense is so deep that even the worst performers outside of Gilly, who just had a rough game, still put up above average performances.

Our non-future HOF offensive line members were getting worked pretty good by the NYJ defensive line in the run game, but that pretty much happens to everyone in the league so not worried about that.

Yeah but sometimes if you watch the game real close I've seen Tyler be honest get pushed right back in the dax face by bull rushes he still has not got that resolved the 100% he's a really good player but to be honest I don't think we're gonna break the bank to keep the guy you see other guys that we just let go like Connor Williams and McGovern become center starters for other teams.. I don't want to move on from the guy but I've seen far too many of those plays where he's getting pushed back into Prescott he may not always give up a sack but it's kind of disruptive in the middle to have your center get pushed back that far.

I do remember a lot of people saying he needed to come off the bench as a swing tackle. LOL. Even if he's 90% of what he once was, he's still easily one of the best in the league at LT.

Why did we keep pendershot again? Dude is awful.
