"I know this, when we have those three inside guys (Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker) playing together, it's one of our greatest strengths. So do we kinda want to soften one of the things we're really good at to try to make up at another position? I think in an ideal world, no."
"Adams added that he thinks the Cowboys needed to move Smith last year to get their five best offensive linemen on the field. But he also is in favor of giving Guyton more time to put together a full, healthy season at tackle with Smith remaining inside."
The Dallas Cowboys face offensive line consistency issues, with offensive coordinator Klayton Adams addressing the debate over Tyler Smith's positioning. Smith, a Pro Bowler and All-Pro guard, was moved to tackle during the 2025 season's final games. Adams prefers keeping Smith at guard alongside interior linemen Smith, Cooper Beebe, and Tyler Booker, viewing this trio as one of the team's greatest strengths. He questions whether weakening a strong position to address another is strategically sound. Adams suggests the Cowboys should give tackle Guyton more opportunity to develop while maintaining Smith's guard position, though concerns exist about contingency plans if Guyton underperforms or sustains injury.
