Yea, Les doesn't play freshmen..... Signed, The 20 or so players that played the last couple year as True Freshmen. Collins will have a shot, just like every player on the team, what he does with it is his choice. When in high school, you are the best player on the team, in college, you are one of the players on the team. You see the same thing in the Pros, everyone gets the same shot. Remember, when Matt Flynn was drafted, GB took another QB a few rounds earlier, guess whos still with GB, both had the same shot.
Edwards came in an has played DE and DT(kind of like Brockers), this helps. Downs is the olny Sr. DT on this team. Still got some youth in this position. Two DT were Red-Shirted last year.
I love Brandon Taylor. I think he will be good at the NFL level. He is 5th on someone's list of top 5 safeties in this year's draft (Mayock, Kiper, McShay?).

McShay.[/QUOTE] Taylor should do well. The battle for backup TE should be a good one. This along with LB positions.
I think Williford is more likely to lose his job to Collins than Hurst of Faulk. He barely beat T-Bob for the starting position.
Thank you! Saying he gets burned way too often ignores the fact that the QB is making perfect throws with him in the pass catchers hip pocket. Sure, he's gotten burned by a step or two (think WVU), but that happens occasionally even to the best of em. With HB7, and imperfect throw is a turnover. He's actually very good in coverage. He's just short. And he should play more safety.
I think Collins is a left guard until Faulk leaves. He should get two good years at LT after this year because Faulk is probably gone if he has another year like he had in 2011.
Collins seems kind of short for an SEC or an NFL tackle. Height gives you leverage which is damned important versus the big, quick defensive ends in the SEC. Collins reminds me of Lance Smith, who was a short tackle for LSU at 6-3, but became a prototype guard in the NFL for 12 years.
