Twitter: Tyron could be out multiple months

[TwistedL0g1k]

The upside here is that it happened now. This could have happened a few days from now, after final cuts.

Everyone seemed to know this was coming but the GM that did nothing to shore up the swing tackle position.

He needs the Cap Cash for reason only he and his Son are aware of........

But it shouldn't even be a concern at all if the FO understood the concepts of disaster planning and risk assessment.

On roster maintenance, do we cut Smith and re-sign him in 24 hours?

Move Martin to left Tackle. More two TE formations.

Nah they could buy one easy......remember 8 billion worth and 1 billion in revenues ain't peanuts!!!

The Jones boys could buy whatever they wanted in a non-cap world, but would they make the right choices? I have my doubts.

It's not like they've earned their personnel roles on merit. They simply handed them to themselves, and we've seen the results.

Groundhog Day, again

This season was a punt anyway.
The Boys are just waiting on Payton.

For God knows why. He's not that much better than Mike, and he's certainly not worth a 1st round pick.

In a non cap world Jerry competes with Musk, Bezos, Waltons….

I am sorry but this is nearly unbelievable. I love Tyron Smith and he is one of my favorite Cowboys, but when I read this initially I literally thought it was satire. The injury prone label is usually thrown around too loosely, but wow it is shocking at the variety/severity of injuries that Tyron has dealt with the last 4 or 5 seasons.

Is it still good business to not use all the cap space? Asking for me.

Our front office treats the salary cap like some mythical deity that will bring death and destruction upon us all if we so much as look at it the wrong way. The fact the Jones boys have refused to even entertain getting veteran help on the offensive line/ WR is just dumbfounding to me. We all knew there was no chance Tyron plays more than 8 games this season but the front office seemed to think that 5+ years of injury history would evaporate for an aging player at a premium position.

I was already mentally prepared for this.

I mean, c'mon, Tyron wasn't getting a "second wind" to his career. If it wasn't the hamstring, it was going to be the back or something else.

Tyron gave us some great years and it's sad that it never came to championships, but it's over. At least that's my frame of mind. If he makes it back, then pleasant surprise, but I certainly don't expect it.

I guess it would have been rude to just play Tyler at LT all preseason but that is his position. Really, it always was.

It's like living in a volcano hazard area where there's a hazard of lava every so often flowing through the backyard. Eventually, that lava is going to enter the living room unless you're smart enough to realize that you need to move. Jerry, in this analogy, wouldn't realise it until the lava was on the floor.

Ya...they clearly should have another all pro LT ready to step in like every other team does.


They drafted Smith for this eventuality. They didn't expect it.to happen so soon and for so long though. Frankly, i think Tyler can be an above average PT but he has All pro capability at LG, IMO.

They like Ball and Waletzgo. I trust them in their OL evals, willing to roll with it and see what happens.

 

[plasticman]

Half the reports call the hamstring severe, the other half call it torn.

Maybe, but they need to make a move also for either Wynn or Fisher to serve as insurance if something happens.

How do they know what they had in Ball this offseason?

No one is saying they need an all-pro but how about someone who has taken a snap in the NFL? They have a LT that hasn't been healthy for a full season in a long time.

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Thats the ACL, Shefter later said the injury is actually a torn hamstring

Severe means there is a tear of some sort from partial to complete. It could even be a worse scenario.
