Houston's pass rush doesn't have a clear home-run hitter, but they have a solid two-deep rotation. That may not be enough for Salyer to stick at left tackle long-term, but he is going to need to make it work for the rest of this season. Still, the national title-winning Georgia Bulldogs trusted Salyer at left tackle for two seasons, and he showed great anchor and violent, active hands. Pair that with his tight, sometimes sluggish footwork and it's not hard to understand why he was expected to move inside in the pros. He is a bit short for a left tackle at 6-foot-3 and his 33⅝-inch arms are not ideal either. Geno Smith needs to find and pick on Amani Oruwariye the same way an eight-year-old might single out an ant with a magnifying glass under the hot sun.Ĭoming out of Georgia, some expected Salyer to kick inside to guard. Oftentimes I expect a cornerback to have a big game, or a good cornerback to be tasked with carrying the burden of the rest of the secondary.
Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions-Sunday, 1 p.m.Įvery other time a cornerback has been featured in this column, it has been for positive reasons. Peters needs to shape up quickly or the Cowboys are going to be stuck relying on Matt Farniok, which is the exact scenario they are trying to avoid by moving Peters inside. While they win more with length and strength, both Allen and Payne have enough quickness and flexibility to make Peters uncomfortable if they get put into any one-on-one situations. Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne are one of the nastiest interior duos in the league. If, or however much, Peters plays on Sunday, he will be tested.
