"When we have those three inside guys (Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker) playing together, it's one of our greatest strengths. So do we kinda want to soften one of the things we're really good at to try to make up at another position? I think in an ideal world, no."
"You got to get these young players through start 20-25. Then you start seeing those guys kind of self-monitor and see some of their own things they need to fix or be able to help themselves a little bit. You get through that number and now you start seeing a player that's going to improve from coaching and also from self awareness."
"That's one of the things that I know Tyler Guyton has been frustrated with is he had a great offseason, he's starting training camp good, and then he's on the shelf for a little bit. And then he comes back and he's doing some good things and he's flashing, and then he's on the shelf for a little bit."
The coaching staff values maintaining their three interior offensive linemen as a foundational strength of the offense. Rather than weakening this advantage, they focus on improving tackle play by getting young players consistent opportunities. Tyler Guyton has struggled with inconsistent availability, which disrupts his development. The coaching philosophy emphasizes that young players need 20-25 starts to develop self-awareness and improve through coaching. Once players reach this threshold, they begin recognizing their own mistakes and can self-correct, accelerating their development into reliable contributors.
