MichaelWeston Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Collins was NOT our starting LT, he was a backup who was brought in due to injuries to Zeitler then Clint Boling. Would have sat the bench if both were healthy. Whit was moved to LG to help with our anemic run game once Boling went down AND Zeitler was still out. Basically, Whit at guard and Collins at Tackle was a better tandem than Whit at tackle and Collins at guard and it was all predicated on Whit's ability to pull at guard and support the run. Why did they reportedly offer him comparable money to what he was paid in Tampa then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khatmandude Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Why did they reportedly offer him comparable money to what he was paid in Tampa then? I think 'technically' the ones who say that AC was not a starter are correct, as he came in off the bench to play at LT......but I also think that Bengals offering him what they did, put AC as the starting LT if he would have accepted the Bengals' offer vs Tampa's. So both sides are correct....technically he wasn't the starter, but had he signed the contract, he certainly would have been the starting LT.

Jason Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Collins was the 3rd OT here, and would have continued to be the 3rd tackle if he had re-signed. I disagree. Had we retained AC, I believe he was the starting LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 If he is just a backup at LT then of course it's ok that he goes elsewhere. I think people are rationalizing a bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
