LJ Collier starting at 5T over Rasheem Green

[chris98251]

I think the first game was a bit of a preseason test with a heavy rotation of Collier, Moore and Green to see where they fit in situations. I think Collier had a nice game and flashed a bit early. Green was invisible other then one decent run stop. Moore also didn't flash much.

I think the Hawks will figure out these guys role as the season goes on. But I haven't seen enough from Green to suggest he should be a clear starter over Collier. He's a 3rd rounder for a reason and it's clear part of that is consistent motor. I think they liked Collier because he doesn't take plays off.

Griffin was a 3rd rounder, Sherm a 5th Rounder, Kam a 5th rounder, Russell Wilson a 3rd rounder, John Randall Undrafted.

Measurables are nice, but heart still can't be measured.

Collier had a few really bright moments Sunday. I don't know if he was credited with a sack on the play where he had Ryan in the grasp and Ryan intentionally grounded the ball, but he sure should have been. Loss of down and -10 yards is a sack play any way you look at it.

It also a matter of adjustment, Falcons made adjustment to Collier ... Now it's time for Collier to learn and advance.

If you done your job well enough to make the defense adjust to you, you've done a good job.
