Wrt AC:
--
What have you seen from Alex Collins these last couple of weeks?
He’s doing his job. He’s getting out there and he’s pounding away. We’re fortunate to have him. He’s been a guy that’s steady and physically fit and all that. He’s banging away in the running game a bit, he caught a couple passes, he did a nice solid job.
Thanks for this, pretty much how I've described AC so far, "solid", "steady".
I think the complaints of AC looking slow are partially due to him still getting a feel for the pro level.
Also compounded by comparisons against C-Mike, who is lightening quick. But there have been plays when AC bounced it outside and he seemed to have plenty of quickness then.
Complaints about other RBs not being durable, or not having an "NFL body" don't apply to AC, and CPC seemed to address that above, he can take a licking and keep on ticking. I don't believe he's ever missed a game at RB, on any level, unreal.
Not going to have mental lapses either, smart guy with a good head and good feel for the game.
I really believe he is the most complete back we have, and when he's fully accustomed to the pro level, he will really shine, he will have many productive years.
