Cowboys Big Move: Tyler Smith at Guard, Tyron at Left Tackle for Minicamp

It is significant Cowboys news: Now at minicamp, Tyler Smith and Tyron Smith will make some switches inside the Dallas offensive line.

FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy mentioned it in passing to open his Tuesday press conference just before the mandatory minicamp was to start here inside The Star ... but it is significant news: Today, Tyler Smith and Tyron Smith will make some switches inside the Dallas offensive line.

To us, the Cowboys' so-far work in this regard has been flying in the face of logic. Why? Because using Tyler at left tackle and Tyron at right tackle - capable as they are - likely prevents Dallas from utilizing a "Best Five'' concept in the offensive line as it would mean either Terrence Steele playing out of position (at left tackle) or Steele serving as the swing tackle, with a lesser talent being given the job at left guard.

And a "lesser talent'' - with all due respect to guys like Matt Farniok, the young journeyman who has been taking the first-team snaps at left guard in OTAs - is not the way to assemble a "Best Five.''

So, we'll look for Tyron at left tackle, where he is an all-time great, with prized youngster Tyler Smith next to him at guard. Then Tyler Biadasz at center, with All-Pro right guard Zack Martin an institution there. Steele is still rehabbing ... and he might not be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July ... so the Cowboys will grab-bag it at right tackle, with an assortment of backup candidates taking turns starting with Matt Waletzko.

It's not yet the permanent setup. But we've always thought it was the obviously smartest setup.
