Collins & Saunders

There's no question Collins knows the offense, and there's no question Saunders' offense can and has worked in the NFL. But we'll just have to see how the two play out over the next few weeks.

Didn't he already prove that with Trent Green? I mean, other than in Saunders' system, has Green ever looked like a NFL starter, week in and week out? Eh, to me, this season was already over so any late run or, gasp, playoff push would be a complete bonus.

What about when Trent Green when he was with the Redskins? But I see your point
