If he wins against the latter, Guyton will likely win against the former.<\/p>\n<p>Ability isn&#8217;t the question \u2014 availability is.<\/p>\n<p>Guyton has shown he can make strides when he&#8217;s on the field, but he&#8217;s suffered injury in both of his first two seasons that has cost him significant time and, as such, a significant opportunity at gaining experience.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s made changes to both his diet and training regimen to improve durability, also noting that he&#8217;s &#8220;put on &#8220;grown man strength&#8221; for this coming season while balancing it with being technically sound against literally the most freakishly athletic pass rushers on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>From there, well, here&#8217;s how Guyton sees it through his point-of-view:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I [want to get] more technically sound, more confident in the playbook and the scheme and, overall, just a better player,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a process, of course, and we have to take it day by day, one foot in front of the other. But, at the end of the day, I&#8217;m trying to get to a certain point where I feel good about going to the season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He is also not dodging accountability or the challenge ahead. The goal for him is a simple one, even if the road to get there is anything but.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not all the way where I want to be yet, and that&#8217;s what camp is for,&#8221; he admitted. &#8220;I&#8217;m still trying to get better every single day, but it [definitely] feels like I&#8217;m going into my third year in the NFL. Things are slowing down for me and I&#8217;m learning more every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guyton is taking this all head-on, not shying away from one bit of it. What also works in his favor is the fact that, unlike his transition from Year 1 to Year 2, there is continuity within the offensive coaching staff as both offensive coordinator Klayton Adams and offensive line coach Conor Riley enter their second year with the club.<\/p>\n<p>That means the message within the learning process is consistent, versus needing to start from scratch with a new regime, as he was required to do in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re amazing, bro,&#8221; Guyton said. &#8220;Honestly, I couldn&#8217;t ask for a better staff to have around us. They&#8217;re very personable, they relate to us. \u2026 It just makes our offensive line room that much better because we can be real with each other, and that&#8217;s all you really want out of a coach: somebody just be real with you and always be honest with you, instead of just trying to show you a couple things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first step for Guyton is to make it through training camp healthy, and that competition with himself, the most important one, literally begins today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Outwardly, he&#8217;s working to stave off offensive lineman Nate Thomas, but his biggest opponent is himself and his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391262,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,123595,1090,6349,41953],"class_list":["post-391261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-featured-training-camp-central","tag-news-all-news","tag-news-patrik-walker","tag-tyler-guyton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
