Michael Griffin and Kerry Rhodes I'd take over Collins, but after that I can't see anyone else. I do like Landry's upside. I see a big year coming from him so I'd probably take him on the projection that he'd breakout.

Overall I'd rate it like this

1. Ed Reed
2. Adrian Wilson
3. Troy Polamalu
4. Bob Sanders
5. Kerry Rhodes
6. Chris Hope
7. Michael Griffin
8. Nick Collins

Rhodes? Hope? No way!

Ed Reed is a monster. We should trade Rodgers for him. 🙂

I personally can't wait to see what Collins will do this year. I'm sure they'll have creative ways of utilizing him. I know that there's a decent amount of talent at safety going into this year, but I think Collins' Pro Bowl effort last year solidified a starting spot for him (or at least decent playing time).

When Collins gets the ball in his hands he's an absolute beast. Hopefully he can prove that last year's 7 interceptions weren't a fluke. Remember, he had three defensive touchdowns last year (lead the NFL) and his 295 interception return yards puts him at sixth ALL-TIME in that single season category -- only the likes of "Night Train" Lane, Deion Sanders and Ed Reed had more yards from interceptions.

I think Nick is dangerously fast for a safety and has great playmaking skills with the ball. I also think the rest of our defense is crafty for clearing lanes for him once he has the ball.

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

Well I can't be for sure but I think you could argue Collins between 5 and 8.

The four I'm not sure I'd put Collins ahead of is

1) Polamalu
2) Reed
3) Sanders (if healthy)
4) Oshiomogho Atogwe (okay he's team is bad... that doesn't mean he is... maybe I'm over rating him who knows but from what little I've seen he can be awesome)

Yeah, Oshiomogho Atogwe is quite a ball-hawking safety. He's very talented and takes great angles on his hits as well.

Nnamdi Asomugha is a corner for the Raiders. Probably the best in the league... but he plays for a team that I believe is worse than Detroit.

I think the former Bear, Mike Brown, is one of the better safeties in the league, but if a tumbleweed were to hit him in the elbow--he'd be out for two years. So I guess being brittle doesn't get you anywhere.

beast (8h) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (12h) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (12h) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (12h) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (12h) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Ravens release Justin Tucker, err D. Watson Jr?

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
