Maliek Collins is a serious Problem

The Eagles exploited it with David Irving in 2017 too in that SNF game. Marinelli just doesn't know what to do anymore

Anymore? The old geezer has never known what he was doing. Heck he coached the Lions to an 0-16 season a decade ago.

Collins plays all out every snap too and is considerably more talented.

Ok, so if every play he's so disruptive in the backfield...where are the sacks? If his responsibility is not against the run but instead trying to make it to the quarterback, he's really doing a piss poor job at it. The whole defense is inept - line included.

That scheme is one of the stupidest ever seen, one rush and the others don't, so wonder the cheeseheads gash them with A. Freaking Jones, who problably will not score 4 TD's the rest of the year.

will Adrian Clayborn ever get 6 sacks in a game again? no
will Aaron Jones ever get 4 touchdowns in a game again? no
will the Cowboys probably allow another record setting performance again? yes
will I break my record for most beers drank in one game because of it? yes

Wish I was tech savvy so I could post the All22 coaches film clips. But I am not. I went back to watch and concentrate on the defensive line. One thing really stood out, Maliek Collins.

He is a huge liability vs the run. It’s very evident that at the snap of the ball he is selling out and disregarding everything in order to try and get to the QB. He isn’t staying square or maintaining any gap control. Most of the opposing teams long runs this season are right through Collins gap.

He is on a contract year and it looks like he doesn’t care about anything except sacks. Someone needs to sit down with this dude and chew into his ***. In hindsight I was actually surprised by how well Covington played. He is SOUND with his gap assignment and takes on double teams pretty well. For those of you that have All22 go and watch Collins and you’ll be shocked how bad he is.

Is he being told to play that way?

Changes your perspective if he is.

Who said he's disruptive and in the backfield every play? If that was the case he'd be making a whole hell of a lot more money. I said he plays all out every play and is more talented than Hyder.

He IS hands down our most disruptive interior presence and he IS considerably more talented than Hyder. Are you arguing he's not?

No he doesn’t. I hate to say it. On run plays he just goes half speed. He is not giving full effort you can 100% see it on these angles available on coaches film. He is walking a lot too once the play is past him.

I know you arent talking about the same Maliek Collins that this board said was an all pro player just 2 months ago

[Teague31]

Contract year. All he is thinking is that sacks equal a payday. He doesn’t give a crap about stopping the run or maintaining gap integrity

I've been watching the All-22 for years and haven't seen that. Not any more than any normal player at least. He's literally gotten in trouble for jumping on piles from behind.

Very shocked in Marinelli...the supposed "DL Guru"

That farce is over.

You mean there's a player that fans have divided opinions on?! Boy howdy I would have never guessed it.

Next you'll tell me about all the posters who spend their entire post count saying "see I told you so"

 

[Stash]

Problem is most of Marinelli's defense is calling for M.Collins to get vertical and disruptive etc. Good OC's and O-lines are exploiting Marinelli's run defense like never before since Colts/Rams last year

Exactly. They know how to exploit it and use that aggression against us. But an old dog can't learn new tricks.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Got dog it, we gonna have to stop drafting so well. Its giving my heartburn thinking of all the talent that we may have to part with.

Honestly figured MC was gone next season when we drafted Tristan.

I’m glad you have it too. So go back to 2018 and tell me if you see our 3 tech playing like Collins is right now. I compared it and he is playing much differently. He is selling out.

 

[fifaguy]

I said in the game thread he should be benched. He is selling out for sack$$$.

The cowboys don't bench guys..

 

[Stash]

Changes your perspective if he is.

This failed 'scheme' is telling the linemen to "get up the field" first and foremost, but "oh by the way, if you see a guy with the ball on the way? Tackle him!"

And people still wonder why it's failing?

But yeah, put all of this on the players too!

That's what happens when Marinelli's archaic training camp coaching style

He was Dline rushing during one on one without snap of the ball..... dumb dumb dumb, being relentless is good but it needs to be measured to read and react too

If Collins is smart he'll move on to team that has a coach who can relate to today's game and players (see Taco )
