I can't believe I'm saying this, but Sanders didn't tell Collins to blow the coverage so badly.

TO.P, how many times has this D had trouble with zone?
Communication issues, coverage breakdowns, etc.
Quite simply, the Packers forte is bump and run. That's what Al is best at, and has done pretty darn well after returning from his injury. Play to the strengths of your D, which clearly has been proven many a time is not zone.
As for Collins, yeah he blew the coverage real bad, missed a tackle too, but I'm beginning to think he's playing more hurt than anyone realizes, which is really limiting his play. Given that Collins is one to throw his body around, play aggressive, his body can't sustain his style of play...
