Schottenheimer praising how Guyton has looked in OTAs

Not committing one ridiculous penalty after another would be a huge improvement. He led the league in OL penalties, in spite of sitting out half the snaps.
Playing a new position in the nfl it was kinda expected. He had 14 penalties, smith had 11 his first year and he had played LT a lot in college. If he can cut that in half that’s huge. Tunsil who has been in the league some time had one less penalty
 
I thought he played better late. But I didn’t expect greatness from a rookie playing a different side in the nfl. Technique and strength is key. I’m sure he added some strength and a year of reps should improve his technique. I think Beebe is gonna be better too. Reps are key
Well you're not the only one to suggest that, but I simply don't understand why we think Guyton played better later in the year. When you're losing snaps to Chuma Edoga its typically a sign that he didn't play well. I do agree that another year to let him get stronger should help. My bigger concern with Guyton is simply that he looked slow to recognize what defenders were doing to him. Hes got to be able to process the game quicker. Some guys that switch can flip on with reps, other guys its like it never quite happens.
 
Well its worth noting one of their acquistions was Laremy Tunsil which says yes left tackle was a issue for them or they thought it was.
They did it the smart way.

Sure up the most important position (QB) then focus on OLine.

The Cowboys have been doing the opposite for the past 20 years are always left wondering where it’s going wrong.
 
Exactly.

How many rings did having the best LT in football for a decade get us?
The Commanders literally just traded for Tunsil because LT was a issue hat are you guys rambling on about?

Now you guys are trying to diminish the importance of the left tackle position? :laugh:Eagles have a damn good one and they just won a ring.

The smart way would've been to get a left tackle last year for your rookie QB but sure let's take advice from MountaineerCowboy on what the "smart way" is. :laugh:

Guyton had 18 penalties in 668 snaps.

Smith had 15 penalties in 1274 snaps.

Huge difference when you factor in playing time. In theory Guyton could cut down his penalty rate in half and still get 18 on the season because he missed about half the teams snaps in 2024.
 
They’re not very good. So, this “everybody” you speak of is false.

Micah doesn’t suck, but he’s off podcasting.

I’m gonna go with they suck more than Guyton has vastly improved.
You should watch the press conference to here everything the coach said.
 
I think with his body type......he's gonna have issues getting stronger. He looks more like a basketball player....I think we are always going to be asking for him to get stronger...doesn't mean he can't have success though.
I agree.

I doubt he’ll ever be a ‘powerful’ left tackle, but I’ll settle for strong enough.

I think I now know why he never did the bench press on record.
 
They did the same thing last May and the. Backtracked once the season progressed. The only ones who keeps it real with the olinemen who opinion I take serious is Nate Newton. He was the only one last summer who was critical or suspect of Guytons performance/technical craft.
