Tyron Smith

[Clove]

I agree with this, however, those picks are not pretty picks like people want!

Even the tallest building has a solid foundation, and the oline IS the foundation for a football team.

I really hope that Garrett/Jones continue to address this position with high picks.

You can have a crappy QB, but if the oline gives him enough time, he will burn you.

And to add to this. You could move Smith to LT, and Free to RT where he could actually be a pro-bowler. Holland can stay where he's at, plug in a Center and Guard, and in a year or 2, you have a DOMINANT offensive line, and even better, a YOUNG offensive line that will be together a long time.

We have dynamic positions covered. 2 Dynamic receivers in Dez and Austin and a GREAT 3rd receiver in Robinson. A Dynamic future HOF Tight End. 2 Dynamic Runners in DeMarco and Felix. An amazing FB, if you can call a FB amazing.

A Dynamic kicker and punter. A dynamic pass rusher, a great ILB, great corner in Jenkins, great safety in Sensabaugh, so get both of these lines up to star quality and sit back and enjoy the show. Oh yeah, a DYNAMIC Quarterback!!!! What was I thinking?

In Week 6, he was called for a false start and holding.

Are those the only two so far?



Are you sure bout that, Willis?

Like I said, I never hear his name being called.

I think this is a wise post. People don't want to see more linemen taken high in the draft, but take a look at what Romo and Murray can do with great linemen, they would be unstoppable with a DOMINANT line. If I'm Jerry, I look at my roster and know that I'm basically there. We can find another corner in FA, and a LB. We can get more defensive linemen from the third round on.

Go after the best GUARD in the 1st, and the best CENTER in the second, and watch this offense morph into a Super Bowl Dynasty.

I dunno.

You have two young guards in Nagy and Arkin who both showed some promise.

I just can't see the Cowboys pulling the trigger in the 1st round for a guard.

Based on the generally sorry play of the DE's lately, I think a 3-4 DE is probably right up there as far as need... Not that I'm saying that drafting for need is a good idea. I just think DE, safety, OLB and maybe even corner could all be likely 1st round selections based on who gets signed, released or simply leaves the Cowboys via free agency.

Also, hopefully, we have coaches that can get the best out of all this talent.


Yeah, if you sit back and really look at this team, we gots us some studs, bro!

Yes....there are other positions of need, and like you, I would love to have someone opposite Ware that has the same kind of skillz that Ware has. What a player he is...

This team has high hopes for Kowalski, Arkin, Parnell and Nagy. If one of these players turns into a solid starter, our OL could be in good shape for many years.

 

[jblaze2004]

idk i kind of think we need to search for a center kind of more than a Guard. Unless nagy or arkin can move to center because costa is giving up too much ground in pass protection. He is also one of the reasons we have to rely on the outside run so much. We cannot run up the middle because costa gets blown back and the defender easily sheds his block.

When i saw coefield with one arm toss costa around like a child yesterday I just shook my head and said WE NEED A CENTER.

When I watched that play, I thought that Smith did a good job on Kerrigan. He got his hands on him and road him wide all the way. The problem on that play, as I saw it, was that Tony was drifting in the pocket. When Tony dropped, he was drifting to his left and that allowed Kerrigan to catch him. Tony had plenty of room to step up in the pocket and avoid that sack but he didn't do it. He must have been waiting for somebody to clear cause he could have easily avoided that sack I thought. I honestly thought that Kerrigan's sack was more on Tony then it was on Smith. JMO.

I guess I'd have to re-watch it then. I just remembered watching the replay during the game and thought Kerrigan got by him pretty quickly and that it was on Tyron.

IDK I rather be safe than sorry. Could end up with another costa experiment.
Best case: we draft a center and let them battle at guard, best man wins. Or we draft a guard and let them battle at center. We might can pawn the odd man for a draft pick if we choose to do so

Worst case: those guys turn out to be just back ups but since we drafted a starting caliber guard then we saved our butts.

I love arkins mean streak though. I hope he pans out. We could use a mean olineman. (Do u remember the crushing block arkin made in preseason on tanners helmetless run, I loved it BOOM).

 

[JerryFan]

I didn't think that at all. Kerrigan got around him pretty quickly on that play.

watch it again and it's clearly a coverage sack. Tony had at least 5 seconds to get the ball off if not alil more.

 

[sago1]

It was our OL coach Houck who said something similar to that. He didn't say Smith played as good as Larry but that he had the talent potential to maybe someday be that good & Houck should know since he was our OL coach back then.

 

[Texas_Pete]

If I'm Jerry, I use my first two picks on the best OG and C available. Even may give up a 4th to move up in the 2nd to make sure we get our guy.

I think some of the holes defensively can be addressed with relatively cheap FA signings.

I love this post. Our skill players are set in Romo, Witten, Dez, Miles, Murray, Felix, and hopefully, Robinson. In order to maximize our skill players, we need a studly OL.

Oh, that was who it was? Well, he might be on to something.

And, the dude is just a baby! A damn 20 year old baby playing a mean mans game!

Ding ding ding!!! Everybody seems to be forgetting we just drafted two guards! We're not going to take a guard before round 3. However, I would not be surprised to see us target a Center very early in the draft. Costa won't be cut but he needs competition.

On this board if Romo hasn't gotten rid of the ball by the time he finishes his back-pedal it is a coverage sack because the OL did its job of retarding the DLs pass rush to the speed of his drop back.

 

[Eskimo]

Go back and re-watch the game.

The ball snaps at 2:12.

At 2:10 you can see Romo start to duck because he feels Kerrigan bearing down on him after cleanly getting around Smith.

Smith falls on him at 2:09.

If Smith hadn't been so cleanly beat I think Romo could have stepped up or tried to escape or even tried to get the ball off. Because Smith was beat so cleanly and Kerrigan was coming in on him so fast the only thing Romo could do was duck to the ground to avoid getting jacked up and fumbling.

Maybe if that play goes off without a hitch Romo can deliver the ball right away to his first read. However, that didn't happen and then he had to take the sack.

There is no way he had 5 seconds no matter how liberally fast you want to count on that play. Just watch the play clock.

 

[Cowboys22]

Not really. Smith blocked him well but Romo held the ball a little longer than typical and never stepped up in the pocket. He could block Kerrigan exactly like he did for the next 100 plays and not give up a sack.

Pure nonsense.

Yes, if the play works perfectly and he delivers the ball to his first read.

Romo was ducking at the 2-second mark on that play because of how quickly Kerrigan was closing in on him after cleanly beating Smith.

No matter how badly you want to spin it, Kerrigan had his way with Smith on that play.

I think you may be off a couple of seconds here but please post a video so we can all see.

Smith was not cleanly beat if Romo stepped up instead of to the left he would have still been blocking Kerrigan.
