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.

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.

joepacker (6h) : new to this maybe question n wrong place?

joepacker (6h) : how did the packers mostly shut down the eagles passin attack and specifically how did they manage such a good job on aj brown?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Per his dad

Zero2Cool (10h) : Watson to have his surgery soon, and should be back around Week 12, with a normal rehab.

beast (11h) : More likely to listen if the guy controlling the ball is the one telling them

beast (11h) : Apparently because players aren't doing the small things when the coaches tell them, and LaFleur believes they're more likely

Zero2Cool (13h) : Jordan isn't a vocal guy. Why not let him lead his way?

Zero2Cool (13h) : I'm not sure it ever bodes well when you have to tell your team leader to be more vocal.

Zero2Cool (13h) : CFL. Nice.

Mucky Tundra (14-Jan) : Anyone else abhor MNF wildcard games?

Martha Careful (14-Jan) : Why is it that the Rams rookies can contribute right away but our first and second year guys are too young to contribute in a meaningful way

Martha Careful (14-Jan) : Yes, Saquon Barkley had a very nice game. But he has a much better offensive line in front of him. I'll take Josh Jacob's. I love the guy
