Pretty big statement from Ron Rivera - says he told Landon Collins he views him as a downhill linebacker

If he truly believed that (or he was truly in charge of this team) he'd not tell him he views him as an LB, he'd TELL him that's where he's playing or he's on the bench.

I wanted to believe the best of RR but if he truly said that then it's another bit of faith lost. If RR doesn't know by now not to pander to players, he never will. Regardless of their talent, ego and winning personalities, they are employees you the boss should dictate what they do, not the employee.

The NFL doesn't quite work like this, except for a few teams/coaches. Otherwise, teams would have been 100% vaccinated by now.

Agreed. Zero balls. Stop acting like their buddy. Dude is the worst safety in football. Go with the LB experiment.

Writing has been on the wall for the position change and Collins wasn't having it. RR is all talk and no balls.
