Twitter: Why Maliek Collins will have a Breakout Season in 2017

[Texas_Pete]

He flashed as a rookie. Here's hoping he take the next steps towards putting it all together starting next year. He has the tools.

Fan nonsense.

I have no doubt he will be a high-quality starter next year, but I'm not convinced they don't get cute and try to slide him over to the one to compensate for losing McClain and then move Crawford back to the three. Hard to break out when you're stuck on garbage duty.

Fan nonsense.

Predicting a player won't be a star. How brave of you.

Another key cog from the Cowboy war room last spring.

Can't wait to see what this year brings.

 

[haleyrules]

Lets hope. But plan for the opposite.

Didn't I hear the same thing about Randy Gregory....

Collins is already better then Crawford, and will be twice as good once he hits his ceiling.

He has made Crawford irrelevant, and I hope the FO and coaching staff see thats. Hate to see Collins pounded into a square hole just to get another jersey on the field

Nah...Collins doesn't have a Mary Jane problem.

The guy had a good effort on the article, but the he talks like a kid in 8th grade.

Crawford and Collins will rotate at DT. With the more productive player seeing the greater share of snaps.

Why do people think the guy who led our team in pressures last year is somehow someone we can't use. All because people think he is making 2mm too much this season. Give me a break.

Wasn't this his breakout year? Played good for a first year player, needs to improve on his run d

 

[waving monkey]

MCollins has shown no reason to be skeptical of his skills or effort. Character is something I bet on.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Still think we need 3 new members on the DL this draft.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

LOL

So much wrong with what xwalker said. Made me chuckle probably more than necessary too.

 

[CF74]

5 sacks from a rookie DT was the breakout lol

 

[fishspill]

Watching Collins in college he looked a lot like Fredbeard did in that his primary problem was wearing down as games went on. That's one of the easier problems to fix with a motivated pro. Conditioning = results.

The 1 is a more important position than 3, at least in my experience. Keeps OL off your LBs and allows your weak side DE to go one on one. At least in my scheme.
