Tyron Smith tossed Eli Apple like a rag doll in Cowboys vs. Giants game

Smith is much, much larger than Apple, and it showed.

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith is one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL today. He’s also a massive guy at 6’5 and 320 pounds.

Smith is significantly larger than New York Giants defensive back Eli Apple, who comes in at 6’1 and 199 pounds. So when Smith had to block Apple, well, it didn’t go well for Apple.

Apple is no match for Smith. Smith doesn’t even have to try that hard. He just puts both hands on Apple and shoves, and Apple goes flying.

Dallas has the best offensive line in the NFL this season, and Smith is a big part of that. The Cowboys have allowed just 18 sacks on quarterback Dak Prescott so far this season, and they’ve helped pave the way for rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott to rush for 1,285 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

The Giants took a 10-7 lead over the Cowboys late in the third quarter.
