Twitter: Cowboys could move Collins back to guard

[Rayman70]

Collins is a beast at LG. Move him there,and call it a career for the next 10 years. That's his forte...mauling defenders directly in front of him. Cooper is not the answer long term.

 

[Rayman70]

so the Kolton miller visit makes some sense now.

ewwww...Kolton Miller at 19? GAWD...that's way too high. He's not even the top 50 players in this draft. If we gotta,get him at 50,not 19.

dude isn't even a top 30-50 guy...maybe by some accounts he is,but he better not be the pick at 19...he isn't even as good as Doug Free. Its a reach pick at 19.

I think Collins at guard the New England kid could help our oline significantly.

 

[zrinkill]

And shows how stupid this coaching staff and front office are.

I agree with this

I will not be happy with that,not even sure he will start immediately.

Would be a welcome move, he has been pretty average as an RT.

Would be a welcome move, he has been pretty average as an RT.

And only 25 and can still improve

 

[unionjack8]

This coaching staff is clueless. Let the young man play one spot and figure it out.
As per one pro rhis week moving spots is like trying to wipe your arse with your other hand

 

[Silverstar]

Fleming has started at both tackle positions.

This would be a good signing if it happens.

 

[Daillest88]

Collins playing RT all year last year will actually benefit him moving back to LG...

 

[darthseinfeld]

That’s what I was thinking. OT at 19. Miller, McGlinchey would like both be there.

For me it makes way more sense look at OT's than OG's

 

[JoeyBoy718]

All I know is, we need to get back to whatever we had on OL before last year, which means a healthy Smith and similar LG and RT play to what Leary and Free provided.

 

[RandyOh]

I agree. I would rather draft an OT and move Collins back to LG where he flashed pro bowl potential then draft an OG and Keep Collins at RT.

 

[CATCH17]

I don’t know much about Fleming but I’m ok with moving Lael COLLINS back to guard.

 

[Chrispierce]

The shuffling games again? Noooooo....there's guards in the draft,or someone off a waiver wire,or UDFA. I don't see them finding a better player at RT than Collins,at least not this year. Think that would be a mistake.

The issue is that a good Swing Tackle will go where he has a chance to start. That leaves the Byron Bell types as pure backup Swing Tackles for the Cowboys.

They might also offer Fleming a good contract to play LG. Either way Fleming/Collins at RT/LG or LG/RT it would get them a better backup OT option than what they can sign as a backup-only OT.

It's a conundrum for sure .
If he signs a decent deal does it mean they let Collins walk next off season?

Orlando Brown too probably.

Collins is signed through 2019.
