The Safety starved Giants just traded their 4th and their second 7th to move up and grab Alabama Safety Landon Collins. Let's hope Spags has a really specific roll in mind for Landon, because I do not think he can be used in man-to-man coverage, but should be a force in the box and perhaps in the zone. More fast than quick is the problem is coverage, but plenty fast and can probably become a special blitzer. I'd hate to think we just reached for need and hope to discover that Spags loves him and has a way to maximize him against modern NFL offenses. If he can do that, he could be the new Rolle.
Btw, this is another team captain with a great reputation.

He played at my alma mater, and yeah, he struggles in coverage. But he's a hard hitter and is a smart player. Some wonder if he'd be better as an OLB than a S.
Happy for him, as he was fun to watch in his three years at 'Bama.
Spags is about putting the heat on the quarterback
Willie Brown makes even me feel young
But it's hard to believe that need wasn't a factor
They would have given Spags any player left... so this has to be for Spags.
Reese says he's versatile can play free or strong or LB.
No, he'll play in the box.
That's what I would think
I think is the kind a guy you could also use to pt on a mobile quarterback
He's a great tackler, with good straightline speed and a bad three cone, so I don't know how that won't lead to some bad misses against really mobile QB's.
Conversely, I think he can give us our best blitzer since Sehorn from the DB spot.
Isn't part of shadowing a quarterback reducing their options so you are able to get help tackling?
Ross said he blew them away in the interview.
Good to know they understood him through his thick Louisiana accent. :-)
