LoganF89 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Just saw on Instagram there is a chance Collins is coming back. Was a post on Twitter by Chad Ryan that both sides remain interested. Landon’s “bet on himself” mantra must not of gone over well with other teams lol if the deal is good I welcome him back in the hybrid role or LB role. I want nothing to do with him as our starting SS he was actually pretty stellar in the hybrid! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also understand it if they decided to just move on and role w/ Jamin as the starting WLB & our Buffalo nickel being Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I have on idea what else their plan would be for a role they basically built with his skillset especially when they chose to pass on Hamilton....

MKnight82 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Honestly I'd rather just try a guy like Hudson in this role and give all the Safety snaps to our younger guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the question is…are we trying to win or not? If we want to win, Landon Collins is 10x better than Khaleke Hudson in that role. He gets such a bad rap because he struggles in deeper, wider coverage assignments — but he’s a legitimately excellent player near the line of scrimmage. He was probably the most impactful player we had on defense (except perhaps Allen) when they had him in that “you’re not a LB, we swear” role that put him up near the LOS. If we’re just in it to hoard cap space and try to develop young guys, okay. Stuff Hudson or Darrick Forrest or some guy like that into that role. But we’re more likely to win games with Collins, and they should pay him some money for that role if they’re not planning to slide Davis into it.

Doc Draper Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I don’t see how they can bring him back or more pointedly how he could decide to come back. Putting myself in his shoes I’d sign anywhere else for less money than having to walk that walk of shame into this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn’t see this amazing play from Collins at linebacker that everyone is talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because teams can still throw the ball to his zone on defense but he was more impactful at the LOS and in the run game. His lapses in coverage weren’t as huge because his 10 to 15 yard zone was a lot smaller then whatever the length of the field was behind him at SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no clue how you missed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had 2 ints, 1 FF and 3 sacks in the entire season. How is that playing “extremely well”? Seriously I would expect a 7th round pick to have those stats if given a chance to start an entire year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely was expecting more from Davis and he couldn't even outperform your expected 7th round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hate Landon and it clouds your view of anything good he does. Just is what it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want to go with the youth movement like Hudson or Forrest as the Buffalo Nickle, this is the correct take. Collins will make more splash plays, can make some game changing plays as a blitzer and in the box/around the line of scrimmage much moreso than a Hudson or Forrest.
