Lael Collins Appreciation Thread **merged**

He dominated Justin Houston and did not appear to get help. Best game
I've seen him play.

 

[Ranching]

Just a matter of time with this kid. He will be a stud. He has all the tools.

Always hated seeing him play guard....

 

[Reality]

The one thing I've noticed about him is he has the snap timing down to an art. I constantly see him jump thinking he's jumped early only to realize that the ball was snapped a split-second before he moved and because he times it so well, everyone else is still set for that brief moment. It's basically what Ware used to do and get called for off-sides on the defense side, but on the offense side of the ball.

His short arms are a liability but he is very strong and has active feet. Plus he seems to just want it more than long armed types.

 

[bodi]

yea I like him out there

you do know he has longer arms than Joe Thomas, right? this short armed myth was rightfully called by Madden years ago as 'meat for the ignorant'

If you are saying it. I believe it. You had Jaylons misuse nailed down. You should try and educate the fan base more often. You have the background for it.

That is interesting. Good catch. He just looks like T-Rex at times.

Dude has taken a lot of stick this year, thought he was great today.

Dak had all day on most plays and Collins get props for his part today.

He’s played against some talented players, and will only get better

 

[MRV52]

Did a nice job, the entire line really played well again today.

 

[CyberB0b]

He's a prototypical RT. If he plays up to his potential, he's a beast.

 

[DC Cowboy]

I was pissed with him last week but I will admit he played much better today

 

[canters]

Not to get off topic, but Cooper again had a good game and put his guy on the ground a few times. Not bad for a draft bust.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Collins been an upgrade over Free in a season learning the position

That's not what I've been hearing, apparently he's a T-Rex and we never should have moved him over to RT. I guess players can progress after all...

I think this line rivals last year's with Leary... Cooper and Collins are looking more and more comfortable on this line.

Motivated, blue chip player playing alongside some great talent and mentors.

Only a matter of time, anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know the game.

No player ever just walks on the field playing their first snaps at an awesome level...except Dak.
