Todd Collins who is this guy

[PorterHouse]

Is it me or does this guy suck. I didnt see anything from this guy in the scrimmage or the game last night.

[Redskins_P]

There is a very good reason that he hasn’t started a game since 97 and he showed why last night.

[MTK]

I'd like to see him play with the first team offense before I write him off completely.

Our backup OL was horrible.

But his overall decision making wasn't very good. He should have thrown 2 picks and the 2nd one would have been a TD.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yup, I was just going to say what Matty said. To his credit, he was about to get sacked almost every play.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I said it last night, but I thought he looked okay when he wasnt't getting pressured. He seemed to make the right reads and got the ball to the open man.
However, I guess any NFL QB should be able to do that with no one rushing them.
On the other hand, if a defender was within 2 yards of him it seemed like he was going to mess himself.

[724Skinsfan]

I could almost hear the Homer Simpson shriek when he was being pressured.

[BigSKINBauer]

he was behind what i consider as the worst back-up o-linemen in the league. He is like a coach. He knows the offense. Al Saunders knows the offense but probably can't QB it. Collins is important as he gives advice to brunell and campbell. Wouldn't be surprised if he coaches under saunders in the future. They are so high up on him and how he helps out. Like gibbs says, at the end of a segment at a meeting about a formation he and saunders ask collins to talk about what he knows, from a QB's perspective, in that formation.

If he is as good as he is said to be you can see him being a QB coach under saunders in the future. I mean, i don't know his skills as a coach but gibbs says he is crucial to campbell's development and i am sure he could do a hell of a job with the information he knows.

Ugh. What do we do about the backups? They were awful. No one on the OL can get hurt.

I was thinking the same thing. This thread says serves as much to illustrate the deficiencies of Collins as it does the woeful performance of the backup O-linemen. About the only thing they did worse than pass block was run block. Carter, Cartwright and Broughton ran into a wall of surging defensive linemen. Atrocious.

The top two vets who are expected to backup the starting five are Tyson Walter and Mike Pucillo. Those are the two to keep your eye on. God help us if there are more than two injuries at any given point in the season.

out of curiosity, did jason campbell run under the same back-up o-line?

[gibbs4life]

he appeared to be scared of his own shadow last night.
i guess it,s called preseason football when you play everybody inwhich joe did last night.
cincy on the other hand wanted this game in the worst way but again it,s just preseason.

[JWsleep]

Campbell played behind the same o-line or worse--he didn't look like a scared rabbit. Collins hit a few nice intermediate routes--the bread and butter of Saunders offense. But, come on. THat was weak.

He'll get a few more chances, so we'll see.

[RiggoRules]

Safety, INT, Center/QB exchange fumble.

It was a pretty bad performance. The excuses don't matter (and many can be made). What happens in the next 3 pre-season games does. He certainly left the door to the #2 slot on the depth chart pretty wide open.

[superskins]

almost 2 int to linemen. one of those was in the endzone which would of been a td

[Monkeydad]

I hope Collins never has to play in the regular season. That was one of the ugliest performances I've ever seen, next to Alex Smith's regular season game against the Colts last year where he was 9/23, 4 INTs, 2 fumbles (1 lost) for an 8.5 QB rating.
