Scout's Notebook: Maliek Collins' Power, Cooper Working At Guard; More

[RS12]

The one guy that is able to give Zack Martin trouble is Maliek Collins. It’s rare that you see Martin get knocked off balance against power, but that’s what Collins was able to do during the Team Period. When Collins can get his hands inside first, he’s going to win because of his upper body power. Where Martin was able to counter Collins was with a powerful punch of his own, which forced him to have to restart his rush, limiting his ability to get to Prescott.

Jonathan Cooper took the majority of snaps at left guard with the first offense. I didn’t notice any major problems technique-wise, but it did appear that he made a mental mistake during Team Period when he went the wrong way on a counter. Ezekiel Elliott took the ball to the right as all the blockers went down inside to the left -- with the exception of Cooper, who went to his right.

Welp if Collins can give Zack Martin trouble, he should be able to give anybody trouble.

Completely random question.

I have an iPhone 6. Anyone else have trouble reading articles from the Cowboys site on their iPhones? I can't scroll down without it freezing.

This was by far Claiborne's biggest problem:

• Some really nice coordinated switch work on routes by Orlando Scandrick and Anthony Brown during this practice. These corners have had to deal with a lot of tight splits by the receivers, which means they’ve had to exchange coverage on the fly while playing man. They have been flawless.

Me I think it was staying healthy

Good to hear about Maliek. If he can be a poor mans Warren Sapp I'm thrilled

Throw of the Day came from Kellen Moore during Team Period. Brice Butler, working against Jourdan Lewis out of the slot, executed a perfect slant in between him and linebacker John Lotulelei. Moore fired the ball inside to Butler, who snatched it on the move and was able to run past Kavon Frazier into the end zone.

We need Collins and another young Dlineman to step up and provide us with a solid pass rush next season.

Pretty Much. Martin is a technician, an athlete, and a power guy.

To give him trouble, you've got to be a threat in one way or another.

not necessarily. There are lots of examples of great players having problems with a guy who is not. Just seems to have that great players number for some unexplained reason. While it is a good sign ONCE AGAIN THERE ARE NO PADS ON.

I also took note that Cooper is back with the starters at left guard. I fully expect that will be the lineup going forward into training camp. The time for experimentation and shuffling is over. Time to dominate.

This year the OL will be better than last year, and ZEKE will run wild on the rest of the NFL

Yeah you really can't get much about the big guys with no pads on.

The only takes I pay attention to are the lil guys on the outside and coverage.

Scroll Using two fingers bro....I had the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. Had to google it to find the solution.

There are no pads, correct. That's the biggest key.
