Mel Kiper has a mid-season all rookie team and two of our rookies, Collins and Flowers, are on it. It says a lot that Flowers is able to start at LT in his rookie year. The article has some stats on Collins that are not bad. Interesting to see other rookies. I see Ali Marpet made the team. That was a name a lot of people on the board were looking to get. Scherff is also on. Scherff and Flowers will be like a mini Eli and Rivers debate. Hopefully Flowers shows better this weekend.
All Rookie Team - (
New Window )
May be a bad year for rookie guards.
Yes, well aware of that fact. Was referring to blue42's comment.
I still believe our offense would have really been clicking had Beatty not torn his pectoral and played LT well this year. That would allow Flowers to learn the lesser position of RT where speed is a little less of a problem. Flowers would have been better than Newhouse and Beatty better than Flowers at LT - that is my logic.
I would kill for a monster MLB
Since Flowers is an LOT, he is a lot more valuable than Scherff, IMO.
Collins needs to improve in coverage. I just hope that is something that is coachable. He'll be a very good player if his coverage skills improve.
Will he get better? I'm sure he will....but I haven't seen that "flash" where you think this guy is going to be something special.....however, there are still 6 games left, to show it....
Yeah but that's dumb.
I'm eh on Collins. I think he'll get better, but he's had his ups & downs. He's a liability right now in coverage & that was the word on him out of Alabama.
