As bad a signing as the Haynesworth one, at least Collins attitude is not shitty.

If Ron gonna bench Haskins for play, Collins should be bench starting today.

We have more problems on this D than just Collins. They were getting gashed from all angles today in the first half when most of the damage was done.

And the stat line on offense doesn't exactly match up with what we saw on the field. It was pouring rain in the second half, to the point completed passes were rare. The Rams had two completed passes on their lone TD drive in the second half. Also their d-line was ragdolling our o-line the entire second half, Smith never had much time to throw.

It wasn't ideal conditions for a qb coming off a 2 year hiatus to come back to. Hence why I'm not gonna throw Smith under the bus. Still if he does come back in, I think it would take him some time to get comfortable enough to be aggressive again. And unless he regains his form this year, my guess is he'll be gone next year when we can handle the cap hit.

End of game

The announcers mentioned Jack Del Rio's gameplan was to force Goff into drop-back passes where our d-line could get pressure, but O'Connell/McVay obviously gameplanned better to avoid that. Easy to get the ball out quick when the coverage isn't tight. I also saw several plays where we got gashed because our defenders stuck to zone coverage and let guys run free when they should've switched to man during the play.

TL;DR: We're still a long ways away from being an elite D.

I think Collins should be a LBer , his play at the line is great and he is a good tackler .I said it when he was a Giant .

Collins is not a good tackler at all. There really isn't anything he does well. He can't cover, he's stiff and he's slow. Yes if you line him up in the hole and he doesn't have to be an athlete then yeah he can hit and make a tackle. But if a back has space to make a move he can't do it. I've seen enough of this guy to know he isn't a good football player.

You know who a good safety is? Tyrann Mathieu. He was there to sign and our front office instead decided to sign this bum.
