Tyron Smith

[links18]

He has been pretty horrid this year. What's his deal? Is it:

1.) Nagging injuries?
2.) Complacency?
3.) Lack of motivation from the coaches?
4.) Declining skills?

1 and 4

 

[Zekeats]

1,2,3,4

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

His back is the only concern we’ve ever had, so I’m guessing it’s that

 

[CyberB0b]

He's the oldest 27 year old I have ever seen.

 

[unionjack8]

Garrett's message isnt getting across.
He has lost the offense like wade lost his d in 2010(?)

 

[sean10mm]

There's no reason to think he's suddenly become a bad person so I'm gonna say it's 1 and 4.

Came into the league at 19? Wear and tear taking its toll.....

 

[J_Allen]

We need to move on after this season.

He looks like he lost much of his flexability and can’t bend like he used too.

Definitely. He looks old and stiff.

Now we know why subpar Randy Gregory was beating him like a drum in camp

He’s making mental mistakes so I’ll go with 2.

Physically he looks fine.

 

[Bullflop]

I'd guess it's #1 and perhaps #4, due to his back problems that have caused his skills to decline, which is #4.

As I recall, I he had a shoulder problem that nagged him for a while, too. Not sure if it's a factor now, though.

The grind of pro football is enough to make any OT's back decline. I believe he's still a conscientious player.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Maybe he has lost interest because he knows the coaches have no clue how to help an offense with play design.

 

[texbumthelife]

"Horrid"? Really?

Does this board even have a reaction if it's not a gross overreaction?

Tyron has been a little stiff this year, but he's been far from horrid. It's not his fault the QB holds the ball too long, that the routes take all day to develope, that the QB has absolutely no pocket awareness...

This place is absolute madness right now. We have enough legitimate issues without people pulling stuff out of their *****.

FTR, Tyron has ALWAYS had issues with mental mistakes even when he was hands down the best LT in the game. He's had false start issues his entire career.

The grind of professional football is enough to cause one's health to decline. I think he's still a devoted player.

He’s making mental mistakes so unless he has Alzheimer’s his age isn’t an issue and injuries aren’t an issue.

That would be your conclusion, not mine. You don't know any more than anyone else who's guessing. There's a fine line between deciphering if it's physical or mental. Difficulty or reluctance in carrying out certain physical motions can easily be misleading. So can reading someone's mind.

sad but true

The Seahawks had Dak's cadence down and were getting off the ball quicker than the Ts. Not that coaching or QB play would be able to counteract that stuff.
