The best OL in football is adding depth. He probably won't ever see the field if he makes the team.

Doug Free retired and Ronald Leary signed with Denver.  They just lost 40% of their starting line and Collins has been a bust for them.  Bell will play a lot so Dak better have a good Life Insurance policy and Romo needs to be available.  I would laugh, but our line is worse.

An UDFA in Collins is a bust? Wow! No where near. He'll be starting at LG or RT. If he starts at RG then Chaz Green, will man the RT spot. He'll be taking the Cowboys version of Mike Remmers place. Collins started before getting injured in the 2nd or 3rd game of the year. I see why you guys have that attitude about the OL, you don't pay too much attention to it, do ya?

Collins is a bust and was moved from OT to guard because he was getting whipped at OT.  Dallas averaged more yardage after Collins was injured.  You just skim headlines, don't ya?

Again, an UDFA as a bust. Moving from OT to OG is commonplace now days. You're right, Dallas did average more yards after Collins got hurt. Leary was just better than he was. Collins is better than any OG or OT that we have here. No, I actually watch the games and pay attention. I just don't follow the ball. The only way that Bell see's the field is if Green or another OT gets hurt. Again, this is a depth signing. Something the Panthers need to start worrying about.

I think his primary point was that it's basically impossible to be a bust as a UDFA.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.

      [Mina Kimes Show] The offensive trends taking over the NFL

      By Basbear · Posted

      Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
