woah.Not that it matters, this looks like one of those 17-6 preseason games that leave us all pissed off.

He looked sharp in both OTAs and in drills. I'm not surprised to see it in this game, and I think Marinelli can grow this kid the right way.Yep, I think he may have something.
Gotta start somewhere though.
This.And yet the guy backing up Free looked like dogshit.
I still don't get why Collins isn't out there at RT.
I was looking for #70
Ho lee shit.
I thought the scuttlebutt from the reporters around camp was that the coaches were pretty sure Collins simply doesn't have the feet to play tackle. That's what I've heard, anyway.
If Free were to get hurt for any extended period, I wonder if they'd think of putting Martin out there and letting Collins play G.
I know he projected to Guard but didn't he play Tackle at LSU? Either way, I'm all about getting the most talent on the field as possible. I don't care to move Martin just because he and Fred have such good chemistry, but if it means getting Collins on the field and he is one of our top five then I would think you have to do it.Yes, I've heard those reports as well but I don't recall hearing about them actually trying him out at RT.
Watching him in OTAs and concluding that he doesn't have the feet to play RT, though, just smells of laziness. Surely they're not that damn concerned about hurting Free's feelings.
Leary is doing fine. If you're talking about the 5 best I think he's in there. Free shouldn't get the free pass just because Collins' feet didn't look great in OTAs.Collins did have a couple great blocks, but there were a fews play where he completely whiffed his man. I don't want to get on a guy for his first preseason game too much but Ronald Leary should be the starter. At least in the first couple games
Collins played LT at an elite level at LSU.I know he projected to Guard but didn't he play Tackle at LSU? Either way, I'm all about getting the most talent on the field as possible.

Heard Gus has separated shoulder. Could be out for season.
Back to drawing board.

Leary had been better in practices from what I heard. He wasn't last night though.That's funny when pretty much everyone I've heard has said Leary is miles ahead of Collins. Someone on the radio yesterday even said Leary might be having the best camp of anyone on the OL.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that Leary was playing against better players while Collins went against backups and scrubs who won't be in the league?
AC separations don't normally require surgery, but he does need to rest it...which sucks since he's a rookie who needs practice time.
