Like this year !!! If we can get RB's who don't get hurt !!!

You got that right. I wasn't too worried about the RB situation a few weeks ago, but at this point I'm not even sure if we have enough backs to practice with. The Cowboys will think of something though.

If I was jerry I would extend Leary 3 years and move Collins to RT ASAP. Now THAT would be the most dominant line in the league

I think Collins needs more evaluation time but that works for me too.

Move him to RT? Have you even seen him play RT? Lets not put the cart before the horse.

Also, lets see him do that to a DT. Linebackers are much smaller than he is. Larry used to do that to everyone, not just linebackers.

Looked good, didn't watch the game but was that against starters, rotational guys or the churn section of the roster. Dude is fast for guy of his size.

The dude was MOWING over people. That's what first stringers do to second and third stringers.

With first stringers.........he'll hold his own. Win most........... lose some. That's the way it works

Give the kid a year, less maybe, and he should start.

And no, he isn't my pet cat.

DMC and Randle could have both played last night if it were a regular season game.

Dude impressed me so much last night. reports have been that leary has had a camp and probably isnt going to lose his job but with those same reports come that if he has a monster season he will be paid greatly elsewhere. im fine with La'el taking his spot if need be, its a good problem to have.

just so funny how for years we had the worst offensive line and now we have the best. love it.

I'm more apt after watching the tackles last night to keep Leary as the starting guard and immediately start practicing Collins at tackle. Weems has a long way to go to prove he can be reliable as the swing tackle, and putting Collins at tackle gives us an option if Free can't go or gets injured again.

I believe after last night that Collins already could step in at guard if needed. Let's get him ready to step in at tackle.

Plus, a line of Smith, Leary, Frederick, Martin and Collins could be set to go for years to come if Leary's knees hold up.

I know Leary will be a restricted FA after this season, but Dallas can just put a first-round tender on him.

I love that video, but that said Collins today is what Joey Gallo is for the Rangers at a moment. Spectacular highlight videos of Home Runs but still a ton of development work ahead of him before he earns a starting position.

I'm not sure if he was doing a choo choo signal or just pumping his fist, but I'd be okay if he developed that as his signature move after pancaking someone.

He was challenging someone in the stands to come down and line up in a three point stance against him.

I watched him pretty closely last night - aside from a play or two where he lost his balance and ended up on the ground, he pretty much did exactly what you want. He held his blocks, got to the 2nd level a lot and seemed really solid in pass protection

His run blocking was outstanding. I noticed he was letting people into his body in pass protection, he can't do that at tackle. From what I saw him do in college, I don't think he is an NFL tackle.

Lol, When he was just doing ok in mini camps and OTA's, I told a buddy of mine that what makes Collins great only shows up when the pads come on. His aggression, strength and nasty attitude only come into play then.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Dude is a beast.
