Twitter: Tyron's penalties

[texbumthelife]

Tyron gets called for things simply because NFL refs are so young and inexperienced now they don't believe one man can manhandled another like he does. It's egregious.

Meh, it's Dak's fault.

 

[Tussinman]

What crazy is he's supposedly a "penalty machine" yet all these pro bowl caliber left tackles (Bakirahiti, Penn, Lewan, Whitworth, Leno) all have more penatlies than him........ (lol)

 

[Tussinman]

For as respected as Tyron is he sure gets some of the worst calls against him.

Whats crazy is even with the questionable calls against him there's still over a handful of pro bowl LT's this year that have more penalties than him

 

[Tussinman]

well i still take that monster over any one else

He's currently ranked higher than 7 out of the 8 LT's that made last years pro bowl.

Tyron isn't a top 50 player in the NFL anymore but he's still a high tier left tackle. Hell just look at are freaking division (Trent Williams is refusing to play, Peters is more banged up than Tyron and this will probably be his last year, and Nate Solder is arguably the most overpaid player in the entire NFL and is about to give up his 10th sack of the year).

I laugh at the whole "uhhh Tyrons done we need to trade him and cut ties" narrative that gets thrown around here (yeah lets cut arguably the 3rd best LT in the NFC, great idea )

Last thing this team needs to do is trade off Smith, save some money, and end up in the Green-Petitti purgatory.
Definitely agree about investing and grooming a new LT but I would just keep Smith till the new guy as shown enough to roll with him.

I don't see McG as his replacement, but that's just a guess as he played C and G at Penn State.

Oh God ..Pettiti...still causes me anxiety ..especially living in DC and him acting as a turnstile against them in 05 ...to get eliminated from the playoffs....one of the worst losses to them...same year as the two Santana Moss bombs with just minutes left...

Untimely at that. Last one that comes to mind was vs the Pats when Gallup has the pass for a first down and it was immediately called back due to 77.

Yeah that’s very odd for someone as decorated as he is.

Yeah that is crazy especially since I don’t think some of the penalties should be called against him.

The guy is just too much of a beast and makes some of the opposing players look like rag dolls, so it must be a penalty.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: sometimes it just looks like a penalty with Tyron because he beats them so bad it's like an adult pushing around a small child.

Was just about to write this.

 

[beware_d-ware]

It is hard to play on Sunday when you consistently miss practice. Smith was a great player. Either the coaches allow him "rest" time or his back is too sore to practice. He either needs to be all in or, if he can't take the practice, he needs to go away.

Too many comfortable players in Dallas.

A hurt Tyron is still 10x better than a healthy Cam Fleming. There's a reason he keeps getting sent out there.

 

[MarcusRock]

The vast majority of those were holds.

People confuse “aaahhh, I’ve seen worse” with what’s actually a penalty.

You’re never allowed to hook a guy across the shoulders/neck and it not be a penalty.

Well actually you can and the rule exception the OP cites is one such case. People whined about that play Wentz made against us one Sunday night game that a hold should have been called on the below pic but Wilson used that same rip technique which is an exception. What this tweet guy doesn't say is that you can't take away a defender's feet from him. Once that happens it IS a hold and that happened on a few of those Smith plays. Wilson never had his feet taken away by the way.

Fix was in during that game. Pretty damn obvious.

 

[InTheZone]

Tyron is so good the refs call penalties on him just because

I agree with that, and on that note, it looked like 3 were legit.

He should demonstrate on each of them before the games.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

The only consistency about Tyron's penalties is that they occur on a big play!

Seems like more.

I wondered about that. Never heard of the exception before, but I didn't see how you could call a penalty for holding on the olineman as the dlineman ripped through.

Agreed. Fleming is terrible. Smith is paid to be a big star though. He is a team leader. Guy is killing them with these stupid penalties.

Always at the worst times..

That’s all that matter. They always call these flags at the most worst possible times.
