Twitter: Tyler on his switch back to LT, "like riding a bike"

[Hawkeye0202]

Alright Tyler, if you say so..........lol

 

[zrinkill]

Better get a helmet

 

[J12B]

Should've been made starting LT day 1

If Shaq Barrett rides him week 1 he shouldn't be talking big again all year

Why? Over Tyron?

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

This is the NFL, so he shouldn't be throwing players around like he did in college. Which actually could mean less holding calls. Fingers crossed though.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Alright Tyler, if you say so..........lol

Hopefully without the holding Penalties...

 

[nathanlt]

Oh, I am trying so hard not to picture a bicycle with a yellow flag on it. Honestly, I wish him all the best!

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Hopefully will be like riding a bike when he’s moved back to LG tomorrow after Peters signs.

He played left tackle in college for three years, so why wouldn't he be comfortable going back out there?

Of course, the competition will be different but being in that position is nothing new for him.

 

[Pass2Run]

This kid is ready to play either position. It's going to be funny seeing people be like, oh, he can play tackle.

But he's just a better guard for now, especially next to a tackle like Tyron or even Peters.

I think we should come out running the ball right at Shaq Barrett and keep doing it until they load that side.

I'm getting sick of hearing our own so-called fans express doubt in Tyler Smith at LT. He has the mentality that he can do this. LT is something he has done his whole life so let him do it! If you can't support him then shut up and watch him prove you wrong.

 

[maryquality]

I'm rooting for you Tyler!!

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Tyler is going to play a huge part in how many wins we get this season. Massive pressure for a kid from TU.

The reason to put him at guard was to mitigate his biggest issue.

Penalties.

This front offices response to cleaning up the penalties from last season, was to draft the player with the most penalties in college. Let that sink in.

Yah, we will see.

Everyone is just like you. They know he is better off at guard.

Let’s see....Dak was a 4th round pick and got thrown in the fire as a rookie QB of the most visible and high profile team maybe in all of sports and he seemed to handle it pretty well.
He was outstanding his rookie year.
But Tyler Smith doesn’t have a chance and Dak will get hurt because of his sloppy play?

 

[Bullflop]

If we can't find an experienced vet to assume the LT spot, I'm certain we'll see if Tyson can handle it or not.

Of course, his college experience was helpful, however, he'll be obliged to overcome his penalty problems.

I wouldn't be too shocked if Jason Peters will be insistent upon getting a healthy raise over his Chicago $$.

With Chicago, the Bears' contract with Peters was a reasonable $3 mil. I'd guess that JP would ask $5 mil.
