Tyron Smith wins a rare award for an OLineman (Offensive player of the week)

Offensive linemen are almost always overlooked when the NFL hands out its Player of the Week awards. But Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith was too good to ignore on Sunday.
The NFL has named Smith the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after a great game against the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday. Smith had a great game individually (a highlight was the block that sprung Dallas’s longest run of the game, a 38-yard scamper by Joseph Randle off the left tackle) and the Cowboys’ offensive line had a great game collectively, as Tony Romo was sacked only once.
Smith is the first lineman to win an Offensive Player of the Week award since Chiefs guard Brian Waters got the award in 2004.

Good to hear - OL are so devalued as far as recognition goes in this fantasy football offensive stats era...

He's such a beast.

That's pretty awesome.
Zack Martin is getting some buzz as OROY too.

He's really good. Great pick by Jerry and Jr. fwiw.

I guess not all USC offense players flop in the NFL

I know they're good and all, but this "The Cowboys OL is incredible" talking point on all the networks is a little overplayed and overhyped--just like everything that involves the Cowboys. But hey, at least it's more refreshing than the stupid annual "Is Tony Romo elite?" discussion

the line is good and still very young but they are not yet proven as the GOAT line--that would be the 93 OLINE for the boys.
This line plays well as a unit but lets face it, Doug Free is still the RT and they have to give him lots of help. They excel at Run Blocking but the only elite pass blocker is Smith

Cowboys are set with him on board. Dude shuts down his side of the line

If only he could have also blocked the mall's security cameras

Parnell replaces free for a few weeks, and hopefully he can pass block well enough to keep the job permanently.
