Did about as well as a Tackle could do against Watt and Reed there. Are you thinking he could move to the left side or keep him on the right and kick Clabo into RG.

Here's PFF's take on him from their 2012 FA Tackle rankings.

4) Anthony Collins, Cincinnati Bengals

Age as of 1st September, 2012: 26

2011 Grade: +4.3

Key Stat: In four complete games in the last two seasons has allowed only three pressures.

Behind the Numbers: That Collins ranks fourth among free agency tackles shows the depth, or lack thereof, in this tackle class. That is not to say that Collins isn’t a capable player, but with only five starts in the last two seasons, one of which saw him play only 14 snaps, his body of work is somewhat lacking. However Collins’ quality of play in those starts has been extremely impressive and, but for a No. 5 overall pick sitting above him on the depth chart demanding time to bed in, might have seen him earn more playing time. In his only extended stretch as a starter, 13 straight starts from Week 12 2008 to Week 9 2009, Collins proved to be an adequate starter and a team looking to fill a gap for the short term could get a pleasant surprise in Collins who with four years of experience at age 26 this season has plenty of tread left on his tires.

He's a "bargain" option. He's a low risk pick-up that could potentially boom, or just fall into mediocrity once a full load is given to him.

I'd like to see him here. However, Svitek did a great job against Jared Allen this year. That's a feat in itself. I mean, Johnny Knoxville should have hired hired Svitek to protect him from Allen Smile
