Tyler is supposed to be his replacement but is not there yet. I think maybe next year theyput him at LT again
But relying on rookies as your backups as we did this year was stupid

This is on the front office for thinking guys like Ball and Waletzko….and many mid round picks for that matter….are ever going to turn into key contributors when you should be seeking immediate help when within an open window to win.

They don’t get that part. They still sit there with a cat who are the canary grin and think they are out-smarting everyone else so they can keep their own free agents years from now when everyone loses theirs.

Edoga has been awful since he has been in the league. They signed him as a backup guard then decide to start him at LT in two losses we sure wish we had back.

These games are lost over the off-season when Jerry and Son are laughing at the rest of the league’s ineptitude.

We're lucky to have had Tyron available and starting this long into the season.
..and he has been outstanding when he was playing.

But yet the front office did not stop fishing for quality backups and developmental types.
Kudos for them to keep it going and not settling on Ball and Wally.

- Bass may turn out to be a solid gem find as a backup.
- Maybe Asim Richards may eventually turn into a solid backup

Facts I believe we win with him in the line up. Chuma was just terrible.
He was, but earlier in year he actually manned the spot admirably. I still think he'd be better at guard and kick Tyler out to T but team doesn't see it that way.

I know that Tyron Smith will arrive in Canton as one of the best left tackles of his time but damn, he has been a no show more times than I can count over the last 8 seasons. Looking at his career over this time he has missed 4 games so far this season, 5 in 2022, 5 in 2021, 14 in 2020, 3 in 2019, 3 in 2018, 2 in 2017 and 3 in 2016. No one knows what his pain tolerance is etc. but he sure does have a propensity not to play hurt or dinged up.. 39 games missed in the last 7 1/2 seasons. That is a lot of games missed for any teams Hall of Fame left tackle!
Lol

Our fans are brutal. Take Parsons' roughing penalty for instance... My guess is that stemmed from frustration from our "fans" talking smack.
Did you just suggest Parsons took the roughing penalty because he is frustrated with fans?

Wow, I think I’ve seen it all … you really think Parsons (or any player) cares that much what fans think or say?

Grasping hard today

Yes, they may, but the point is to not count on developmental types to be capable backups when you’re in the middle of a shot to win.

Not at left tackle anyway when you’re starter is certain to miss several games.

Maybe Asim turns into a nice player, but he is literally useless right now.

so long as Tyron is playing and they believe in vet Chuma, Asim won't be activated.

Bass is the only OG reserve i assume.

What happens/who steps in at center if Tyler B get nicked up and out ?

You can always count on #77: if he says he's ready, and the game is of any import... he's a no go.

The outcome oi this season depended on the reliability of a player with a long and consistent history of unreliability.

As great as Tyron Smith is or has been, his impact on games diminishes somewhat when he is not in uniform. The situation beomes evn more volatile given management's lack of effort when it came to providing an adequate backup plan.

This was either pure risk or pure naivety on the part of Cowboys management. After 7 consecutive seasons of missing 3 or more starts, their decision to back Tyron up with a journeyman or low round rookie can only be described as foolhardy.

In the perfect world, Tyron would have been the swing tackle, Tyson smith would be the starting left tackle, the starting left guard would be the guy drafted right after the Cowboys took Schoonmaker in the 2nd round. That would be 344 LBS 6 FT 5 Inch O'Cyrus Torrence. We saw him in Buffalo a few weeks ago.

If this season ends abruptly, it won't be a coaching issue or lack of talent. It will be poor planning and strategy.

#71 should have not been allowed on the plane home. How do you go inside when there is a DE to your left all alone? Just dumb pee wee league, brain dead crap. How is it we wind up with generational lovers like Chaz Green and #71?

Hoffman seemed to have played well in the time Biadasz has missed.

He also hasn’t proven he isn’t capable on tape the way Edoga has. He was supposed to be a backup guard.

Many around here didn’t trust him as as much as that, and they start him at left tackle.

I said days ago I was worried about Chubb getting several shots at Dak and was ridiculed.

We are lucky we aren’t talking about how Copper Rush is gonna save the season today.
