La'el Collins getting ready for right tackle this season

[haleyrules]

Like the USA, Collins will be ready for anything!

. Amen

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

Nice. Of course, La'el might be a bit more vulnerable at RT but I'm still hopeful that his movement is quick enough to suffice.

 

[CWR]

Impossible, I've been told he simply can not play tackle.

There have been those here who have contended as much, although the sample size we had in the past was extremely minimal. I'm hoping that the additional experience he's been getting will work out well for him. The act that he'll have to follow in Free shouldn't be overly demanding.

He's a little short for the position, but his athleticism makes up for it.

 

[reddyuta]

I was thinking about whether we pay him and if he plays well we should even though we will be paying 4 of the 5 olinemen some big bucks.our entire teams relies on the Olinemen even the defense.our poorly run offense will not work with bad oline play.

We just need our LG to be serviceable!!!! Collins looks like a dancing bear out there.

He's 6'5 I don't think that's short, I believe his arms were a tad shorter than desired but other than that he's a plenty tall enough for the position.

His combine report listed him at 6'4". He's a good 2" below league average at the position.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

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

Absolutely not- the guy has done very little since being here.

 

[noshame]

Lower half looks a little light, or maybe the upper half is huge? anyway moves well.

What was Free, just for curiosity?

 

[adbutcher]

Great feet. LDEs should be worried.

 

[Pants]

IMO, while I think this guy could be a terrific Guard, with the others on the team, Collins should be the RT...Green has proven zero so far...

RT more important that LG

yeah and joe Thomas has short arms. I treat the league 'norm' as a joke mostly. You can find so many exceptions it makes it worthless.

Exactly....

yes teams look at measurables because it is an unknown quantity if a player will become a technician. Free lasted as long as he did because he was technician he was not athletic or had all the measurables. There have been many a player with measurables but nothing between the ears. Athletic with Measurables will get you some time in the league but in most cases if they do not become students they end up bouncing around.

 

[CF74]

That was friggen awesome, dogs around here started howling!!!

 

[manster4ever]

seriously?

 

[Fletch]

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

He's not Romo-big, but he's healthy for sure.
