# Mike Moraitis: Moraitis writes that Terence Steele and Tyler Guyton will open as Dallas' starting tackles, with newly acquired Broderick Jones not posing a real threat until he gets acclimated. **Claimed:** Sep 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Moraitis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/mike-moraitis **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/brian-burns-identifies-cowboys-concern-that-giants-plan-to-exploit 2 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > For now, Steele and Guyton are going to start and won't face a real threat until Jones gets acclimated. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Terence Steele to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Terence Steele, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Guyton to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Tyler Guyton, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Terence Steele — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/terence-steele - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Tyler Guyton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyler-guyton ## What others said about the same people - Garrett Podell on Dallas Cowboys: Previewing the Week 1 'Sunday Night Football' game, the piece picks Dallas to beat New York comfortably, arguing Prescott, Lamb and Pickens will exploit the Giants' cornerbacks while the Cowboys' defense contains Jaxson Dart. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/994d94d2-7aa5-4911-8404-9efbdfc22a46 (scored 35.71) - Chris Broussard on Dallas Cowboys: Broussard took Tampa Bay over Cincinnati as his upset alert, predicted a 34-17 Cowboys win over the Giants, and had picked Dak Prescott as MVP. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/51e94822-1a3d-4d9a-bf30-f6cb6df22819 (scored 28.57) - Nick Wright on Dallas Cowboys: Wright picked Tampa Bay to beat Cincinnati outright, Philadelphia to beat Washington, Dallas to beat the Giants, and said he was one of the few nationally to pick the Chiefs to win it all. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5b52c3b5-50b8-4e09-9fb0-41c9bf1aaf8b (scored 0) - Eric Mangini on Dallas Cowboys: Mangini's upset alert was Washington over Philadelphia; in the chips segment he backed Houston, Dallas and Denver; and his Monday headline was Cincinnati mauling Tampa Bay, with Joe Burrow as his MVP and the Bengals as AFC North champs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e5bc3ec1-bf97-4273-a223-f5661d0cca8a (scored 0) - Kirk Herbstreit on Dallas Cowboys: Herbstreit made a full slate of Week 1 picks — Lions, Ravens, Bears, Bills, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Titans, Eagles, Packers and Cowboys — and also said he still thinks Seattle is the team to beat in the NFC West. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5bc3755c-9b84-484f-b8f2-b18d51a12261 (scored 0) - AJ Hawk on Dallas Cowboys: AJ Hawk picked the Ravens over the Colts, Carolina to beat Chicago outright, the Bills at Houston, the Bengals over Tampa Bay, the Titans over the Jets, the Raiders over Miami, the Packers at Minnesota and the Cowboys over the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/74f9146c-d27f-4851-b8a4-4103d043308f (scored 0) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Ralph Vacchiano on Tua Tagovailoa: Vacchiano ranks all 32 NFL teams entering the 2026 season, with the Rams first and Dolphins last.
