While the focus remains on a strong finish, the fact that this year will be over in the first week of January means Dallas really should be looking ahead to 2025.<\/p>\n<p>And that might mean getting honest about one of the Cowboys\u2019 top moves of the 2024 offseason\u2013drafting\u00a0Tyler Guyton\u00a0with a first-round pick. Guyton has been injured and was always going to be a bit of a project as he adjusted to the NFL, but when he has been on the field, his struggles are obvious.\u00a0\u00a0At Pro Football Focus, Guyton grades out with a 50.0 mark, which ranks 74th out of 80 tackles in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Guyton is only 22, and the Cowboys obviously are not going to give up on him. But they also can\u2019t go into 2025 with Guyton as their only choice on\u00a0Dak Prescott\u2018s blind side.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Could Use a Veteran LT<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s why the folks at Bleacher Report have a suggestion for Dallas: Sign veteran tackle\u00a0Cam Robinson\u00a0this offseason with an eye toward giving him the job on the left side next year, giving Guyton more time. Robinson is wrapping up a three-year, $54 million contract he signed with the Jaguars, and was traded to the Vikings at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Writes B\/R: \u201cTyler Guyton struggled this season, especially in pass protection. While the rookie could turn it around in year two, Dallas should consider bringing in a veteran for some competition at left tackle. That will help keep its Super Bowl window open and make sure Dak Prescott, who will be coming off an injury, stays upright.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cRobinson has a long track record of being a good blindside protector in the NFL. Adding him in free agency on a short-term deal would give the offense another starting option and allow Guyton another year to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tyler Guyton Having Penalty Issues<\/h2>\n<p>Guyton has struggled with penalties, getting\u00a0whistled for 12 penalties\u00a0this season despite playing only 68% of the team\u2019s snaps. Robinson, by way of comparison, has played 89% of his teams\u2019 snaps, and has committed nine penalties\u2014four of which were false starts after he went over the Minnesota, where he had to adjust to Sam Darnold\u2019s cadence.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Mike McCarthy called the Cowboys\u2019 offensive line penalties \u201calarming\u201d earlier this season. he has since baffled Cowboys fans by not starting Guyton for the past three weeks, instead using him in rotation with\u00a0Chuma Edoga. McCarthy said he is an advocate of \u201ccompetition.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XksA-q_BpeU?start=86&amp;autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBalance is great; it\u2019s healthy,\u201d\u00a0said McCarthy\u00a0last week. \u201cHealthy competition is always good, you know.
