La’El Collins

[HungryLion]

is there a more overrated player on the cowboys?

Collins is having a pretty bad season. And quite frankly he never really has been that good.

 

[JBS]

don't think anyone rates him very highly..so I wouldn't say he's overrated

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

The other elephant in the room is Tyron Smith.

Be it due to injuries or something else his play has dropped significantly the past two seasons.

 

[Hardline]

Who's overrating him?

He is the only healthy OL guy we have now.

You better pray nothing happens to him.

Or we will see just what he means if he is out.

What you going to do?

Start Columbo?

Really.

We have very little invested in him and he has done what was needed after Turnstyle Doug Free.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

His salary.

 

[spook930]

He’s playing out of position lol. People were trashing Byron when he was playing out of position too.

 

[Eanwen]

He's not playing like someone who had a first round grade. He's playing up to where he was actually taken in the draft.

I'm flip flopping on whether the Cowboys should take a TE in the 2nd or an OT.

 

[John813]

He's not a good Tackle. Not bad either. Just average.

I hope we can develop some tackles in the upcoming years to replace Collins and Smith.

He wasn't particularly good at guard either, but whatever. Let's get a new tackle and see who's a better guard Williams or Collins.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Tyron is more overrated


But nobody is more overrated than Snake Lee. Hes done

 

[Hardline]

His salary.

Thats overpaying. Not overrating.

 

[Gaede]

Not a good player.

Little invested in him? He’s the fifth biggest salary in our payroll... he’s underperforming. I don’t think he’s gone a game without a penalty...

When we gave him that extension it made him the second highest paid right tackle as far as yearly average goes (at $7.7 million for this year and next), so it is a bit disingenuous to say we have invested very little in him.

He is not even close to living up to that amount.

This.

What do you mean? How could this be with all that great Oline play?

 

[Vanilla2]

How’s rehab going?

 

[elcowboi]

I didn't think he was all that bad this game at least. Now Smith is starting to make me worried.

 

[Batman1980]

Cameron Fleming needs to get a look this year. Oh and is it just me or was Connor Williams actually serviceable at RG?

 

[Kolemmitt]

There are so many questions for the offseason on the Oline. Part of me thinks we should extend Fleming and let him compete with Williams for the starting RT spot and the backup is the swing tackle.
I would also like to see if we can extend Looney and see if he can play that LG spot if Fredbeard is back next year. And what about Filo, he might also look good at that spot if Smith and Fredbeard get back to healthy next year.
