But let's not relive the debacle that was Dworaczyk playing guard in 2009 & '10


I'm not one of the people on this board that blast people for anything I disagree with. In fact, I went to the same HS as Collins. He's a great kid and an outstanding lineman. However, if you get the chance to watch replays of games Josh D played in, watch the line of scrimmage, not the just the RBs like most people do. You will see why he consistently graded out so high. To call his play a "debacle" is a bit unfair.

Nope. I did watch every game. Always do, then watch the replays and focus primarily on the lines.

Dworaczyk always had one glaring issue. Getting overpowered at the point of attack. YOU should watch replays of the games if you are unaware of this. The rest of his game seemed to be fine.

He moved pretty well. Never recall him being out of position, or just blowing an assignment. But he never could match up with the big SEC DTs. He got pushed back into the backfield often blowing up plays, gave up sacks and was just physically dominated.

He played guard out of necessity, just like T-Bob. And it is no longer necessary. We have a physical anomaly who can take the reins at left guard. Btw, Collins will be much better than Blackwell ever was.

Why do you think neither Dworaczyk or Hebert ever generated any draft buzz at a place like LSU where backups get drafted? Because you turn on the tape of '09 & '10 and you see those guys get blown up and overmatched physically on a routine basis.

This. Most people dont realize he was possibly our best player on the OL two years ago. JD will be a great asset to our team this year.

I remember seeing Josh D get handled, quite a bit. Nick Farley ate him alive during the Auburn game.
