Honestly...I don't think Mcfadden runs better than a 4.95 40....which is pretty pathetic for a starting RB in the NFL. So really Collins out running him is really not that impressive. This isn't Larry Allen.

He wasn't faster than McFadden...but, and I hate to make the comparison, he looked a LOT like Larry Allen making the tackle on the INT. Just the way they move is incredibly similar to me

I was thinking the exact same thing. He looked just like Larry Allen swinging his arms running down Darrien Connor. This guy is Larry Allen 2.0.

Larry also had a great attitude like Collins does. I thought we would never see another Larry in the NFL, let alone in Dallas, but it looks like we have. It's unreal and I'm ecstatic.

Physically, Collins could potentially come close. But it is just way too soon to make the comparison. LA might have been the best OL to ever play the game.

LA was definitely the best OL to ever play the game. Collins is probably faster and just as athletic so the only thing that he needs is strength to match LA. He looks pretty strong to me.

I don't understand Carrot Top, why is Mcfadden the running back and not Collins?.

I'll say this.............

#21's recovery was pretty incredible, IMO.

#71 is a bad ***.............

Sadly, this was the play of the game. You can bet when ESPN or NFLN shows their 30 minute highlights of 2015 short during the dog days of summer this will be on there.

no it's not. he's doing what larry did early on and they do compare. no one - I REPEAT NO ONE is saying he will be as good as LA when it's all over - but he's off to the same start.

and i can go ahead and say that now.

I can't wait for the 2015 Yearbook that comes out from NFL Films.

It will be like watching one from the Campo era, full of fluff about the future and basically glazing over the entire lost season.

Lots and lots of Collins and Byron Jones highlights. Maybe even some nonsense about Dunbar's "potential" and the emergence of Mo Claiborne.
