Collins is better suited to play Guard not tackle...just like with Martin, he can play tackle but he's better suited and an all pro at guard....

I disagree. That sounds like Kiper or somebody talking.

I would agree that he is not an NFL Left Tackle, but he has quicker feet than several starting RTs in the league.

As of right now he is a quicker than Leary but not as strong. Leary is one of if not the strongest straight ahead drive blocker on the team.

Leary is the weak link on this O-line, has trouble getting to the second level, gets bull rushed too many times..watch the tape of Collins playing Guard in college, his natural position in the pros, he's dominant, man handles tackles and gets to the second level...Collins lateral foot movement isn't as good as it should be as a tackle....Green will make a better right tackle replacing Free in 2016....

I like Collins signing but let's not make stuff up about Leary. Here is a video of Leary taking out 3 Seahawks defenders.

He doesn't have issues with getting to the second level. In the Seahawks game and other games I watched him play. And he rarely gets bull rushed and if he does it's by some stud DT/DE.

His main issue is, he gets beat mostly from being out of position when he gets out his stance because he gets fooled by the DT/DE's first move.

I don't see any problem with him playing RT.

Really? Watch more game film on him. He's an NFL guard. He had poor footwork, lunges, and has terrible balance. NFL edge rushers would eat him alive and Romo would be on his back far too often.

Put him at guard, he likes to do the dirty work. He'd be up there 15-20 yards with an RB. Let's not screw around with this, put him at Guard and let him battle it out with Leary. Best man wins. He's not beating out a healthy Free.

The issue with Leary is that at any moment his knee will give out and his career is over. He actually better off and may have a longer career as a backup.

The one thing I have noticed about Collins is his tendency (and this is not a huge criticism) to lose his balance and hit the turf at times. Even that clip as dominant and powerful as he looks, he still ends up on the ground. All in all, he just looks more like a guard, just like Martin does at this stage. I would rather have his power on the interior. Seems a little wasted on the perimeter.
