Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La’el Collins (71) works against St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Michael Brockers (90) during a joint practice at Cowboys training camp on Monday, Aug. 17, 2015, in Oxnard, Calif. (Smiley N. Pool/The Dallas Morning News)

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was in an exceptionally good mood during a Tuesday morning radio interview.

While talking about what caught his eye during Monday’s practice against the St. Louis Rams, Jones specifically mentioned the drills between the Cowboys’ offensive line and the Rams’ defensive line.

“I was standing in a tower about 15 feet over them, just that close,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan’s G-Bag Nation show [KRLD-FM]. “I’m telling you, one place you don’t want to be in this world is in the middle of St. Louis’ defensive line and our offensive line. God dog, you’re talking about some talent and you’re talking about knocking each other’s *** off, they were doing it.”

Jones then praised rookie left guard La’el Collins, but pumped the brakes on any talk of moving Collins to tackle. The Cowboys like their options with Doug Free starting at right tackle, despite recent foot and ankle issues, and Darrion Weems being the swing tackle...

Anyone who has been reading up on Collins or watching college film/TC and preseason footage will tell you he's made to play guard. You don't take Collins who has such power and aggression with average to a little above average footwork/balance and place him at tackle. He's another Martin, but with even more aggression.

Keep him at guard.

If one can't vision an entire offensive line's interior getting bronze statues at Canton, then study this: Collin, Frederick, Martin.

Those three would strike fear in a defense. And they aren't even the most talented on the line! That's the craziest thing. You have the physical freak at tackle in Smith.

Frederick is a tough guy himself and he seems to be an awe when talking about Smith.

They're really good, but they're not "striking fear" in any NFL defensive tackles. Guys that play in the NFL along the interior lines don't get scared in football.

Yes, yes they do. A position doesn't completely take the emotion from players. The offensive line of the 90s struck fear in defensive lines, just read quotes of opposing players from that time period.

They don't strike fear in NFL players. They earn their respect, perhaps, and they instill a sense of hopelessness about being successful against them. But no, these guys didn't make it to the NFL by being physically afraid of playing football.

The only physical fear on an NFL football field is with some receivers going over the middle, or some quarterbacks sitting in the pockets.

The scared guys are weeded out in high school and college.

My goodness. This might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.

You are sitting here telling me that the scouting department is SO good that they find players they will NEVER be intimidated? Is this what you're telling me? There are players that intimidate other players, even great players. The offensive line of the 90s struck fear into defenses.

You live in a fairy tale world where your favorite football players are super heroes saving the world from destruction.

Guys who get "scared" don't make NFL football teams on the line of scrimmage. They might not be as good, and they might get beaten like a drum, but they aren't afraid.

You think Demarcus Lawrence is scared of Trent Williams? You think Ken Bishop is scared of Jason Kelce? You think Randy Gregory is scared of Russell Okung?

That's just stupid. These guys didn't star in college football and make the pros being scared of anybody. They might get beat, but they're not scared.

Ask Justin Tuck and others about going against Larry Allen. He wouldn't say fear. No man would but read between the lines. It's a form of fear.

I think John Randle said about the same and he's in Canton.

It's not fear. It's a feeling of inferiority. When a guy owns you on the field, and you know it, it's humbling and humiliating.

do a little research on LA before 2002. There were DTs that asked their teams to put them on the injured list so when LA destroyed them in the game they had an excuse.

Here's a video of Poppinga, and NFL player saying " I was literally afraid", when speaking of Larry Allen

Players get scared going up against the best in the league. There are enough quotes out there of players admitting to being intimidated.

YOU are the one living in a fairy tale. NFL Football doesn't suck the emotion from a human being.

I think this is where I stop taking anything you say seriously from now on.

I can't wait for erod to spin this one.

 

[KingLerxst]

I bet there were some players that were afraid of Erik Williams! I'm sure there were some that we a little scared of Haley as well. Some of those were guys on his own team!
I know Lawrence Taylor struck fear in a few QB's as well.

That's unless you are standing across from Larry Allen.

Or across fro Erik Williams in his prime.


Those two next to each other were simply unreal! It's too bad Erk William never had chance to reach his full potential with car wreck. I see him as a mean *** Tyon Smith.

I bumped into LA at the airport a few years ago. He didn't seem that tough.
