Nate Newton on Tyler Guyton, Cowboys Offensive Line & 2026 Expectations

Dallas Cowboys legend Nate Newton joins Jeff Cavanaugh, Jesse Holley and Clarence Hill on the DLLS Cowboys Podcast to break down what he's seeing from the Cowboys at training camp.

Newton starts with one of the biggest questions on the Cowboys' offensive line: **Tyler Guyton**. The former Cowboys offensive lineman believes Guyton has all the physical tools — the feet, length, smooth sets and hand placement — but says Year 3 is the time for him to finally put everything together mentally and become the player Dallas drafted him to be.

Newton also discusses how the Cowboys should handle the expectations that come with having a dominant offense, why self-scouting will be critical with opponents already knowing what Dallas does well, and how the offense can add wrinkles without losing its identity.

The Cowboys legend also pushes back on the idea that Dallas should be written off, arguing that fans need to give this young team — and its young defensive players — a chance to grow. He specifically talks about the expectations being placed on young players and the importance of giving them time to develop.
