A) He doesn't play upright all game. You are ignorant to his game. Educate yourself.



B) You have to be pretty arrogant to try and contradict what the team he plays for calls him.

I know he puts his hand down on third down, but he's a linebacker most of the time.

Prove it. I gave counter evidence. You have nothing. And the point here is not to try and change your mind. It is to get you to back up what you claim.

Struggled against the Cardinals and Rams, three killer penalties last night, and nothing to see here?

So it's impossible he would have improved over the weeks given this is his first offseason at RT?

Two of the penalties were just dumb plays where he got his hands too high. It's not like he held 5 times last night because he was getting whipped on the edge play after play.

Great. And when he puts his hand in the ground he's one of the best edge defenders in football.

And Collins did a nice job when facing him last night.

The only fool here is the guy who in the face of evidence that Collins did not get beat much last night tries to argue that A) Mack apparently isn't that good of an edge defender when he plays there and B) he was actually slacking off last night and going through the motions.

LOL.

It's hilarious actually. This is Collins what 4th preseason game at RT ? Shoot I think he's done an hell of a job. He's only going to get better. Last night vs Mack he had an above average performance. He just needs experience!!! He's already better than Free last year and he will improve, Cooper will be the LG and be solid.

I think that's the OL we have to go with. Cooper at LG and Collins at RT. Green is the swing tackle simply because he's too injury prone to count on for more than a few games at a time.

No. But it's laughable that in order to defend your silly position you actually are suggesting one of the best edge players in the NFL went through the motions last night.

I mean how silly do you sound at this point?

It's when you go out there half assed that you get hurt.

I am struggling to understand why you seem to think...even if it were true...why that makes a difference? Derrick Thomas never put his hand on the ground but was one of the all time best pass rushers. If La'el Snuffed him would you said he is a LB????

Reps, reps, reps. The more La'el Collins gets, the better he will be. He went up against a top-three rusher last night and actually held his own. He made mistakes. But I've seen Khalil Mack make all-pro left tackles look worse than first-time right tackle Collins looked last night.

Breathe, relax, Cowboys fans. Collins won't face a better player than Mack more than two or three times this season.

Shuffling Collins to RT and Chaz Green to LG has really messed up the chemistry on the line. Watching the 1st team offense last night, it was clear they are far from being proficient at their positions.

Dak had a clean pocket to throw in maybe 3 times out of the 16-17 times he dropped back.

I really think letting Leary go will come back and bite us this year. Or it might be the defense again, not sure.

Preseason overreaction.

Take a deep breath.
