I thought the reason for switch coz we didn't trust Greens health, yet he's starting at Collins old position. If I remember correctly Green was a hell of RT WHEN HE PLAYED and we all how good Collins was last year before he was replaced by Leary. Why not switch them back?

I think we made a mistake of never even letting Collins practice at RT when he came here,he just is making too many mistakes learning to play Tackle.

Wow overreact much. The answer is no, these guys are 3 games into the season with new positions. Both have struggled at times and dominated at others. Stay at their spots as they continue to get better and learn. By the end of the season you will see it pay off.

Anybody wanting Free back is silly and jumping to conclusions. Half this board wanted Lawrence gone too......glad yall don't make the decisions

I didn't like the switch.......changing up 2 positions but LCollins has been OK against top DEs

Too late to switch back unless injuries force their hand

Rule #1 never move a guy to new position now you have a question mark at 2. That being said Lael has faced some pretty good LDE, his strength is run blocking and he is too young and athletically gifted to have picked up all the technical nuaces of playing tackle in the NFL. I mean it could be worse the Cardinals RT made Lawrence look like the 2nd coming of Haley or Ware.

Collins has been terrible at tackle. Makes Free look like an all pro.
Run blocking.......he needs work. Pass protection, he's proven worth his salt. He's mean, nasty and hates to lose the battle..give him some time.

He’s been absolutely abysmal in pass blocking.
