On Friday afternoon, Tyler Guyton was formally unveiled as the newest player to join the Dallas Cowboys.
He will soon begin training to assume a starting role on an offensive line that is in desperate need of quick help.
Although Guyton has protected his quarterback’s blindside in 14 starts, that experience was gained while playing right tackle for a left-handed quarterback at Oklahoma. Because of this, there’s a feeling within the building that, coming into his rookie season, the switch to the other side will go well.
Head coach Mike McCarthy said that “it will be an easy transition for him as far as the responsibility of playing the backside of the quarterback.” “The footwork and stuff he was going to do anyhow are exactly like anything else.nonetheless, what a pick for us, man.”
Guyton is aware that the shift will require a lot of work as he attempts to secure a starting position on the offensive line in 2024 next to Tyler Smith, the team’s preferred left guard.
Guyton described the elements that will go into the maneuver as “just refining my technique, repetition over and over.” “Working on it so much that you are unable to make a mistake. It just involves adjusting your technique, footwork, and hands while also coordinating the plays within the run.”
He feels that his practice and game experience since the beginning of his collegiate career at left tackle has prepared him to take advantage of the opening on the Cowboys’ offensive line, even though he started his college career on the defensive side at TCU before waiting to get his chance on the Sooners offensive line.
“I’ve been playing left tackle since I’ve gotten into college,” he stated. “I think my game is better at left tackle, and I’m more at ease there anyhow. Making the changeover ought to be simple.
