Twitter: La'el Collins on his future position

Of course he wants to stay at tackle, better money in a contract but I think at some point he's moving back to left guard, a better suited position for him IMO....

 

[TheCount]

Here we go.

I think the team would have to be idiotic to force him to switch positions twice in two years.

Agree (just for the record)

I'd leave him at tackle. That way we only have to work on one position.

 

[waving monkey]

Just make sure you draft the "man" for left guard position then we start scoring in the high twenties average per game

Now that he's played both, the smart move would be playing him where he is most effective.

All things considered, if the Cowboys have a real shot at him, take the OT Williams from Texas...make it an outright competition for who starts at right tackle. Either would be solid back at left guard, for a season...other wise, I want a defensive tackle in the first round and a trade up and OG in the second round.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I hate this team at times... Leave him at RT SMH

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I agree with you La'el

 

[sdfidaho]

I’m glad he came out and said it.
Said he would do what was best for Cowboys, but..............
Very professional in how he stated it as well.

You realize who the GM is right?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Exactly what you expect until/unless the team says otherwise........

I prefer Collins to stay at OT too, but what I think would be idiotic would be to not put the 5 best players on the field, regardless of whether that is with Collins at OG or OT.

Where he goes has nothing to do with him. If they can find a good tackle then hes playing guard. If they can come up with a good guard then he is playing tackle.

 

[PUSHfold]

Easier to find another guard to replace Cooper than it is a RT....makes much more sense for him to stay and let Flemming be the swing.

Well look who are coach is

OL is different then other positions. You can't just put the 5 best they have to fit like a puzzle. OL has to have chemistry more then any other position group. They have to feel how to pass a defender off and trust that the guy beside them will pick him up.

We are a better team with Collins at RT, Fleming the swing tackle and drafting a LG. Keep the same line only changing LG. You seen what happen last year when changing 2 spots did to chemistry.... Took them a few games to get it together and those earlier losses hurt like Rams, GB and Atlanta. All 3 playoff teams that would have gave us a chance at making the playoffs. Especially Atlanta with the Green debacle

 

[revospeed]

Looney is going to be given an opportunity to start. Chaz Green wasn’t terrible at guard, but he’s made out of porcelain.

Two thumbs up wm. No cheap band aids, "draft the man for LG"!
It took too long to put this OL together, don't let it deteriorate!
