CFZ Tyler Smith Is Your Starting LG

[Sydla]

The insane people are those that think Tyron Smith can stay healthy or play more than 6 games in a season

Maybe but they ain’t benching him when he is healthy.

People are insane.

Also Edoga is mediocre. People acting like he’s the solution, LOL.

Lmao I get it, nah Chuma is definitely depth. Can help you in a pinch but not someone you want to rely on.

Silver lining with him is he’s played T much more than G and has been bad there. His time at LG has been a lot more stable so that’s a solid sign.

He hasn't been healthy since 2016

Yeah but we saw 0 footage of Gallup. Anything you saw was very low impact.

Steele has being doing real OL drills and been looking like he was never hurt. I saw him working with Duke a month ago was like “is this guy even hurt?”.

Nothing makes me feel better than a guy doing real high impact drills on the knee.

something was amiss with Gallup ie setback they never spoke of because even after a setback of hammy with Chris Godwin he came back and was the player hes always been once he got going and they both had the same injury and surgery about the same time..Gal;lup was not and after the seasons he has surgery again. so this year he will be better IMO so using Gallup is not a barometer, as you are saying.,

Again, if he can play, he’s starting.

It’s kind of silly to think of he was ready to play they’d bench him.

 

[817Gill]

he's an aging injury prone tackle.....

Which is why you have a swing. But I get that point of view I do, I just think you can be right both ways.

 

[Creeper]

At some point Tyron Smith will go down for several weeks. Yes, the have bodies to step in if there is an injury or two but the problem is the quality of the backups. I like Farniok as a backup C, but not crazy about him at LG. I also worry that Martin is getting older and will start to get injured more frequently.

 

[Sully]

Don't care about who makes the probowl. How many sacks, TDs, INTs, whatever any players adds to their stats to then hold the team hostage for their BIG pay day. Get to a NFC Finals games. Not even asking for a Superbowl. This is the Dallas Cowboys--not the Detroit Lions, Browns, etc. Hell, the Jags have been to a AFC finals in 20 years and not the Cowboys..... Enough of the SHOW, win on the field

 

[Captain-Crash]

So what happen when Tyron Smith is injured in Week 2? And Steele is coming off knee surgery and might not be ready for Week 1.....then what?

Smith isn't getting hurt until game 4. sheesh. then ball takes over. lmao

"Tyron Smith is expected to count $17 million on the cap but Jones said the Cowboys are "comfortable" with that price tag and mentioned the importance of having depth at the tackle position."

That's a Jerry Jones quote, that tells me Tyron is the depth at tackle, not the starter

 

[CATCH17]

Put Mazi Smith at LG.

 

[speedkilz88]

The plan sucks
Tyler is your future LT and should be at LT
Tyrone at his age should be swing. I like Wally but prefer a swing to be a guy that’s actually played a snsp
Tyrone’s real value is having him when you need him because he’s very unlikely to play 17 games and when he goes down then you have to move two positions

It's the same plan they had for Larry Allen. They just changed their minds once they drafted Flozell Adams and saw how great LA was at OG.

I just don’t understand why they are drafting backup linebackers and defensive ends when you supposedly want to “run the d@## ball”.

The DE is more of a pass rushing 3T.

And subsequent quotes suggest otherwise. And Archer tweeted today if the season started today, Tyler Smith would be the starting LG.

Maybe running the ball is a smokescreen. Watch them do exactly what they were doing when KM was was here. In that case we better have an all time great defense.

 

[Malhavoc]

Anyone that thinks Tyron is not starting if healthy is not living in reality. The team will wait til he gets injured and pivot to an alternative. I would have taken O’Cyrus in round 2 and called it a day.

 

[revospeed]

Not a chance brother, but appreciate the thought!

This team preaches best 5 and has shown it under Mike. Farniok is not better than the 5 man lineup mentioned in the OP.

Stephen indicated that steele will be the swing tackle.

 

[conner01]

He is. When Tyron retires.

So you want to sit a player who completely embarrassed Nick Bosa in a playoff game?

Tyrone hasn’t played a full season in 5 years
You betting on a guy a year older to play a 17 games season. And if he goes down then you have to move two player. Chances are one of the tackles misses time and then you have Tyrone to step in

I have no doubt Tyrone is starting
I question the logic of it though
Draft a guard and tyrone is your swing
If a tackle goes down you only have to make one chsnge
I liked Avila but drafting a guard was the right move no matter which you took
