Video: Tyron Smith rolling downfield

Tyrone should have been flagged with block in the back.

Thanks for the heads up Joe Buck

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

Nope. It's not blocking in the back when the opponent turns his back to you when you're about to block him.


SECTION 4 BLOCKING
Blocking is the act of obstructing or impeding an opponent by contacting him with a part of the blocker’s body.
A Block in the Back is a block that is delivered from behind an opponent above his waist. It is not a block in the back:
(a) if a player is making a personal attempt to recover a loose ball
(b) if the opponent turns away from the blocker when contact is imminent

Oh contact was imminent alright! It was like that DB saw a freight train about to flatten him and he turned to run away. Lol

Quite possibly the most athletic offensive lineman to ever play in the league.

A modern day Rayfield Wright.

 

[TheCount]

It was a phantom hold on T-Fred...

It wasn't a phantom call, I think it was actually the right call but it didn't have any affect on the play.

I loved Zeke's reaction when he realized there was a penalty, all that running for no reason.

DB's Reaction:

 

[Zordon]

The man should be making 20M per year. Took a huge paycut for the betterment of the team and loyalty to Jerry. Sometimes I feel like our fans forget about this. I have so much respect for him.

 

[hornitosmonster]

He is a beast. If he was running at me I would just drop and roll away

DB turned his back when being blocked.

 

[Etchyboy]

Holding call was ticky tack.

Aren't most of them are?

Duck and cover! Best way to avoid a NUKE

 

[TheHerd]

He's a beast. Coming out of college, dude looked like a RB:

Tyron Smith took a paycut? I haven't read that anywhere.

Tyron Smith took a paycut? I haven't read that anywhere.

He restructured and got tons of $$$ upfront which lessened his cap hit but he didn't take a cut

The Cowboys lowered Smith's $10 million base salary to $1 million, turning the difference into a signing bonus to create $7.2 million in room. The move adds $1.8 million to Smith’s cap figures over the next four years.

I didn't think he did. Not sure why Zordon thought he did. Tyron will be getting restructured for the rest of his contract life. lol

He's young enough to earn another very lucrative contract.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He's young enough to earn another very lucrative contract.

He entered the league when he was 16.

Truuee!

I just want to repost this, because we haven't done a highlight of Tyron Smith all season. The DB's reaction when Tyron snags him is hilarious.

That's hilarious. That DB was like, "I need an adult! I need an adult".

 

[TheHerd]

He's a freak. Looked like a RB coming out of USC:

Exactly. I've never seen an OL built like that.
