Have to totally agree, anyone who watched him at guard saw what clap and this coaching staff did was akin to the Byron Jones at safety move....total idiocy. I'm no line coach guru but I know what my eyes told me, Collins should be a guard, not a tackle. But that's just my opinion. I believe Conner will make a bad A tackle with some weight gain and strength training.
we should move him back to LG. that's his strength. move Williams to RT. he has better feet and better technique.
His natural position was tackle I thought? Isnt that what he played in college?
Leary played college ball as OG, Collins was LOT and ROT in college so learning new position takes a little time. The one place he needs to work is pass protection but usually your RT is a better run blocker than pass blocker hence why Free was entrenched there for so long.
It is but people fall into that trap that Martin did in one season, he also played LT in college. Collins has the "short" arm syndrome allegedly. He has his warts that is why he will never be a starting LOT.
They are the two positions that holding penalties are easier to see since both tackles end up out in space on passing downs.
His problem is aggression, he sometimes is not patient so quick guys can get him to commit and become out of position.
