Todd Collins who is this guy

Tim was a solid and dependable guy-- In the preseason that is. I felt confident in him- he's not terrible. I just liked the title of this thread" Who is this guy" what is this amateur night? Apparently so Todd.

The only purpose I see Collins serving is to show Jason Campbell precisely what NOT to do as a QB. I think Saunders brought him in to show everyone how to run the opposite of what he wants to run.

i mean its been said before...but it is kinda hard keeping your cool when 3 Dlinemen are rushing you....i mean i know campbell had the same line and all but colins had less than a second before he got owned....Horrible safety tho.....

Yeah, the botched handoff set me into hysterics.

I wanted to tell him it would be okay, but that would have been a lie.

if thats true, i'd says he did a pretty good job!

Todd Collins? he's the assistant playbook coach.

Many a baby was conceived to the soothing sounds of the mandolin strumming of Todd Collins (http://www.toddcollinsmusic.com/)

he was behind what i consider as the worst back-up o-linemen in the league. He is like a coach. He knows the offense. Al Saunders knows the offense but probably can't QB it. Collins is important as he gives advice to brunell and campbell. Wouldn't be surprised if he coaches under saunders in the future. They are so high up on him and how he helps out. Like gibbs says, at the end of a segment at a meeting about a formation he and saunders ask collins to talk about what he knows, from a QB's perspective, in that formation.

If he is as good as he is said to be you can see him being a QB coach under saunders in the future. I mean, i don't know his skills as a coach but gibbs says he is crucial to campbell's development and i am sure he could do a hell of a job with the information he knows.

Ugh. What do we do about the backups? They were awful. No one on the OL can get hurt.

I was thinking the same thing. This thread says serves as much to illustrate the deficiencies of Collins as it does the woeful performance of the backup O-linemen. About the only thing they did worse than pass block was run block. Carter, Cartwright and Broughton ran into a wall of surging defensive linemen. Atrocious.

The top two vets who are expected to backup the starting five are Tyson Walter and Mike Pucillo. Those are the two to keep your eye on. God help us if there are more than two injuries at any given point in the season.

out of curiosity, did jason campbell run under the same back-up o-line?
