Anyone else in favor of starting leary over Collins. I know Collins has more upside but he struggles badly at times. Btw Collins is the only difference between the 2016 o line and the 2014 o line.
No, but I will tell you what I would like to see. We should bench free, move Collins to right tackle, and plug-in Leary at left guard. Collins played his entire college career a tackle

i don't think leary would've been better. he's had the same issues as collins. can't play against quick players. and i doubt he would've handled harrison better

on the free debate. he seems the same as always. just no flexibility anymore and plays stiff with no power. the young free, sprinting down the field is no more.

also anyone notice all the has been cowboys linemen finally developing

joe berger, c starting for the vikings
arkin, not a starter

i think there's a couple others too.

Stop it....Collins isn't moving to RT

Green will start there WAY before Collins

Your statement is complete nonsense

Collins at RG and Leary at LG. Thought that was originally what was going to happen anyways. For some reason it has not.
We have a pro bowl guard that you would be moving and you would have to sign Leary if that's the long term plan
Martin is not moving

If Green improves his conditioning next offseason I think he competes with Free at RT and wins handily
Hopefully he replaces Free next week.

Free is probably the only NFL starter that would improve his team by getting injured or retiring.

It is not nonsense Collins would be better at RT this week with no practice than Free.

It won't happen because Garrett is the HC, but it would be an improvement.

Welp, considering Collins hasn't had a single snap at RT since his 1st practices last year....I think it's a safe bet

Hard to believe they would play Leary over Collins.

Not unless it's an injury.

Collins makes too much money vs. Leary.

Start Leary over MALIEK Collins? Not sure, but groin pull trade me or else Leary has NOT earned a start over Lael.

Flip Leary for a pick when a team gets desperate after an injury. Get Green some reps so that he can replace Free after this year.

Martin and Collins have played tackle in college. There was talk of Martin and he was practicing all over the line other than LT. Even center in case he had to backup in a pinch. He's the most versatile of all our lineman and one of the biggest reason's we drafted him. Collins is better suited as a guard.
take a all pro out of his position? al righty then
