Who will be hosting the Bengals week? Two of the 2022 regular
season, after they face the Buccaneers Tyron Smith,
he went down yesterday
with an apparent, knee injury in there, was some reporting,
you know what is it going to be? Is he okay? Walked out of
the building under his own power, the late word from ESPN
is Tyron Smith. Could miss multiple months with a torn
left hamstring. Like this is hey
this is where we see
the reality of football season and not.
We're not even into the regular season, yet that's what starts
chipping away at these teams were on paper, everybody's
feeling good, where 00 glass is half-full, here we go, right?
Yeah, here we go.
Guys, get injured
and a potentially changes
everything, their longtime Cornerstone left tackle. Now,
gone possibly from multiple months and the Cowboys have to
adjust on the Fly Chris. Yeah, they do. It's a big blow.
I mean again, it's a team. That's
got a lot of changing pieces here the last few year. I mean,
this last year in the offseason You know, Michael Gallup of
course. Yes, he's not going to be like full. Ready hundred
percent ready to go? No, Amari Cooper,
right, Cedric Wilson gone. So
and then, you know, the the offense of line that
was so great. Three four, five years ago, when we just went,
oh my gosh. When they go on the field just forget it. They're
going to dominate you. They don't have that stigma anymore.
You know we discussed this a lot during the year last year.
I thought their offensive line was this slightly overrated
I did. No. And Tyrone Smith is a guy that hey, it's getting to
that part of the career where, you know, things like this
start to happen. I mean, what was it, was it two years ago
where he missed the majority of
the year because of the back injury,
or maybe it was three.
But, you know, it's, it's, it's seems like it's always a little
bit of managing him and his health here. The last few
years, and can he get it going?
So, this is a huge blow to their football team. Especially in a,
you'll look at it and you go,
well, I think they got to rely on
Dak Dak Prescott. And there are throwing a big Leti at least in
my opinion to start the year. It seems like that's what they
were last year and I don't know. I got to see it to
believe it. If the Run game was going to be different or like
it was,
we we talked about three or four years ago. So
little scary from that standpoint definitely and did
not have him, you know, not that he's the best tackle in
football but you know, he's somewhere
six between 10, you know, when he's healthy and hitting on all
cylinders are so that is a big blow to this Cowboy football
team
and now it's Tulsa offensive lineman Tyler's It's not Tyrant
Smith, Tyler Smith. Yeah. Potentially
steps in at at left tackle, they have an ongoing
competition
at left guard, right with my God, Hannah Smith and Connor
McGovern. So McGovern guard, Tyler Smith kicks out to left
tackle. Potentially, there's not a whole lot. You can do at
this point. I was on radio in Pittsburgh yesterday and
they're fretting about the
offense of line. And they asked me, well,
are there guys out there that they can get? No,
no, any team that has good offensive.
One big key, but keeps them, right? They hoard them, right?
They're not going to let him get away. They're not going to
cut them. Maybe trade them. But even then you'd have to have
eight, nine, ten guys that are pretty good. You know, you need
them
because guys are going to get injured through the course of
the season. So you just have to make chicken salad, you got to
coach him up, you got to get him ready to go, right? And you
hope, you come up with a combination of five, that will
stay together and healthy and get better as the season
unfolds, because
there's, there's usually a pretty clear connection between
the teams that are able to have. Consisted healthy
effective, offensive line and who's on the fringes to get
into the Super Bowl and
they're going to have to they're going to have to hope
that Tyler Smith is ready to go. He's going to be going at
left guard or left tackle but he's going to get plugged in
right away and if he can pass the test,
Jerry Jones all look like a genius for going offensive line
and specifically for going for Tyler Smith with the 24th pick
in this year's. Yeah, well,
you know, first off they got the bucks a week one. So this
is a horrible injury. Right. The Bucks. I mean, the Bucks
who have more big bad mofos on the defense online than just
about anybody in the game.
So and then, oh, hey, you got the Bangles, who
pressured the quarterback just about as good as anybody in
football, you know, last year. And then, you know, you get
into week 4 of the Commander's, we know they got a pretty good
front for the Rams. Yeah.
Welcome to Aaron Donald building Eagles.
Whoa. And you know, another team might be in
the conversation for one of the better D lines in the game so
that's where it hurts. The Cowboys
and Mike, Tyler Smith. I Of this kid coming out of Tulsa.
Love them in person at the combine,
he is a killer but very raw, I mean very raw and I don't know.
I'm not sold that. He can definitely be the guy that can
kick out to left tackle II. Don't know. It's just one of
those where I say, I gotta see it to believe it. I got to
think maybe there might be somebody else on the roster
that, you know, they might want to go with their in this
situation. And but the problem is,
you know, there's there's there's another rookie that
they drafted out of North Dakota State who maybe has
a chance to be that guy.
And then everybody else is kind of,
you know, unproven Commodities, really?
And that's where it's yeah. This is gonna be interesting. It is,
you know, now you'll wonder you go, man. Well, I wonder how
they feel about letting Lyle Collins out the door now and
all that, but this is going to be something to watch for, in
my opinion, especially week one
with, you know, again,
bucks d-line. That's 89. Deep and can send fresh bodies at
you all game long.
Matt, well, let's go, well, let's go right back up. Yeah,
officially to tire and Smith at left tackle,
Tyler Smith isn't even in the depth chart there, but that's
what caused you to go back. And you look at your moving parts,
right? See what you can do and who you can plug in there and
who can maybe pull it off and you don't have a whole lot of
time
to do it. It's better than happened before the season
then right at the
cusp of the Season, Orion week, one early in the game and then
you have to figure it out on the fly, at least they have
a couple of weeks to come.
up with a strategy
for putting someone at left tackle in lieu of Tyron Smith who
again reportedly could miss multiple months with a torn
left, hamstring suffered in practice yesterday,
