Linebackers Hunting The Ball

by Mike Spofford, Packers.com
posted 08/01/2006

On the opening night of training camp Friday, when a Packers linebacker was tackling a ballcarrier or chasing down a reception in the flat, defensive coordinator Bob Sanders could be heard barking the same phrase over and over.

"Get the ball out! Get the ball out!"

Call it one of the training camp mantras of 2006, a mandate that the Packers' defense, and particularly the linebackers, find a way to force more turnovers. . . . for more please see :

ANYONE!

I should know the answer to this - but I don't.

What is up with Nick Collins? I see no sign nor hair of him, in TC photo's or inthe press coverage and I'm somewhat taken back here. I am having, a devil of a time, locating the Packer's updated injury report.

Can anyone - inform me of the status of Nick Collins ?

It's as if he disappeared. Even on Packers.com, there are no photos, no vidoes, and no reference to Nick Collins since the first mini-camp.

Yes ! I can't determine squat on Nick Collins.

Will hang with this though.

Thanks a bunch, ny10804. :mrgreen:

Here and there, they make a play that jumps out. Donald Driver ran a go pattern across the field Sunday morning and caught a pass from Aaron Rodgers when safety Nick Collins was late to pick him up on a switch with cornerback Charles Woodson. Later, Rodgers hit rookie Greg Jennings on a deep corner. Jennings also has caught some passes over the middle from Favre. And there was the Favre to Driver 75-yard TD against Woodson in seven-on-seven Friday night.

Secondary

Free agent pickup Charles Woodson will do what Mike Sherman never could — kick Ahmad Carroll out of the starting lineup. The former Raider will join Al Harris as part of a suddenly impressive cornerback duo. At safety, Marquand Manuel joins Nick Collins as a young hard-hitting starter.

PackersNews.com
Jennings has two drops. They didn't come against Al Harris, Charles Woodson or Nick Collins, though. They came against air.

I think there's not a lot of stuff said about him right now is because he's projected to be the starter and playing to expectations (and perhaps being a little boring for the photographers). He is not injured.

Thanks Ziggy.

Great investigative reporting. :mrgreen:

GO PACKERS !

My very positive explanation: Nick is playing so fast - the pictures all come out with him blurry, so they do not get posted.
