Maliek Collins Impressing Cowboys Coaches With Push For Playing Time - David Helman, Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys may have provided a preview of their starting D-line against the Bears when they moved Tyrone Crawford to DE and played Maliek Collins alongside Terrell McClain at defensive tackle against Washington.
"Maliek did a good job in the game," Garrett said. "He was pretty active, not only affecting the quarterback and being around the ball when they ran it inside but he made some good plays coming out of the stack."
With the Cowboys hurting for pass rush production, it sounds like they might turn to this formation once more against the Bears.
It’s pretty remarkable, given the rookie’s trajectory so far this season. Collins broke his foot back during OTAs, and he missed the vast majority of training camp. Typically, when a rookie misses that much development, it takes time to acclimate to this level of play.
If that’s been a problem for Collins, though, he isn’t showing it.
