Did you know he ran the forty in 4.36? He was on the Mike McCarthy show tonight and someone asked him what he ran the forty in because he ran someone down from behind. I think Harvin?

Either way, that's one fast freaking safety.

Yeah, I noticed that. He's freaking fast.

I'm actually a big Collins fan and glad he's on the team. He's pretty solid.

Yeah, I knew that. He has run people down before. He is fast, and he has been hitting lately.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Yeah.. I was shocked to see him run down Harvin. Seeing as every other big return Harvin had (the 2 returned for TDs) Harvin burned those coverages.. I was shocked to see how slow Harvin looked compared to Collins.

Why is that sarcastic? When I saw him break the sound barrier and catch Harvin, I was thinking the same thing.

Collins has been arguably the fastest safety since he entered the league. For a ball hawking safety that's a good quality to have.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I would just say with our luck he would get hurt from it, and you know how deep we are at safety. still he would be good, but would it be worth it?

Only person I've seen in a green jersey who looked faster on special teams than Collins looked chasing down Harvin was Corey Bradford running down a kick returner against (I think) Detroit.

Collins showed freakish speed there.

dfosterf (40m) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (42m) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (59m) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (19h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (23h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (28-Apr) : T.O. son signs with the 49ers

Mucky Tundra (28-Apr) : damn those vikings

beast (27-Apr) : UDFA Vikings sign TE – Trey Knox, South Carolina

beast (27-Apr) : Kitchen was all high from Miami, he was more lucky than talented in 2022 and it showed in 2023

beast (27-Apr) : Reportedly Packers have UDFAs Jennings and Jones

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : Z, could you please combine my thread with yours please. I obviously did not see it when I Created it

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Re: 'Kool-Aid' McKinstry. Other than Icky Woods, has there ever been a good NFLer with a childish nickname?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Packers looking to trade up

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Flag?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Sag?
