Missing Collins was huge. Not that he was better than Cook, but having Collins a year behind Duke would have been like old days. Duke goes down in Tally with broken leg and a beast like Collins comes in and rips heart out of noles with fresh legs. How many times back then was the back up bigger and faster -- seemed like always. Same thing at almost every position(Did anyone really think the next guy up would rival Ed Frigging Reed? Or that in your lifetime TWO guys would stand even or above Bennie Blades?). In the good days, Cook would be in the next year waiting his chance. That is how good we were.
