Haven't heard from Maliek Collins for a while

[DallasDW00ds0n]

We are blessed to have Marinelli but you guys all ready know that.

Yeah the defense has been fantastic this year, lol

 

[The Natural]

They should have went after a real plug in FA. No idea what they were thinking with the Paea fiasco, besides him being one of Marinelli's boys.

He's putting together a winner. The "D" now is clicking.

 

[theebs]

Wasn’t that last year?

No it was the Thursday night game brad mentioned he had been playing hurt and then said he is playing with a broken foot.

Paea and Price both actually played pretty well at that 1T position. We’re playing Collins there as a third option out of necessity because it’s the best way to get our four best DL in the rotation where we want them.

Paea played well. He was OK for the price but they should have added another veteran 1tech or young player with significant upside as the other 1tech.

Ah, he also suffered a broken foot in training camp as a rookie: http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2...lins-suffers-broken-foot-during-cowboys’-otas

Did he get cut at some point earlier this season? Haven’t heard from him for awhile.

Yea he was cut week 3

 

[Sydla]

Sign Logan or Poe if both hit free agency. There's your 1 Tech. Then draft a 1 tech project in the middle rounds. You still also have Price likely.

Frankly, I'd rather just crap can Marinelli and bring in a younger more aggressive DC and let him figure it all out.

No. He died. The funeral was last week. Have you not been paying attention. And no you don't get a link to the obituary.

I have an idea. Why don't we try to bring back Ratliff and Paea? They will never expect that.

yes I know but I am pretty sure Brad Sham wasnt referencing that two weeks ago.

At least I hope he wasnt, he has been missing a lot of calls lately so I am beginning to worry.

 

[waving monkey]

Just another notch on Garretts belt, having DEs play DT for years now.

its a lack of players at a position so their mixing and matching. They lost two D1's to injury [Paea and the rookie] That will be corrected this off season. I assume.
It happens

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

It' true but somehow we missed the part where his knee is so bad he's on the verge of retirement thingy

 

[Hawkeye19]

I give Collins kudos for playing hurt and out of position. Taking one for the team IMO. Nothing we have tried at 1T has worked this year. Hopefully it gets addressed sufficiently in the offseason but I won't hold my breath.

Watch them do the same thing next offseason.

We should at least draft a guy in round 4 this year. The waiting until round 6-7 to get a guy who won’t make the roster nonsense needs to stop. And I wonder what Brian prices recovery time is

Price actually looked good... he should be ready for OTAs.

I still say draft a guy that can actually play to go with Price. Ash is garbage.

 

[Alexander]

He is settling into the level of play that fits him. A rotational player, far from the Sapp lite a bunch of people around here thought.
