Second-year NFL players poised for breakout seasons - Guyton is one

[Rockport]

Looking at Guyton's body type, he looks to be overly frail for one who plays DE. I'm not confident he'll ever have the upper body strength to be a real force vs. the run. I'll likely be fairly satisfied if he's just about average in that department.

His arms look average for a WR, not a DE. As far as his pass rush capabilities, he might actually be passable, although, that remains to be seen. Let's hope he keeps working tirelessly on his weight training, as has been reported in the offseason.

Guyton plays LT.

I'm confused. Guyton is our left tackle.

As much as I hate to admit it, It's I who got confused -- just my old man's brain at work. You're right, he's our LT. Nevertheless, it's still likely he won't have the strength to fend off the DEs, to protect Dak from the pass rush. Maybe all that work he's doing with the weights will help his cause. I hope so.

Cant be worse than the start he had. He just needs to be serviceable and league average and this line will be so much better than last year.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but Brian Schottenheimer has already (basically) said Guyton is not being handed the LT spot.

When Booker was drafted when he said the "best 5" linemen will play; and if that involved moving Tyler Smith to LT, that would happen. When asked if Guyton could take the next step, Schotty's reply was "I don't know".

Stop. The obsession w/ moving Tyler to OLT is just weird. And would screw up our developing OL.

Pretty sure the original plan was to start Edoga the first part of the season until he got hurt and on IR.
Later in the season they recognized that Guyton was starting to blow up mentally a bit so they finished with Edoga!

Since Edoga has been injury prone his entire career, bad plan.

He was a RT. He might never be a LT. Smith Richards combo should have manned the left side last year.

They would've been worse than Guyton there.
