Twitter: Cowboys could move Collins back to guard

[Alexander]

I wonder if Archer knew his offhand comment in a Tweet would wake up a fan base about ready to go to sleep out of boredom.

Collins is signed through 2019.

Ok. Thought it was a 2 year deal. That's good news

 

[Chrispierce]

Let's see here...Fleming is good in pass protection,but poor in run blocking. But it says he's reliable at backup. Ok,that's a good best bad plan...I still think it's a priority to draft a quality G or T though.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I've got a crazy idea.

Why don't we wait until training camp and see who looks like the better ROT???

 

[TheCount]

If true, that's idiotic.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It would take this coaching staff three months to realize they moved Maliek Collins to OG instead of La'el

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Collins can play Tackle or Guard pretty well so maybe Fleming is the best OL left in FA between guards and tackles.
I like it if they can get him.

 

[RS12]

Corbett makes more sense to me than Miller.

 

[kiheikiwi]

I would like to smack anyone who utters position flex in the mouth.
I thought Collins settled into RT towards the end of the year. Was never for him moving, but begrudgingly saw him start to get it.
If we move him again ...it has been yet another negative in an offseason full of them.
Knowing that Garrett and co were under the pump to get this season right, it has been a limp and some what confusing beginning to a pivitol year.
At this rate, I would expect Garrett and both co-ordinators gone next year.

 

[cowboyec]

no way.
Collins is a Tackle,played there at Lsu...got better as the season wore on...up-grade the OG spot and get a Swing Tackle.
The weak links were OG and back-up Tackle...not Collins.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Man... sick of this FO smh

 

[LocimusPrime]

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.

 

[AKATheRake]

I think La'el Collins is an exceptional/dominant LG and a solid RT.

I would have no disagreement as long as the staff keeps him there once and for all and gets a very good RT in the draft. Also a solid durable veteran swing tackle.

 

[DCBoysfan]

Fleming is a swing tackle candidate to me, not a replacement for Collins. He is more of Tyron insurance.

 

[BlueStar22]

Cowboys won't ever learn their lesson about moving guys from their natural positions.

lmao..position flex..... NAH...seriously man,I agree...it gets run into the ground. Give me a dude that stays on the field and can play one position really well longterm over a guy that's a flip flop type guy,ANYDAY.

 

[erod]

Collins is an above average guard, and an average at best tackle.

This is smart.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

People complaining about position flex. Never get that. If Collins at LG gives us the best 5 lineman then let's do it.

 

[Rayman70]

LEAVE HIM AT GUARD 99% of the time and only use him elsewhere when injury dictates as such. DUDE IS AN ELITE ALL PRO GUARD.

 

[kumizi]

He isn't very good at guard or tackle. I got crucified for criticizing his extension that made him one of the highest paid right tackles in the league. People still view him by where he was going in mock drafts instead of his play. Hopefully he'll be better than Cooper because he was a downgrade from undrafted Leary.
