Lol but he is kind of adorable though
Yea it's time for Al to retire. Hard to pass up so much money though. He was messing up all game

He's better than herbstreit. All Kirk does is tell us where someone went to college because that's all he knows about.

Al might be a bit off his rocker but he's got a solid voice and that's like 90% of what makes a good commentator for sports

Similar to Krukow and Kuiper. Krukow doesn't even travel for away games and I think there's some games he called remotely. With Kuiper there's a delay to make some calls because I don't think he can see if the ball goes over the fence or not.

07: He gets pushed back by the double team. Bad play.

Double team? Reaching there. I gave him his flowers on that play, he blindly punched the ball out on the button really impressive I don't think it's a fluke either he subconsciously located it and punched it out.
Yet it's the only play we are paying attention to for obvious reasons. I saw a couple other plays that were solid but overall he was getting blown up or stone walled both in passing and run defense.

blindly? I don't think so
Yeah, the blindly take is stupid. Lol, you could see the intentionality in the hammer. A comment like that is just meant to diminish the play.

Dude has already made up his mind on Collins, so everything he posts serves that narrative. It's turned from he sucks at everything, to he sucks minus the good plays where he doesn't suck. Who knows what happens with Collins, but I'm happy to see him play better each week. Arrow up for the rook.

I actually meant it as a complement, as he's falling/diving he knew where the ball was and nailed it. I literally said "I don't think it was a fluke"
The bold is where you are wrong, just cause I'm critical especially about some of the glaze doesn't mean I think he's a bust.
This guy is really getting good. Both the 1st and 2nd round picks look good. He has a good future.

Only a matter of time (weeks) before he takes over and Davis becomes his back up. This could also be said for CJ West over Elliot
I liked the Collins pick, but I would've put money on CJ West being the more impressive rookie IDL between the two. But Collins seems to get better every single week and has outperformed West by a decent margin. This isn't a slight to West all all. Just a nod to how well Collins has been playing.

I saw him bust a nasty spin move last week and stay on his feet. Quite the feat for a dude that's 6-6, 330 pounds. I'm a little surprised by how finesse his rush plan is. It's not a bad thing, but I think he should try more to run through guy's faces. The guy is too damn big and strong to be getting cute most of the time.

I'm in the same boat, I thought CJ West would've made more of an impact than Collins. Its still early so theres still time for West to improve. Lets hope they both improve and become studs for us.
Getting better after each game

LOL
Another fumble recovery.
Dude was really pushing guys back. Collapsing the pocket. That was him on the fumble recovery too. Just keeps looking better and better. He's hungry and talented. Starting to look like a great pick. The first 2 are looking excellent.
