“I am open to doing whatever needs to be done for us to be successful,” Collins said. “If that’s what it takes then I will do it. It’s different but I play it like the 3-technique. The 3-technique everything flows off of you. At the nose, you’ve got to flow off of everything else.”
The Cowboys are tailoring what they do at the nose to what fits Collins, allowing him to move and use his quickness.
Marinelli loved the early results and hopes to build on it Sunday against the
Washington Commanders.
“I thought he was really explosive,” Marinelli said. “Oh boy, he was explosive. We do a lot of movement with the nose. You have to have big guys. Quickness. And I want explosion. He’s got really good explosion. So it allows us to get our four best players on the field at the same time.”
