Yea and he probably goes by the name "Cupcakes" Collins.

You also have to remember that Collins apparently burned bridges here with the team.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

I was actually going to bring that up, but I couldn't remember for sure, and I still don't remember what happened.

I don't know about everything he might have done, but I do recall that he pretty much refused to play OG when we had 2 decent OTs but were desperate for an OG.

Have you ever noticed whenever a player stinks they tell us how athletic they ? When they say you're athletic it pretty much equates to something not good .
Its like a friend telling you, She has a great personality.

If we're on the prowl for ex-Bengals OTs, I think both Reid Fragel and Tanner Hawkinson aren't on a team currently. I am sort of surprised we don't have an OT on the practice squad (we have a couple of Gs in Trey Hopkins and Alex Redmond).

Hopkins can play OT, atleast according to Lapham and he has long arms.
Might be the fall back.

I know the coaches weren't happy with him refusing to move to guard. I also believe the team was ticked about the Jerome Simpson incident, with the weed.

Might explain why we didn't bring him back when Tampa dropped him.
