Do you think the new offensive line coach along with the new offensive coordinator will help Tyler Guyton play up to his potential? I am a big Sooners fan, and I believe in Guyton. – Jerry Spain/Frisco, TX
Patrik: I believe it will help, but not as much as he can help himself, and he’s taken steps toward the latter. Reworking his entire diet, hitting the weight room and conditioning hard, training in the rain (no, seriously) and working with future Hall of Fame offensive tackle Tyron Smith make for a potent concoction of variables that have a great likelihood of paying off for Guyton in a major way — as will another year of learning how to play alongside All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith. There’s no denying, in my opinion, that Guyton has the chops to be a dominant starter in the league. I’m of the belief that some, most actually, simply have to experience the NFL before they can know how to adapt to what it brings. If Guyton’s work ethic, as insanely strong as it is, can pay off in Year 2, there will be a lot of crow served to a lot of people outside of this building.
