on a site note, I still can't believe Charles Woodson is a Packer. The second wolverine, second and only second player I actually hunted down to watch during College games... is a Packer. For those who don't know, I liked Desmond Howard big time back in the day, and same with Charles Woodson.

I was soooo mad when we let Desmond Howard go. You do NOT let go of a player who performs like that. You pay them what they're worth.

He goes and turns out to be nothing for the Raiders, because he's a bad fit on that system. He was a tremendous fit with us. He helped us win a SB, but also kept every opposing team on their toes because everyone knew he could change a game at any time.

Anyways, I shouldn't have taken out what you said about Collins. I felt the same way. I was frustrated with him earlier. Yes, he was ok against the run but hold on to the damn ball when the opposing QB throws it near you.

Now, you're seeing a whole new Collins. He's jumping a pass and holding on to them. I'm loving it. 3 INTs already. This Packer team is banged up, and takeaways can help us win games. We may have to depend on them this year to win.

Desmond wasn't let go. He wanted to be a WR, the Packers were deep there and wanted him to continue PR/KR.

I always like Charles Woodson, I had a poster of him up on my wall when I was in middle school and high school as a Raider. True Gamer.

I gotta give it up to Collins, from the time Leroy agreed to let him have his #36, I was intrigued.

I think it was Collins' second year in the league, in a game against the Cleveland Brown where Braylon Edwards caught a pass and ran to score a long TD. In the replay, Collins was the only player who actually ran behind Edwards the entire way, even though Edwards had a good 20 yard lead. That's the stuff that's telling, IMO.

Collins has so much athletic ability, but I think his speed and hitting ability are over looked. He's a real good tackler, but more importantly he can chase RBs from behind and stop them from turning a big play into a huge play (IE scoring a TD).

It's kinda scary to think what he'd be able to do if his back wasn't injured this year. He's a key component of our Defence. Nick, you da man. :D

Rouse is a good pass defender and really helps on the deep ball

I don't think this can be said for Rouse in his second season. Which is sad, he displayed unbelievable game-changing ability in his first year, he looks more like a rookie this year though.

This goes along with what I've said a few times now about Nick Collins and year four. Those who want the source link, well, PackersNews.com doesn't go this far back.
