La'el Collins - Living up to his contract

[Stash]

Collins is rated 100% on his pass blocking.
Is he finally getting it, how much has Colombo helped him.
He never was as bad as the usuals on here said, but so far he looks pretty good.

Maybe partly because he hasn't faced any great DE yet. But this helps build the confidence.

Good posts, other than "the usual" remark. That's looking to start an argument and it's not needed.

On the subject of Collins, he has looked great so far, definitely playing up to that contract and continuing to be a great story, for both himself and this team. A true win-win situation. The line coach change to Alexander messed with all of the linemen, but none moreso than Collins. And now the more he works with Colombo, the more comfortable he is, the more it plays to his strengths, and the better he looks.

One of his biggest challenges has been Ryan Keeeigan, he has given La'el fits in the last, and it was great to see him handle Kerrigan with flying colors this past week.

All we need is a consistent season that maybe ends in a Pro Bowl nod and that will be the icing on the cake. He's off to a great start.

He has made some nice improvements at RT each year.
2017 was a trial by fire going up against some stud rushers.
2018 he looked better and seemed to be more at home against the speed rushers
2019 is a small sample size but he looks to have continued to improve

I was expecting to see more improvement than we did from him in 2018. I think we often aren't realistic with our expectations even when we think that we are.

Didn't he go up against Kerrigan last Sunday?

...yup, Kerrigan is no joke, dude is as good as they get. That was a fine test passed by Collins.

Solder 15 mill <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Lael 10 mill

Smart move signing La'el.

I think Quinn makes Dlaw's life a lot easier. As long as Collins keeps up his work. Makes life easier on Jaylon and LVE too. And so on and so forth.

You're right.

Stop telling the truth, that doesn't play well around these parts

Lael Collins is the best miracle that Jerry Jones ever created. Spent not a single draft pick on a top 15 talent and signed him to a team-team friendly contract. People may not like Jerry. But once in a while, he does something out of the ordinary. Atta boy Jerry!

It was always strange how Lael became a whipping boy.

I love early cupcake games. It allows confidence to build and to fine tune some things.

Commanders have one of the best def lines in the league.

Strange and predictable. The yahoos here will take just 1 negative crumb from some talking head and run with it forever.

Yep... but we have Super Dak. Best QB in the league (right now).

Lol...man, that sounds weird to say without sarcasm.

 

[Awakened]

I don’t think many people would’ve said the Collins’ contract was a better investment than Jaylon Smith contract, but after two games it seems that way.

 

[PoetTree]

Yep. Pretty much whooped him. If memory serves I think he gave up one sack when Dak rolled out of the pocket to his side and Kerrigan peeled off him to make the play.

It's only considered "giving up a sack" if the quarterback is in the pocket...

It is funny to see so many people loving Collins when all summer I read how he sucks and should be gone.
