HuskerNation1 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Would be great if he succeeds in Dallas. I agree...I'm a Cowboys fan here so it's always nice to see players from your favorite college team go to your favorite NFL team. I think the Cowboys got a steal with him in round 3 as I think he underachieved a bit this past year. Quote Link to comment

They don't have much knowledge of Maliek, but he could succeed as a 3-technique DT for the Cowboys. Dallas needs more bodies on the d-line and Collins could get a good number of snaps in the interior line rotation. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 He flashed on tape when they were scouting Gregory. One way to get looked at. Quote Link to comment

Of course, having two Huskers now doesn't hurt. I expect Collins to play thus season. Quote Link to comment
Husker Psycho Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Congratulations to Maliek Collins. You earned it. How exciting to be able to compete with the elite. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Collins and Gregory back together. An effective college duo. We will see how it works in the NFL. Congrats Maliek! 2 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Looks like he'll probably be battling this guy for a starting spot. Didn't realize the Cowboys had signed a DT in FA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedric_Thornton Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 My hope is that Collins gets plenty of PT in a D-line rotation this year, and then becomes a regular starter by year 2 or 3. Then he can parlay that into a solid 2nd contract, and end up having a 6-8 year career in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Anyone think Jerry took Collins specifically to babysit Randy? Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Anyone think Jerry took Collins specifically to babysit Randy? Considering Randy was smoking pot all through his NU days, you could say that Collins didn't babysit Randy very well in college. I do think that Collins making Randy more "comfortable" in Dallas was a consideration. Randy has said that he turns to smoking pot when he gets depressed, so anything that could help Randy with that depression could work for him. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Anyone think Jerry took Collins specifically to babysit Randy? I honestly think Stephen Jones is calling the shots now, and that is a good thing. In the past Jerry only wanted to draft SEC players, and so far this year the Cowboys have picked 2 Big Ten guys out of their 3 picks. I look for them to take Connor Cook too. Quote Link to comment

The talking heads, last season IIRC, talked about this. Said it was a good thing for the boys. I agree. Cook would be a good get for them. Quote Link to comment
