Should moving Tyler Smith to LT be considered

[darthseinfeld]

I think with the addition of Booker, your best line might be (from left to right) Smith, Hoffman, Beebe, Booker, Guyton.

With drafting Booker, ther interior OL looks like it could be dominant for the next decade. However the OT's are still very questionable. Guyton showed some promise. However overall he really struggled and alot of maturity questions popped up while he was sidelined. Getting healthy scratches when he was ready to play is very concerning. Can we count on him to be our LT?

Smith came in cold and played LT against Pittsburgh and Detroit and had strong starts. Hoffman played well down the stretch at RG, and his skill set may actually make him a better fit at LG. I think you play him there, he may actually be a plus starter

I don't think it should be considered; I think they are planning on it.

Steel may even make a better RG than RT. Something to consider....

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

No. Him at LG is the best thing the line has going for it, don’t mess with that

I have a hard time thinking moving an all pro guard out of position is a good thing.

Nope.

All pro at guard. You don’t move him. One of his biggest issues was over reaching at LT which led him to be the highest penalized player in college. When they put him there prior to last season that was starting to happen again. Leave him at guard, put Booker at RG. Put Steele on the yacht and leave him there. That’s why I don’t like this pick. Now Hoffman stays on the bench. I thought he earned that RG spot.

To little to late now but this also now means you may need a LT if you move Guyton to RT where he belongs.

I'd prefer not to and leave it as a plan B. Too many penalties from him even at G....that number is likely to explode if you put him at tackle. You've got what could be a very good interior OL at this point which allows to you commit more resources to helping the outside guys. I wouldnt change things up too much unless Guyton or Steele prove to be total liabilities again this year and force your hand.

If Steele is still struggling at pass protection, you may need to shuffle the deck chairs.

The rookie left tackle had a great third-quarter last season. He came on strong. No, he’s staying there.

He definitely struggled, but he definitely got better

 

[Vinnie2u]

I don't think anything is set in stone. The best 5 going to play.

 

[JoeKing]

No, that's just creating two problems to solve one.

What part would you like me to clarify that you’re not understanding.

 

[CATCH17]

Regardless, Dallas has options now that should make their OL be above average as a unit at worst on paper.

If we play as a unit and not individuals, we could have a top three offensive line right now. This booker is a beast.

 

[RodeoJake]

Guyton has to make a big improvement or it has to be considered. He started poorly and then was in and out of the lineup the second half of the season for whatever reason. Either his attitude was bad or he was struggling, depending upon who you believe. Steele needs to get back to his pre injury form. Having both tackles playing poorly ain't helping Dak.

 

[Rayman70]

Yes. Big-time.

Only if Guyton and Richards struggle. Dallas is set to have one of the most powerful interiors in the league. Don't change that unless you have to.

 

[JW82]

Yes. I don't understand the hesitancy to put the best player at the most important position. Hopefully Guyton takes the next step, but it should be plan b.

Steele got better as the season progressed. It may have just taken longer for him to get all the way back from his knee injury. He's a hard worker, so maybe he'll get back closer to the form that resulted in his contract extension after he allowed one sack in 2022. He allowed nine last year.
