nah
he's a better overall back because of the added weight and it's not an experiment. it's the way he's gonna have to play at the next level as a more durable back, compared to the alex collins that came in that would go down from a slap on the back. this is just his first year playing at that weight so it's obviously going to take some getting used to after he'd played at a lesser weight his whole life. next year he should be a monster with more time in the weight room and more experience playing at that weight.
also I'll take bert's vision for what a running back should be over a lot of internet coaches

Collins' assets are his shiftiness and ability to recognize the hole as it develops and quickly cut to it, and the weight gain seems to have zapped his acceleration from the point where he sees it develop. I'm seeing a ton of carries where he's hit at the line of scrimmage after switching directions and/or making a jump cut, and last year he would've taken most of those for positive yardage. Who knows if our offensive line isn't giving him the push or if his weight gain has had an adverse effect.
