Who do you have more confidence in Mazi or Guyton moving ahead?

I could see Guyton losing out to Richards

That's not happening.

 

[darthseinfeld]

That's not happening.

I know because they will just hand Guyton the job

It should happen though

To me, Guyton. Mazi reminds me of a guy who will be really good in year 5 or 6.........on another team.
Probably the Ravens.

Totally agree. More for Guyton than Mazi on the pure coaching side because I think what he needs most is learning and coaching and developing and I think our OC is kind of an OL guru and I like what I read about our OL coach and I love how the OC says they are going to play to the players strengths not try and force them into what his vision of a blocking scheme is. With Mazi I don't think it is the coaching itself that will help as much as the scheme. For whatever reason and contrary to what we were sold when he was drafted he has showed very little strength and has trouble holding his ground and both Quinn and Zimmer's defenses needed him to stand his ground and control the gap (one or two depending on which). Eberflus is going to have more of a Marinelli scheme where Mazi is going to take on more of a penetrating role. So let's see how he does with that. He can't be worse than in the last two schemes.

When you lose 20 pounds quickly as a rookie, you lose strength. The body will eat it's own muscle. He was still trying to gain it back last year.

Guyton actually shows potential. Maxi was a bust day one, still a bust.

A redraft on Mazi would land him as an UDFA.

A redraft on Guyton would drop him to the 3rd round imo.

Both bad picks, but Guyton has potential to get into NFL starter caliber. Mazi is crap.

Mazi Smith has 830 career snaps. John Ridgeway has 900

That is crazy

I really did not like either pick and nothing they have done since joining the Cowboys has changed that.

Guyton has never looked like an NFL tackle to me. I think the only chance he has is to move him to guard and hope he gets better by next season.

You might be right, but we got spoiled by Tyler Smith. Guyton was raw and we didn't put him in a great spot. He also supposedly didnt have the work ethic. I think part of drafting Booker is to have a leader who demands others be accountable. We will see.

Smith and I dont think its close. Smith actually showed consistent improvement to the point you can project him as an average starter. I think he has just become the forums whipping post. Guyton get healthy DNP's late in the season. Seemed tl confirm reports that he was soft. If a real competition was held, I could see Guyton losing out to Richards

I agree, must have legitimate competition and don’t hand out starting jobs cause they were high picks. If Richards plays better, he should start
