Tyron Smith was ELITE in 2023! Can he help take the Jets to the Super Bowl? | Film Breakdown 🎥

Tyron Smith is still a superstar the former Dallas Cowboy now New York Jet is going to be a pivotal piece for Gang Green in 2024 so let's take a look at the all 22 and I'll show you why the 33-year-old has still got it let's go what is going on everybody it's Luke here from play like a jet and we're back in the film room with another all 22 breakdown and today we're looking at Tyron Smith and boy was I impressed when the Jets signed him in free agency I thought okay he's an older tackle he's an upgrade over beckton but how much has he got left I couldn't believe how effective Smith was in 2023 have a look at the numbers on your screen right now one sack allowed he had the best pressure rate percentage in the NFL last year in pass blocking despite being the third most dependent on one on-one Blocker in the NFL ridiculous performance from Tyron Smith in his age 33 season so how good was he does the film match up you better believe it does here's the first rep against Washington left hand side of your screen Tyron Smith is number 77 you're going to see him explode out of his stance but look at the hand utilization and that snatch trap to finish is nasty he's got the best hands in the game look how he has the initial onam stab he gets swiped Away by the defensive lineman we're going to grip on with the right arm snatch trap and throw that man on the ground this is violent this is technically proficient it's everything you want from a left tackle in the NFL Tyron Smith was filthy and this isn't me picking two or three reps guys this is what it looked like week in week out on a snapto snap basis I just mentioned hand utilization here it is again it's a theme throughout Tyron Smith's film against Kavon Tibido one-onone I want you to watch the hand usage of number 77 how he replaced with that right arm and Tibido gets nowhere near Dak Prescott it is so nuanced we have a little left arm stab feel it out make the rusher keep his distance lands that straight underneath the chin and look how quick he is to clamp with the right hand he replaces it after it gets swiped Away by Tibido he's in the dominant position and just washes him around the corner it is so easy it's so smooth it doesn't matter that he's getting on in age Tyron Smith made it look effess and it's all all about the technique and the understanding of what the Rush is trying to do this is teaching tape but he's also powerful and he's got hand grip strength this rep against the Jets and Jermaine Johnson it's a great example of that look how he just overwhelms JJ at the point of attack there's nowhere that Johnson can go Tyron Smith just engulfs him JJ tries to bend around the corner go for that little cross chop Tyron Smith is so patient look how he waits for daine Johnson to shoot his hands to get out in front of his pads and then bang clamp him down and just wrestle him around the corner that's not a hold don't worry about hands being on the outside as soon as you dip and rip around the corner you give that right up and Tyron Smith wins the one-on-one battle against Jermaine Johnson and I mentioned it in the intro Tyron Smith was asked to block one-on-one on an island more than almost anybody in the NFL look how effortlessly he does it on this occasion against the Panthers and a wide n Russia Tyron Smith's anchor on this rep is absolutely ridiculous look at him drop that base and just stand up the Russia this is perfect guys the Russia has zero impetus he goes nowhere after contact look at that straight upright has no power has no leverage it is a dominant win for Tyron Smith Dak Prescott had so much trust in him he had so much time to throw the football because of his left tackle this is last year this was consistent what an anchor from Tyron Smith and why not give you one more example from the same game the exact same thing from Tyron oh that base is powerful on this occasion look how he just works it through the block the little typewriter feet how he engages the lower half of his body and that makes the pass rusher stop in his tracks this is teaching tape I said it earlier and I'll say it again it doesn't get any cleaner than what ing Tyron Smith and to finish the video I wanted to take a look at a couple of examples of Tyron Smith as a run blocker look he's not as mobile as he used to be but there is still some really high level athleticism a pin pull against the Giants Tyron Smith left- hand side of your screen look at him lead the way make that block in space and the violence to finish it's something we talked about with mikai beckon a lot you want to get your man on the ground and you want to be physical I get that it's a DB I understand that but to find him into traffic great pad level and leverage and then just throw him to the ground almost off the screen that's the kind of aggression you want in the running game but I love the athleticism that lets this manifest and unfold Tyron Smith is able to execute that one-on-one block against a smaller man because he's Mobile in space has great hips and is a really fluid mover for a 300b athlete but it's not just athleticism you guys know how much I love quinnon Williams I think he's one of the best two defensive in the NFL have a look at Tyron Smith combo block him on the inside work that base through the block and then seal him to the inside on the reach this is fantastic from Tyron Smith inside the Dirty Work Not Just out in space against DBS here he is taking on quinnon who's lined up as the three technique and freeze it right here look at the technique to seal get his back to the running back and open up the lane for poad that is outstanding against the very best in the game and jets fans know EX exactly how potent Quinn and Williams can be in the running game he is versatile he's got all the skills but most importantly as I showed in the first half of the video he's going to keep Aaron roders upright so there you have it our all 22 breakdown of Tyron Smith it was so much fun to put together but I want to emphasize one more time this wasn't me cherry picking one or two plays per game Smith was right up there with the best left tackles in the game
