Would it be wise to put Tyler Smith at tackle?

[Coogiguy03]

We know he played tackle in college, I feel he's grown nicely into a guard. If things changed for whatever reason, do you think he'd do good or would it be a curve going back out to tackle? Please give me your thoughts on this

 

[nycowboyfan]

He’s a great guard. A good tackle. Leave him where he is. Resign Tyron. Go year to year. MUST draft a center.

 

[CATCH17]

If Tyron leaves and you can’t get a tackle then obviously you put him there.

 

[fivetwos]

I’d put him at LT now, with Bass at LG and not look back, but that’s not a popular opinion amongst those who figure Ball and/or Waletzko are “close.”

LOL

 

[Kwyn]

We need good guards. I say leave him where he is.

 

[Big_D]

I think it's easier and cheaper to find a guard at this point than replace your LT considering where they are in the draft. If you feel one of your depth guys can step up, but I just don't see it. I think Smith would be the best option, then you can find good interior linemen.

Tyron missing one game was a fluke. Never going to happen again. Move forward.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Yes he was better at LT to me. The Cowboys would be a much better running team if they play TYLER at LT. Save the money from TYRON and sign an impact starter on defense. What has Dallas ever won with Tyron playing?

Give me Tyler-Bass-?-Martin-Steele
Need to draft a Center with in top 2 rounds.

 

[Ring6]

do FA then draft, then see where you are. His flexibility in this case allows for this.

I’d leave him at G mostly because of the penalty issue. A move outside probably only makes that worse.

I think Jerry leaves him at G for another year because it’ll save him a few bucks on the extension that could come after this season.

It depends on what the draft plan is. Supposedly it’s easier to find guards than tackles later in the draft. I personally think we need a center more than anything along the lines. Then again it sounds like this is a deep tackle draft and you might get another Tyler to plug and play at left tackle.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I say just keep him at guard

Yep.
Spot on.
It's why he was drafted.
Could care less if he's an excellent guard.
Good Left Tackles are much harder to find than guards.
Tyler has proven he can play left tackle.
Dragging out the whole Tyron situation is only wasting time.

Bass is closer in opinion but if Tyler gets moved to tackle it must be permanent.

Whatever it takes to play our best 5 on the field. I don't see Tyrone playing anywhere other than LT. So we will know soon enough. He has stated he wants to resign before free agency.

IDK it's nice to have movable pieces along the OL, we need C and L T .
Have to answer this question in May

I think that is why Barton from Duke is so intriguing. He can play all 5 spots, but is better suited inside.

That depends on who we have available. We'll have to see what the draft and free agency brings us before that question can be answered.

"I'd put him at center and leave him there"

 

[JW82]

I thought he was going to be a great LT. Thats where I'd have him.
