How Collins and Jones are doing as rookies compared to other rooks

[Macnalty]

Consistency in ratings mean more to me than the actual rater's ratings. If I know somebody is an easy judge, than a good score means less because that judge always ranks favorably.

I don't see a problem in Collins' run blocking at all and while I don't dislike PFF, they are not beyond reproach.. Especially when it comes to O-Line play. For instance, a couple of years ago they were praising Free as the best tackle in the league, but were down on Tyron even though Tyron was getting no help and shutting down elite pass rushers game-after-game. They really need to use their ratings in conjunction with other metrics so they can better judge why things are working and not working.

I agree their algorithm needs additional tweaking and it seems to be stagnating as far as improvement, it is an nice source of data, free, and provides many criterion not easy to harvest without spending lots of time and effort.

Collins (and the rest of the OL) willl not realize their potential with current OL coach .. JG needs to get a capable OL coach and let this group of beasts destroy the NFL.
As for Jones, I am very excited with the thought of him and Scandrick playing together .. MAN!!!! when did we last have a dominant defense, a shutdown defense .. a DOMMS DAY defense ...

That ankle sprain really set Gregory back which sucked for him, because in the week 1 game he was always in Eli's face until he went down. As for Jones he's been very impressive and i liked him playing safety. Collins is inconsistent but that's to be expected, seeing him put Bobby Wagner on his *** shows the nastiness in this kid.

I agree that Gregory was quite noticeable in game 1 until he got injured, but I have not hardly noticed him since then... He has not only lived up to his hype thus far, but he hasn't even been what you would expect out of any average DE selected in the 2nd-round... Jones is not physical enough to play Safety imo...

David Irving might end up being better than all of them...

If Dallas had just used a seventh-round pick on Rawls instead of taking a gamble it could get him in FA. That's where the attitude of "we're OK at running back" gets me. Not that we didn't draft one at the bottom of the first, or pass on Gregory to draft one, or even pass on Green to draft one. What gets me is that we didn't draft any when we didn't know for sure what we had. Now, we've gone through back after back just trying to field a couple who can carry the load.

You do know a high ankle sprain follows you around all season right? He just said he's close to being 100% which might be pushing it, ankle sprains & fractures are the worst injuries to have because there's no surgery to just correct it.
