I would hold your horses on Collins. This pre season talk is just that. It means nothing and we hear this positive talk about certain players every year. The guy can not run and has little quickness.

He's healthy now, and the article clearly stated he looks "faster than ever." He also knows this new regime isn't screwing around and will cut him if it's best for the team. I agree he hasn't worked out so far. But he's still fairly young and can regain form. I will be cautiously optimistic with him.

If he can just be baked chicken instead of BBQ I'll take it. He isn't that old and was pretty damn good before. He should be able to be at least playable.

But I agree, my horses are in the barn on him until he is playing against other teams.

August right before pre season games is always the time when feel good puff stories come out.

I think if we accept Collins for who he is and what he brings - in box safety, on field coach for secondary - we wouldnt be so hard on him.

Hes clearly overpaid for his skill set as in box safeties are dime a dozen imo but hes one of the better ones. Seems like he brings a good vet approach to working out, putting in work, team seems to like him.
