Yah I think the coaching staff and MM were looking ahead as well trying to get cute and hold out all 3 guys. Tyron clearly could have played and they held him out. Might have cost us the game as Chuma was absolutely terrible.
Yes, Chuma should be back up guard

everything seems to fall apart when Tyron goes out.
eh Tyler Smith played well at LT last year. Not sure why they didn't kick him out there, at least in 2nd half. There was one play where Chuma had to ask Tyler who to block. Chuma played well as backup guard leave him there as back up and start Richards. or move Tyler over and let him start there.

You can hide Chuma at guard in between two pro bowlers. Cant leave him out at LT against the best.

Night and day when playing without 4 pro bowlers than with them.
Their run defense stunk, they weren’t missing anything other than a corner for this game on D. Way too many penalties on both sides and lapses on D. They played way down to their opponent.

Does everyone in this organization speak to the media? I miss the old Parcells days when it was the Big Tuna only.

I was stuck in a bar without sound but it sure looked as if Tyron wanted to be out there. I wasn’t sure what was going on because he was dressed but not starting…unusual.

Cowboys OC Brian Schottenheimer: “We just kinda shot ourselves in the foot (in the red zone). Too many third-and-longs. A big emphasis for us is going to be getting ahead of the sticks in the red zone. It starts with me. Have to coach better. We should’ve been able to punch a couple of those touchdowns in.”

Yes, you shot yourselves in the foot with too many 3rd and longs......

Plus keeping and playing the wrong backups on the Oline!!! For highly paid professionals, y'all suck at Oline personnel decisions!
