[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 68219, member: 288"] I am no expert, but with the stance and style that Colledge plays, I think he is a natural fit for a tackle and a really bad fit inside. Darren plays upright and tall... which is how a tackle for the most part plays... Tackle is more about footwork and balance than leverage and strength. Well at least in the passing game, to be able to slide the pressure up field and past the QB.. whereas a guards job is more to stone the defender and not allowing him to get any push whatsoever. In the running game a tackles job is almost every play a seal and contain position verus a get under them and push them out of the way or "driving" them. With a ZB system which we were trying to install without having to push the interior lineman out.. Colledge had a chance... but in a drive scheme which it seems is more the technique of choice currently with our team.. he is a bad fit in passing and running options... but that doesn't mean he can't utilize his talent and footwork and move to tackle and excell. I think the Packers tried to put the most talent 5 on the oline on the field at one time... but Colledge was a poor fit at guard.. so alas after x number of weeks and healthy return of Coston and the lineup was shaken up a bit with mucho success so far... time will tell though.
