and i'm an arkansas fan, and i don't think he's ready yet
1. you have to truely undrestand how massive our offenssive line is.
2. pass blocking LINK
3. he's probably.... no he's defiantly the slowest starting running back in the SEC West.
4. Here's my biggest issue.. He's a good enough runner to play in the NFL right now. But he's not a feature back, so he needs to be able to do other shite like catch passe out the outfield. I honestly, in 3 years, don't remember him catching one pass that was not a screen. Never seen him split out, so being a third down back is out the question, and if you do't have top end speed, and can't fricking catch how the hell are youg oing to make a 53 man roster?
he's a much more natural running back than both LF and Henry IMHO, has amazing agility and I'll take his vision and cutting ability over anyone else's. But he really, can't do anything else.
He needs a year and needs to work on his route running ad pass catching. There was a reason he never started over JOnathan Williams.
now.. Jonathan williams, will be the steal of the draft. he can do it all
UTEP's running back we played this year i'd take him over collins 7 days a week. dude could and did do everything short of dropping babck add throwing the ball

Dude you just wrote all of that shite for no reason. Hes a great RB that will be drafted when he comes out either this year or next and he will be a good back in the NFL. One year isn't going to change much of anything for him. Hopefully he just wants to get a degree and plays for us another year.

I know it definitely contributed to our loss. They wore our DTs, especially our true froshies the hell out and they'd played outstanding against everyone else (other good OLs inluded). Even MLB Kirkland remarked on Arky being so big and physical and I think he's gonna be one of the best we've ever had at that position but he too was a true froshie.
That said, Collins did tons on his own. The OL opened the way, sure but his moves made things happen. I wouldn't undervalue him because of the OL even though they certainly helped him out.
I think he's better than you give him credit for although he's not the best ever, he's no slouch and has tons of room to improve in the pros as many RBs have.

Fan logic at its finest. So he has never caught passes or ran routes at Arky, but he needs to return to do those things.
He can learn to do that just as well in the NFL getting paid.
I hope the Cowboys take Collins in the late 2nd. He would be great behind that OL. Plus the Jones Arky connection and McFadden sucks.
