00:00Yeah, year two was great.
00:16Um, I felt like, you know, it was just kind of cool to, you know, you know, play one spot.
00:20Like I got to go through training camp on one spot and like do all that.
00:24Um, just really like, I mean, I had a great, great group of guys to learn from obviously
00:29like in my, you know, my second year campaign, you know, like, like you said, I'm still continuing
00:34to learn, but like, yeah, it was, I mean, it was crazy and it was a blessing, but you
00:37know, it's something I pray for and some of my work for.
00:39So I wasn't, I can't say I'm just, you know, you don't surprise when things fall into place,
00:44but it's definitely something that, you know, I appreciate and I, you know, I'm blessed
00:47about.
00:48All right.
00:49Set us straight on this argument.
00:50We have, uh, countless times we want you playing left tackle, you know, great talent, amazing
00:57shutdown lockdown.
00:58There's a need there, tiring going.
01:00We want Tyler Smith playing left tackle, please.
01:03Cowboys do it.
01:04Tell us why we could be wrong in, in wanting that.
01:07I mean, man, we got a Tyler Guyton dog.
01:09I mean, he's a dog.
01:10I mean, there's no, he has a spot on me.
01:13He's going to lock it down.
01:14Uh, he's going to be great at the position.
01:16You know, I feel like, you know, he's trending towards kind of like what the NFL is.
01:21You got bigger, taller tackles where, you know, there are basketball players out there
01:24now.
01:25I mean, I'm a six, six, seven.
01:26It's like six, eight, six, seven.
01:27So you feel small next to him.
01:28I don't feel small.
01:29Next to that.
01:30In fact, I might be like, you know, I'd be feeling six, six sometimes, you know, it might
01:36be six, six, but, but yeah, he's just, I mean, he's great.
01:39I mean, he's great at the position.
01:40He's great for the position.
01:41And like, you know, you know, I found a solid spot, like had a great season.
01:46So I'm just going to keep stacking where I am right now, but you know, always stay ready
01:49for anything.
01:50Did you care about where you played?
01:52Did you prefer to stay at guard?
01:53I really, I was going to, I would have played anything, honestly, like, um, but you had
01:58a preference.
01:59I mean, after this past year, it was hard to make the argument, you know, to move off
02:04guard, but like, okay, like I don't want to play, like, cause I did so well and like,
02:08I'm doing so well.
02:09So like, I feel like that was an important thing for me is just to, you know, find a
02:12spot, you know, where I could grow, like, but you know, to still, you know, be ready
02:16and stuff like that.
