Put Tyler Smith at left guard and leave him there!

[xwalker]

Buzz-kill post right? That's a lot of penalties against Tulsa competition too. I am hopeful but why replace Connor Williams with another Connor Williams type player, at least where he was...LOL

Tulsa did play schools like Ohio State...

 

[xwalker]

Eric Williams like to finish but so did LA. What set EWill apart was how he'd turn his punches into head slaps and throat punches. He had no issues sweeping the leg. I don't see Smith being like that. He likes picking people up, and slam/flopping on them. T

Yes, demeanor is more LA than EW.

LA pummeled defenders because it was fun.

EW literally wanted to kill defenders and eat their children.
- Darren Woodson who player with LA, EW and Haley say that EW was the scariest player that's he ever seen on the football field.
- Nate Newton says he and other players stayed away from EW in pre-game warmups because it was too physically painful to do 1-on-1 against him.
- Nate said that LA was the only player that would do the pre-game reps against EW.

He's going to be a "left sided" player per Jones'. "Smith will have opportunity to rep at both left guard & left tackle."

I think I'll go with what the Jones' have in mind for the position the kid will play than some poster on a forum.

flowers sucks

Yeah, I'm not all that excited either, but the alternative doesn't seem very wise.

Don't know if anyone has said this, but what tape I've watched of TyLER reminds me of Ronald Leary.

What's all this talk about right tackle, future left tackle? Blah, blah, blah. Just leave the kid in Larry Allen's old position and let him maul. Bulk this kid up to where he can bench press 700 lbs.

Quick note, Larry Allen was a Pro Bowler at LG, LT, and RT.

Just sayin' lol

 

[KJJ]

The Cowboys see Smith as their future LT. He’ll get some reps at LT when Tyron is out. Tyron has missed three or more games six straight years.

 

[nalam]

Not encouraging however that he lead college football in penalties..

Read his coach’s response on the penalties, more often when the refs see someone on the ground ( beaten up) , they are obliged to call penalty. There may be some truth to that,

If he plays really well at LG, I think he will stick there.

Simply am not penciling in a 21 year old to be the staring left guard for a team with post-season expectations before he's hit training camp... short of that 21 year-old having a Tyron Smith kind-of-regard. Tyler, of course, does not.

First priority in free agency now is Ereck Flowers or someone similar.

They already did it. Look at the current cowboys depth chart. He's the starting LG.

That's not how it was. Larry Allen played every position but center, and was a pro bowler at both tackle spots and RG. He didn't play LG until 1999. He was a better player when moving around the 1st half of his career vs. his LG years, but that was more due to him becoming a fat slob rather than his position.

That is completely not true.

The season starts in September, obviously. So, whatever they're doing now isn't actually compelling to who will be the starting LG in Game #1.

The Co-GM has openly said pre-draft he's not finished yet with free agency.

I don't have any influence over the Co-GM, of course, but my opinion is he's got to go into training camp with a viable alternative to a 21 yr-old who doesn't come to the big leagues with a Tyron Smith sized reputation coming out of college.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

So before Tyler starts training & winning his spot, they want to put him at LG ?

ITs his style. He hugs guys. Watch him. He needs better technique.

 

[cowboyec]

tyler smith is gonna kick butt in this league.
glad we got him.

 

[TNCowboy]

That is completely not true.

It's 100% true. Most people only want to remember the good.

Allen went on fumes and reputation from about 2001 on, his gut swelled up like he'd swallowed a beach ball.

 

[Risen Star]

If he can ever be a dominant LT then you play him there.

Meaningless comment. You'd like anyone they picked.

Never mind. You were saying specifically LG.
