They always look. Never stop.

Stephen Jones must not have read Dak Attack's scouting report on Issac Alarcon

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thank god he didn't spend all offseason preparing to play guard

This was the plan all along. When Tyron inevitably went down, they were going to slide Tyler over.

 

[bonafidebanter]

Let's go Tyler!

 

[Sydla]

It's the 2nd best option amongst many bad options here.

1) Sign Fisher or someone like him is the preferable option
2) Start Smith
3) Start Ball

Ewww.

 

[Direwolf63]

It's probably the least bad option, especially if they are not going outside for a replacement

But watching that o-line will be a white-knuckle experience this year

It's going to backfire. Hard to expect Tyler Smith to step in and execute well when he has not practiced at Left Tackle as a rookie all summer.

Stephen Jones continues to emphasize Cowboys' draft-day assertion Tyler Smith was future LT. Future came sooner than expected. But "that’s why we drafted him in the first round," Stephen tells
@1053thefan
. "To ultimately be our future left tackle. Feel good about where that is."

SJ just answered the question we've been speculating about.

I think Stephen and Jerry are under the impression that “green light” that Smith received is some sort of kryptonite for Brady’s Superman

someone needs to tell them….

No surprise .. lol

 

[75boyz]

My gut says this is gonna backfire with Vita Vea tossing McGovern around probably. I would have liked to have seen Smith's country boy strength up against Vita Vea's Island boy strength. At least Smith would have stood his ground pretty well there I think.

 

[Diehardblues]

If it’s ugly in the first half we should rest Dak. Lol

I’m sure Jethro and Son know what they’re doing

 

[thunderpimp91]

Hope I'm wrong, but I liked him a lot more playing G this season. Sky high potential, but hes still a really raw player, and will be on an island at T pretty often.

Getting very strong 2018 vibes, when the Cowboys' front office were the only people in the world who were surprised when the WR corps wasn't good enough.

It's going to backfire. Hard to expect Tyler Smith to step in and execute well when he has not practiced at Left Tackle as a rookie all summer.

Maybe our leadership and coaches know what they’re doing . What could go wrong . Lol

 

[Streifenkarl]

Ok, I'm in team Tyler now. Wish him the best but expect a rocky start. But if he's our man, he's our man.

 

[maryquality]

Please, for the love of Pete, can our coaches put someone over there to help him out? A TE, FB, anyone?
