Twitter: Tyron Smith likely out for Sunday

[John813]

Guess what position were drafting in the first round in 2022

Penning or Cross for me, if they fall that far.

Penning is a nasty mean Tackle. A bit stiff but I think a year or so with Philbin will get him close to a full time starter.
6'7, 330, 34-7/8" arms and 625lb squat

Cross is a Redshirt Sophomore and is probably the most athletic OT in the draft. Not a complete prospect like Neal but like Penning a year of development can do wonders. A bit lean at 305lb but not worried.

This reason right here is why the folks pining on trading Collins these last few weeks needed to slow their roll. Smith is a freak of nature when healthy, but this will be his sixth straight season he has missed games.

its time to be ready to transistion...he may have a year or so more before he really breaks down, maybe its already happening, but the FO cant ignore it anymore

Well that was informative. I guess he ruled out Micah Parsons.

 

[rambo2]

Why mess with a young player, keep him where he is and allow the veteran to play the left side which he has in the past.

I just said that because that is what they are doing.

 

[LowTech]

Draft OLine first then DLine

Meanwhile....

Too soon bro.....

If we are not prepared to play without Smith then we are clearly fools. Go to plan B and move on.

Thank gawd you make zero decisions for the Cowboys.

You simply stink at it.

Fake news...the cowboys are resting the horses...up front.

The cowboys have something up their sleeve.

I don't think I like what the Cowboys have decided to do with LT while Tyron is out and we aren't sure how mobile Dak will be

We have to remember Collins hasn't played LT since he was at LSU in 2014. Steele got plenty of reps there throughout training camp. So it makes the most sense to just flip Steele out there for one game (and probably give him some help with a TE) instead of asking Collins to play in a spot he hasn't been at in seven years.

..im not surprised. Let the guy rest. Big games eventually coming up.

Get well big fella!

Never was for trading Collins. Wouldn't have minded us trading Williams. But I'm also good with having depth in case of situations like this one. We've gone a lot of years not having adequate depth.

 

[JoeKing]

Steele and Williams on the left side(blindside) of our O-line is a questionable decision, and then there is Dak maybe being less mobile. I'm concerned.
