Why Cowboys Tyler Smith is the Best LG in the NFL

[@Don-Yeti]

He's found his home playing in a phone-booth at LG 💯

[@frenchtoastmafia1]

1:56 I’m not saying Tyler is Zack Martin yet… but isn’t it so cool how the two are in the same position here and moving up to the 2nd level. It’s beautiful

[@anthonybrown429]

In my opinion...Tyler is definitely better at run blocking than Zack. He looks really good here. Cowboys got a good one. Now they need to find a tackle that can replace Tyron Smith.

[@eddiejones8540]

@@anthonybrown429 zack is a get in the way guy.....work in tandem dude...Tyler is a dawg. Tyron is fine as long as they dont waste him in practice??? Asim is going to be the athletic replacement jus need to get his grown man up to par...but dont count out MattW...once he proves healthy and a lil nasty seasoning.....73 just leave him alone...for next 15 years.

Tyler Smith is the man. He’s an absolute DAWG. I hated the pick because of what was still on the board when Dallas drafted him, but damn this was such a smart pick smh. He’s a stud.

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

He was my pet cat in that draft and Cowboy fans hated on me hard for that. We got him though, need more help now. 2 more !

[@jackscalibur]

This guy went to my HS. It's crazy that he's now in the NFL.

[@angelrosario626]

Let you tell it.

[@michaelbrown7561]

What a great pick in last year's draft. Now, if the Cowboys draft a promising OT in the 2024 Draft then this line can thrive.

[@tonyb460]

Dallas gonna need to draft TWO tackles. Unless they're comfortable with Steele

[@barryirvin2417]

They are comfortable with Steele

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

Nice breakdown of my favorite player. I caught so much hell for him being my top player I wanted(within reach) in Dallas from that draft class but he's what we needed. Shouldn't have stopped there though.

[@zachg5356]

Get you a jersey brother. I bought a David DeCastro the year the steelers picked him for those exact reasons.

[@bv3706]

Tyler Smith is amazing! 💙

[@hjk3351]

It would be excellent if Tyler ends up being this generations Larry Allen, as he is wearing his number after all

[@coganblaster]

That's a lot to live up to. LA was one of the greatest, most dominating OL in NFL history.

[@picklikeapro6952]

I hope Tyron smith has a couple more healthy seasons in him but if not I hope he draft a left tackle in the first round to keep Tyler smith at left guard.

[@troyreynolds7943]

Exactly where we need to keep him L.G. we are going to be facing some very strong I.D.L. for yrs to come. Tyler and Tyron are road graders in the blocking game and top 3 to 5 in pass pro. Left side of our O.L. is playing at Pro Bowl and All Pro level. We have our All Pro L.G. for the next 10yrs hopefully. L.G. is our only O.L.position we don't need to move or replace next yr. Would love to sign him long term before 2024 begins

[@vince2565]

LT is more valuable than LG. And Tyron is made out of glass. But, I have to admit that you have a good point that we need an equalizer against Carter, Dexter Lawrence and Hargreave (49ers). We can’t play with a backup LT in the playoffs (against Bosa, Hutchinson, Reddick etc), if Tyron is injured. I guess we need more depth there. And I don’t get why O’Cyrus Torrence went to the Bills one pick after the Cowboys picked Schoonmaker. That was a horrible mistake in my opinion.

[@troyreynolds7943]

@@vince2565 IMO tackle gets paid more true enough but G/C keeps quick pressure off our QB and run game. Personally if I'm building my line I'm building inside out. We have seen time and again Steele allowing pressure on the right still allows Dak to move left or step up if the middle hadnt collapsed. We definitely need 3 O.L. even if Bass, Richards and Hoffman move up. We will need depth. I'm no coach or G.M. but I agree I felt like we should've drafted O.L. in the second rather it was T/G or G/C. Schoonmaker is already older than most and again IMO we had some options on the O.L. I was already sold on Ferguson being our T.E. 1 I understand that is a risk but not as big as the risk we took on Schoonmaker with a 2nd. No matter how we look at it health contracts age or performance we need 3 starters and/or depth.

He will still be on his rookie contract and he isn't going anywhere trust me

Great breakdown TY Brother

[@DougBland-z1w]

The crazy thing is he wasn’t a terrible LT buts a great LG

[@jgrau5089]

Wasn't terrible? He played over 1000 snaps as a rookie at LT without practicing for it in pre-season and was still pretty good at it,

[@Don-Yeti]

He's only going to get better. Dude is so young yet so proven.

[@samslop]

He is going to get better

[@stevedemarest276]

Nice analysis. Would love to hear your opinion on what's eating Mr. Steele... other than DEs.

[@jgrau5089]

Remember he had a serious ACL injury? It takes time to regain form, he won't be last year's Steele until next year, but he's stil the best option at RT.

[@nestorlugo.]

This is amazing and reminds me of ol'larry But hey on the other hand you should should some bad reps where he gets beat so we can see the full picture 📸 😂

[@jeremyx3758]

Yeah, ppl doubted him and the draft capital invested in him Yet hindsight, What those thought we had in Tyler BaddAzz... We have in Tyler Smith 😊 And btw, Tyler Biadasz is farrrrr above being even average

[@Toolness1]

Biadasz just needs to beef up some

[@jeremyx3758]

@@Toolness1 I agree 💯

[@KingCobra8675309]

When he sealed the linebacker, he could have went to the next level and engaged the safety. It's just not taught that way because no one expect an OL to seal a linebacker in half a second. They'll need to update their coaching for such a talent

[@MrCurodd]

After hearing about the issue with his knees I was SO concerned with this pick. But this guy had like Larry Allen strength. He just bodies everyone he faces, at any point in any game the strongest two players on the field are Tyron and Tyler Smith

[@JOGA_Wills]

Cowboys have been on fire in drafting since the almost-Manziel oopsie.... we nust have not executed in crunch time...

[@jamarcarroll5393]

I guess Smith found a permanent position where he’s most comfortable and dominant at, So I guess we will find Tyron replacement at LT maybe in next year draft or give Asim Richard a shot at it once Smith retires

[@entertained...]

it certainly doesn't hurt to practice with and be mentored by two future HOFers.

[@barryirvin2417]

In fairness he had a 3 rd round grade . You’re right though he is a monster .

[@steelboi99]

I like how he is wearing larry allens number

[@bigred9991]

Anytime the Cowboys draft an offensive lineman in the 1st or 2nd rd the rest of the league that picked in front of the Cowboys should be mad because they just missed a great offensive lineman. Its really crazy how they almost dont miss drafting lineman early.

[@Antbeast23]

But late round lineman not so much we need to draft more 2-4 round lineman

[@bigred9991]

@Antbeast23 late rd picks are much more difficult. For example early rd picks you can draft for the type of player you want them to be or hope to be. Late rd picks you're drafting them because they have 1 elite trait and you're hoping to develop another trait that has potential to be elite. It's just much more difficult to project players accurately the later in the draft you select them.

[@gmiller1524]

The O-line is starting to meld, as they find their game the whole team will get better and better!, Just need them to stay humble and focused...One game at a time.

[@rodneysnextchapter615]

But how many games will tyron be available? 😢

[@lopetta4077]

He really struggles vs Jalen Carter if he didn't get all that double team help, Tyler Smith would have been in a lot of trouble.

[@ericglenn979]

Wait, what? I've seen the breakdown Jalen Carter name was never called in that game against the eagles.

[@navyvet8798]

ummm NO

[@tonyb460]

Great battle between those 2 kids. Carter won some too. He didn't get dominated. And Carter got in on a huge play when he sacked dak on that 2nd to last drive.

[@tonyb460]

Carter put a beautiful move and got around Tyler with ease on that sack. Jalen did this a handful of times in this game but on those plays when they were 1 on 1, dak was getting rid of the ball in 1.5 seconds. Jalen carter definitely made his presence felt and still got upfield on a number of pass rushes even when double teamed. These guys are gonna be fun to watch head to head

[@lopetta4077]

Tyler won a few battles vs carter in the game against the Eagles buy I noticed Smith struggled quite a bit vs carter, the double teams helped Smith out big time.

[@mikebing1230]

Reason? He didn’t get destroyed by Jalen Carter who bullied basically everyone even zack Martin lol.

[@tonyb460]

Jalen got him a few times too. Don't leave that out. Gonna be some awesome battles between those 2 for years to come!

[@tonyb460]

Tyler vs Jordan Davis as well.

Still needs to clean up technique and penalty’s but strength and athleticism is so good
