"The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, but they did so with something interesting happening along the offensive line. Tyler Smith played left tackle. We joke about the names along the offensive line so to be clear we are saying it again. Tyler Smith played left tackle, as in the normal starting left guard (just want to be clear here)."
"Are the Cowboys no longer committed to Tyler Guyton at left tackle? Is Tyler Smith viewed as a potential future answer at left tackle? Again? Surely so because otherwise why do this? Would this information have changed anyone's stance during the Cowboys' contract negotiations with Tyler Smith a few months ago when he was paid top guard money? Does the future offensive line involve Tyler Smith at left tackle and Tyler Guyton at right tackle? In that hypothetical who would the left guard be?"
Tyler Smith, normally the Cowboys' starting left guard, played left tackle in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brian Schottenheimer announced Smith will remain at left tackle for the final two regular-season games. Tyler Guyton has been sidelined by injury, creating the need for a left tackle and the interim move. If Guyton returns, he could serve as a swing tackle and see time on the right side where Terence Steele plays. The move raises questions about long-term line construction, Smith's role as a potential future left tackle, contract implications from recent guard pay, and the identity of a future left guard.
