Nextyearfordaboyz Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I’m going to be very surprised if La’El actually ends up playing guard for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 It’s probably happened before, but I honestly can’t think of the last time someone on this team said publicly that practice wasn’t good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played guard, let alone on the left side of the o-line in a while. I like that they are at least going to give him some snaps to try it out, but I highly doubt he ends up starting any games this year inside.

It was something more along the lines of "Expected to start at guard' Not sure if you saw my edit, but Rapport also just said it on NFL network just 10 seconds ago. Something like "Collins is likely to move to guard". I guess they are leaving a little flexibility, but it sounds like a go to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen that he’s practiced both at LG and RT. And he’s listed as backup to both of those spots on our depth chart. But nothing about him potentially being the starter at LG. That would be big news, that isn’t currently spreading like big news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fans believe that Collins is an upgrade at LG. every single beat writer believes that Williams is much better than Collins at Og. I would say it depends on what shape he is in. If he was is peak physical condition in mid-season form(and he probably isn’t) then I would say he absolutely is an upgrade over CW at any position on the offensive line. Williams isn’t bad on the move or reaching the 2nd level. He’s nimble for his size but struggles in the power game which this year he tries to cover by holding(2nd most penalized player in the NFL). Collins doesn’t struggle with power, is nimble for his size, and is an absolute meme as a pulling guard(something we haven’t seen in years). Collins also has a recent history of not being in shape though, and if he isn’t then he probably doesn’t upgrade the LG spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them think La’El is a better player at RT than he was at guard. And most of them think Connor Williams is a better guard than Steele is a tackle. And if you believe that math, then keeping La’El at RT would make the most sense. But I would bet most beat writers and analysts would say, given the choice in a vacuum, they would take La’El to start at guard over CW.
