I thought that this video deserved it's own thread.
It's the whole damn organization's fault.
ThanksWinner. End thread.
Certain players need shielding from any blame and for fingers have to be pointed elsewhere to accomplish that.Yet again the need to dumb it down to single cause rears its ugly head.
For everyone who thought Collins held his own vs Von Miller, watch the Denver game highlights shown in this video starting shortly after the 9 minute mark....Miller beat him like a drum repeatedly....nearly as bad a game as Chaz Green had.
You mean the second half where we were down several scores and Miller could sell out to rush? It's not like he was getting beat all game like Green was vs ATL.
Collins took time to round into form. You can see him short set and whiff --not surprising vs Miller-- and have issues timing his punch in general. Watch him against Khalil Mack later in the year. He's working much better laterally and with the right amount of patience.
That is the issue that I think more people need to consider. Switching positions from the interior OL to the outside is not easy. In the one you are heading straight back and the guy lined up basically right on top of you is coming right at you upfield because the gaps to either side are small. The cliche is its working in a phone booth. On the outside a pass rusher is coming at an angle to you and trying to do everything he can to make you miss. You have to move laterally and be patient because if you lunge to early its over.
With severely reduced practice time in the new CBA, it's that much more worse.
This why I hate talk about "killing two birds with one stone" buy drafting an LG that play LT. You move your LG to LT if Tyron goes down, you just downgraded two positions at once and severey disrupted chemistry. And I dont think people realize how vital chemistry is to OL playYou mean the second half where we were down several scores and Miller could sell out to rush? It's not like he was getting beat all game like Green was vs ATL.

I’d blame Jerry...but that’s kinda been done to death.
