Collins or Tapper?

[TheHerd]

Are either of these two gonna be the IR returnee? Has anyone heard anything about either of them being able to return?

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Jerry said today that Mo and Collins will return for the playoffs and play. So Collins, not Tapper

 

[CATCH17]

Has to be Collins regardless..

Our strength is the OL and you keep that a strength if something happens in the interior.

Especially with the status of TSmith and his back problem. When need that extra OL to get that 1 yd run for a go ahead score, Collins can only help.

If I were the Cowboys coaching staff (which I am not and this might be dumb), but I'd do with Collins what the Bengals did with their 2nd round tackle last year from Oregon.

I'd put him in a different number, and let him play an blocking H-back and in Looney's spot in Jumbo. He's athletic enough to do this and this way we wouldn't be carrying 8 offensive linemen in game day.

On a side note, I will be pissed if we let Leary go in the offseason. Doesn't make sense.

Collins to RT?

Leary's played as well as any O-lineman on the team. It ticked me off that he didn't make the Pro Bowl. I'd rather lose Collins than Leary, as Collins hasn't proven himself to be one of the best at his position in the league.

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

Collins to RT?

He sure shouldn't replace Leary at LG, & we need an upgrade at RT, so it just makes sense.

 

[dallasdave]

Collins

 

[haleyrules]

The FO needs to find a way to sign Leary.

Makes sense

 

[rags747]

I think the Boys will have to get Martin done next year as it will be yr 4 + Collins will be in yr 3 which I think was only a 3 yr deal. Will be tough to sign Leary too...

 

[Risen Star]

Collins to RT?

Yes. I'm all for it. That line would dominate for many years to come. Not a weak link in the chain.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

I look at it as Gregory is filling Tappers spot atleast until he is suspended again. Not sure Tapper finds time in the rotation this season. With Irving, Mayowa, Lawrence, Lawrence, Crawford, and Gregory I think he would be burried on the depth chart...

Just give Leary some of Romo's retirement Cap Savings.

I would rather lose Dez Bryant than Leary. I'd rather lose anyone on the defense than him.

B. Jones? Lee?

 

[Risen Star]

B. Jones? Lee?

Anyone on the defense. Lee's aging. Jones doesn't impact games like Leary.

Tapper has been able to practice about 5 times this year. Even Randy Gregory has more practice days than Tapper. Tapper isn't coming back this year in my opinion. Collins might come back this year but I wouldn't put any money on it.
