La'el Collins getting ready for right tackle this season

[RS12]

Yep we are desperate for anything Cowboys. Footwork looks good though.

We should pay him now. Hes going to be expensive come next season.

He's only a RFA next season.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Like the USA, Collins will be ready for anything!

Good find. Thanks man. We do need more stuff like that on here during these dog days.

So if someone comes at him with a doggy gate, he should be able to handle it just fine.

 

[AsthmaField]

Footwork did look good too. Very fluid.

If he just doesn't get over aggressive and lunge, he should be more than fine at RT, if that's where he ends up at.

I don't know why that struck me so funny... but it did. I lol'ed.

 

[robjay04]

I do think this line certainly has the potential to be better.

Losing Leary stinks but it's easy to mask a weakness between two all pro players if Collins can excel at RT.

He'll learn a ton more from Smith, Frederick, and Martin...

 

[Toruk_Makto]

That's a big boy.

Yep. He looks like he might have shed some fat.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Get your hands La'el!

All in all, he looks good.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Now if Tyron to teach him that "clean and jerk" or "scratch and sniff" or whatever the name of that move is they mentioned in that other article, they'll be all set on the line.

I really believe Green if healthy could be better than Leary. I know that health is a big if with him, but he showed last year the power and movement skills to play tackle. If he can adjust to playing inside, his upside is higher.

The same might could be said of Cooper, but I'm not sure he was ever the player Arizona was hoping he would be when it took him in the first round, and the devastating injury seems to have taken away some of his greatest asset, his quickness. Maybe because of the injury he hasn't been able to show much of that player, but what I see when I watch footage of him is a guy whose power is inconsistent, which is what I saw of him in college, frankly.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Should be snaps per holding call, but the info is good!

 

[Hardline]

Creepy

 

[Eddie]

He will be fine. RT won't be a concern.

 

[panchucko]

That is going to be some beastly bookends on that OL

 

[Bullflop]

La'el moves laterally well enough for a man of his size that I'm quite hopeful and even fairly confident that he'll be an upgrade over Doug Free. Of course, there's only one way to find out and we're sure to learn more during training camp. Here's hoping we are all extremely pleased and excited with his play. I think La'el is stronger and more mobile than the version of Free that we saw the last few years when his mobility was so limited. I'm pulling for him to experience great success at offensive right tackle.
