slide one of them over the guard spot that is giving us so much trouble?

I think that's a great idea. Conner is struggling and is a momentum stopper. Fortunately Dak and company have been able to overcome it. But what are the chances Collins or Steele gets moved to Conner's spot and realistically could it work and would it help.

Adding another good OL to the mix is never a bad thing. The Coaches will figure out how work him in and the team will be better for it.

I don't think there is that much difference between Williams and McGovern or Biadasz. All are going to have problems with top NFL power hat on hat but can compete in the NFL. Collins definitely has better feet and punch. His short area power is remarkable.

Smith Collins Biadasz/Williams/McGovern Martin Steele

The ceiling on that is as good a ceiling as there is. 2 all pro and 4 pro bowler type performance. It would make a great story.

Agree...if the OLine was having major problems, but they are in sync at this point of season, don't want to disrupt just too much..
Williams a FA this offseason, attrition will solve part of the equation on its own. Steel will be paid well as swing tackle. Neshkie more natural attrition......room for Ball

If they are truly going to put the five best on the field, I think you put Collins at guard and keep Steele at tackle.

Philbin pointed out Steele has not taken a single snap at guard since he has been here. Collins has played a full NFL season at guard.

I personally think Collins is a very good tackle but he might be that much better at guard. He would be a massive upgrade from CWill. It would give us 4 massive road graders on the line and Biadasz is that much more protected.

Sure would be fun to watch.

I hate the idea of getting rid of depth

Steele, as back up for this season, will be a GREAT thing to have.

But I think he's raised his worth significantly. If he can go on the rest of the season healthy, he could bring in something decent in the off-season

I hope Collins plays as well as Steele, who has been excellent.

We are 5-0 with him starting.

I would keep Steele at right tackle but I know I’m in the minority.
