The 1 guy who beat Conner Williams for a sack

[SoupcanSam]

The odds right!

Wow he only gave up one sack at LT? Move him to RT and Collins back to LG and let's work. Our run game was better with the more powerful Collins at LG too

he had a terrible game against md to open the season where he had to tackle a couple guys to avoid a sack. that stat is a bit misleading.

After the likes of Phil Pozderic on the Dallas line, a traffic cone would look like an all-pro.

i'm not saying he isn't going to be good or i'm not excited about the pick, just don't judge that comment about 1 sack at face value and think he can walk right in and be an all pro RT playing at a higher level than lael last year.....

My understanding is this guy is a shorter armed guy, probably gonna move from tackle to LG for us, right? Sort of what we did with Zack Martin? Or do people think he competes with Collins for the RT spot and the other plays guard?

Collins was really bad at LG. Not saying hes good at RT, but he was much worse at LG. Killed our run game.

He is very good at RT. Went through the gauntlet full of the league's best left side edge rushers and only allowed what, 3 or 4 sacks? Half of what Chaz green allowed in 1 game

I thought he was pretty good guard but he needs to stay at tackle

he had some great moments and some bad ones. up and down as a rookie moving from LT to LG. he was solid last year IMO considering the LDEs he faced...

Really good? Or would you say adequate for a first year RT?

He allowed 5 sacks for the season and 8 pressures in a single game.

Was the 2 sacks and 8 pressures against Von Miller in that abortion of a Denver game? When we were dropping back to pass the whole game because Zeke stunk up the joint in the first half with 8 yards and we were down 21-0?

The 8 pressures were against Von, not sure if it yielded 2 sacks or not. Regardless, those were the totals. Trying to find pressures and hurries.

2 sacks, back to back, they happened late in the 4th quarter when the game was already over. Pretty sure both happened on the same drive where Dez quit on a throw and allowed Talib to get that 102 yard pick six.

Dumb on Garrett's part for even leaving Dak in the game at that point.

La'el Collins faced a murderer's row as a first year RT:

week 1, week 14: JPP
week 2: Von Miller
week 3: Chandler Jones
week 5: Clay Matthews III
week 8, week 13: Ryan Kerrigan
week 9: Justin Houston
week 10: Vic Beasley Jr
week 11, week 17: Lane Johnson
week 12: Joey Bosa
week 15: Khalil Mack
week 16: Michael Bennett

that's probably the worst gauntlet for a RT in nfl history tbh.

Collins allowed 49 pressures last season. Tied for 6th most amongst all tackles.

As I said, he wasnt "very good" at RT, but he was better than he was at LG.

If Witten does indeed retire, and with Dez gone, La'el will now be the most overpaid player on the roster. Hopefully he turns it around considering he's still young.

How many pressures in the last 8 games?

That's a very good/fair question, that I can't answer honestly.

He absolutely was developing towards the end of the season and played much better. Good point, I might be a little too hard on him after his improvement.

Hopefully he keeps improving.
