How Will Collins Peform Down The Stretch???

Redskin Warrior · 12-07-2007, 06:47 PM

I think it is possibly we can win out, but now that JC is out for 3-4 weeks at least. It gives the other teams a chance to gameplan for Collins his mobility might be a problem since we do have a banged up o-line. Last night he wasn't stepping up in the pocket and throwing the ball but then again he hasn't playing in real game speed in years so it might be a little rust. How do you think he will do down the stretch of these 3-4 weeks?

i say go mark brunell

i just don't trust collins..

I was watching him last night and he seemed a little slow and tends to hold onto the ball a little long (he didn't get sacked). On the positives he knows the system very well, which should help. I just worry that if pressure is applied how he would deal with it.

I'm skeptical...like I mentioned in another thread, there is a reason this guy was a career backup...I have a feeling we might see Brunell again before the end of the season.

Yea but he fumbled the ball... I just really hope he keeps it together and puts on an act like we saw last night

Collins IS more familiar with the system and as far as other teams preparing for him ,he hasn't played enough to really be studied.

The bench curse worries me. How many times have we seen backups come in and play great(Ramsey)just to stink it up the next week.

I know my glass is half empty but after this season who's isn't.

TO that defense..Collins has been in the league longer than Ramsey..and...He has a better coach.

collins knows the offense as well as anyone in the league, and it showed. he knew where to put the ball all night last night, as long as he can manage the game and play within himself we have a decent shot

No disrespect to you buddy but you don't have to study Collins to see he is slow and holds the ball to long.

I was responding to your first post about other teams getting a chance to gameplan for him.

Aw hell,I'll get right on it.

Big Brunell fan, but in two years he just could never grasp the nuances of this offense. Especially not compared to how Collins knows it. So we're better off without him playing.

As for Collins, I think he'll do ok but we really, really, need the running game to step up.
