"Going into the Detroit game, I still had questions about Tyler Guyton's talent in his second season. Was he developing quickly enough? Was he reliable week to week? But the moment he wasn't out there on the left side, every bit of doubt disappeared. When Guyton wasn't out there, the Cowboys' didn't just struggle, it seemed like everything fell apart. This game didn't expose Guyton. Detroit exposed how badly this offensive line needs him."
"I know Nathan Thomas was thrown into a tough assignment, but the performance he had was more than a rough outing. We watched Thomas allow one sack, two hits, five hurries, and eight total pressures. The team as a whole gave up 22 pressures; Thomas alone accounted for 36.36% of them. His 16.3 PFF pass-blocking grade matched the tape, he had late feet, delayed recovery, and he allowed the edge to collapse before plays could develop."
Tyler Guyton's absence exposed how critical he is to the Cowboys' offensive line cohesion and pass protection. Nathan Thomas allowed one sack, two hits, five hurries, and eight total pressures, accounting for 36.36% of team pressures and earning a 16.3 PFF pass-blocking grade. Terence Steele allowed one sack, two hits, three hurries, and six pressures, accounting for 27.27% of team pressures and posting a 33.1 pass-blocking grade. The tackles combined for 63.64% of the team's 22 pressures, contributing to five sacks, four hits, and 15 hurries. Persistent pressure kept Dak under constant duress and collapsed the pocket from both edges.
