Twitter: Steele to be swing tackle this year

[mattjames2010]

Treated like a 40 year old being left on an island? Silly trailer trash. Don't forget to put your name on the oj lil Matty

LOL trailer trash. Nice random insult.

I will repeat: Peters played in 10 games, started in 1. He was slowly being worked into the lineup. He was pretty much being used situationally. This is very different than being plopped in as a starter after missing most the season with an injury and being moved to a position you haven't played at in years.

Learn. The. Difference.

Pay attention to what's NOT being said people...........notice Eatman quoted Jerry didn't rule out addressing it "from within". This tells me as clear as day, our starting LG is likely NOT on the roster yet. In fact, I think it's safe to 26 or 58 will be Oline unless a top 15 falls in their lap....IMO

Clarence Hill translating Jerry Jones is equivalent to kindergartners playing the telephone game.

I want to hear Jerry’s words myself before jumping to conclusions.

 

[Ekspozed]

Steele is a backup. So this would be good news if it's actually true.

You're one of the worst evaluators here. Whatever you say just go with the opposite.

You clearly haven’t heard kindergarteners in China playing the telephone game- by the end the last kid reminds you of stuff you forgot to say

Just have an open competition for the position, let the best tackle win.

 

[starfan1]

LOL.

Tyron is better. Ride him until he gets hurt then Steele slides in.

I understand everyone has differing views but the fact of the matter is Steele is the best run blocker on the line not name Martin . Tyron can’t stay on the line he’s a has been . I appreciate what he’s done for us but his replacement has been drafted. Tyler wasn’t drafted because of Steele .

 

[LACowboysFan1]

The good news is, Tyler will stay at left tackle and we are probably going to draft a guard at 26

I'm fine with a guard at 26, let's get another Zack Martin!

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Nah. Healthy Tyron is still a better player

Agreed that Tyron is better, BUT:

This is probably his last year, maybe 2 more, but we need to find out if Steele is going to be the RT after that, if so we're set there, but if not, we can draft another one, let him learn behind Tyron for a year or two.

Besides, Tyron WILL get hurt and miss games this year, and the next, and the next (if he doesn't somehow retire by then), then you've got to put in Steele who hasn't gotten to play because of the injury, so he's farther behind in his development.

Tyron needs to be the swing tackle....

 

[ESisback]

Start the year…
Tyler, Avila, Badass, Martin, Tyron (once Tyron gets injured, Steele)

OR…

Tyron, Tyler, Badass, Martin, Steele

What would you choose?

I agree that if this is the plan, then we're going to draft guard earlier than I thought. I figured it would be the third or fourth round because the plan was to start Tyron, Tyler, Biadasz, Martin and Steele. We still needed to draft a guard because Tyron can't stay healthy for a season, but first or second needed to be used on someone we planned to play a lot this year (and that wouldn't have been the plan).

However, if what Jerry says is true, then getting an immediate starter becomes necessary, so we need to use a first- or second-round pick.

Mr. Avila, come on down.

You have to plan for only a half-season or less from Tyron. The fact they have not signed a starting-level FA, tells me they feel pretty good about getting one in the draft........this is why I'm guessing 26 or 58.

BTW........we know how they like their Oline players flexing. My guess is they would target a G who can also play center.

 

[conner01]

Jerry is delusional it is Tyron that needs to be swing tackle

Seems like the most logical move to me
Starting Tyron 17 games means we will need another swing tackle during the season when Tyron goes down

True. But if Tyron, Tyler and Steele were the planned starters, I know right now I need a starting NT and I might need a starting RB considering that ours is hurt and his backup is a bargain signing. Guard was either third or fourth on my list depending on how you feel about tight end. If Steele is viewed as a swing tackle with Tyron and Tyler starting at tackle, then guard rises to the top of the needs list.

Mr. Avila, come on down.

Just read this kid Bio for the first time........my goodness
Talk about a perfect fit ......started 11 games at center as a Jr and 15 games LG as a senior.

Who's your starting LG?

 

[gimmesix]

Who's your starting LG?

It was Tyler, with Tyron and Steele at the tackles. Then, when Tyron got hurt, Tyler would move out to LT and whoever is the best among Farniok, Edoga and a third- or fourth-round rookie would step in at LG. Starting NT and two-man rotation running back to me superseded the need at guard in that scenario.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

among Farniok, Edoga and a third- or fourth-round rookie would step in at LG

Question...........would this be an upgrade over Connor McGovern? I'm not sure

 

[Zekeats]

First stupid move of the offseason.

It's so hard to get the obvious right.
