Re: Alex Collins
He's been laying low and I love it. No talk about migraines either.

Re: Alex Collins
Everything Ive heard/read says he's ready for another monster season. He added 5lbs of muscle and still very elusive and fast. Should be a great season for him.

Re: Alex Collins
When I went to Training Camp I noticed that he was blowing off the line and sprinting down the field after the whistle. He spurred Buck Allen and Gus Edwards to do the same thing.
Keeping my fingers crossed that he can step up and be the RB-threat.Captain Offense

Re: Alex Collins
Last season Collins had nearly 1,000 yards and he didn't even have double digit attempts until the fourth game (in which he only had 12). He only had 20 attempts in a game twice last year. I think by him having the starting job from the start and them increasing his attempts over the season compared to last year he is poised for a big year and we should expect really good numbers from him. He was consistent last year but he only had two games over 100 yards which is directly connected to his modest number of carries and his issue with migraines I think. So if he gets 20+ attempts most games he should have a breakout season. I'm excited to watch him. Just hopefully he stays healthy and doesn't get a case of fumbleitis which could limit his carries.

Re: Alex Collins
Collins looked good to me, although at Sunday's practice I noticed Buck Allen a lot more. Dixon better get it together, or he's going to get left out of the mix, because these guys look ready and hungry.

Re: Alex Collins
The only thing I worry about is that Collins visibly worn down by the end of the season. I am hoping that it's because he just wasn't used to a full season of being a starting back, so last year it was kind of similar to him hitting the rookie wall. Either way, we are going to rely on Buck a lot this season in order to keep Collins fresh.
