He is going to have to play like an all pro for the rest of the season if the line is going to have any chance minus Melton. With that said, Adam Hoge on Twitter said that Collins has outplayed Melton since training camp anyway. Is that true? Yeah, I don't know about Melton. I'm a huge fan of how he came up through the ranks, performed really well and got a pro bowl bid. But he was pretty much nonexistent in the early going. If he would have become the same player as last year (certainly possible), then he's a loss and we will miss that. But the guy who showed up in games 1-3 can be replaced by pretty much anyone. I hate seeing guys lose a season like that though. I still don't think Melton would have played this bad all season though
