Collins coming all the way back?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Regarding our secondary - it's interesting that these two will be free agents next year - at least that's what I read on another forum

SS Bob Sanders, Indianapolis Colts

CB Asante Samuel , New England Patriots

They'll probably get tagged

Does that extra cap space the Packers have roll over to the following year?

I don't see us being able to draw a Nate Clements or Asante Samuel while Woodson and Harris are both on the team. We'll have to develop our future corners from within.

You and I argued about Samuel in the off-season. I'm on your team now. Man, he's fallen off a lot. He also got tagged in the off-season, doubt he'll get it again. We will need corner help. Al is playing on sheer guts. I'd wonder if he's got a year left.

Anybody want to change their vote?

Bill Michaels on Packer Radio Network is confident that Rouse is going to keep the job. Bill Michaels knows what he's talking about - he's on the radio!

Rouse looked good. I really havn't missed Collins, at all.

[Scott Campbell]

Funny how he was in the right spot so often today. He gets his hands on a lot of balls - even if he only caught one.

Rouse has better ball skills then Collins. Collins is a better tackler. Rouse will learn to tackle better in the future this would be his job to lose. Rouse is a big presence out there with his size + reach. If that WR didn't bat the ball down in the Endzone he would have had 2 picks today.

I like Nick Collins as a player but in only two weeks as a starter Aaron Rouse is making more plays than Nick Collins had made all year.

I think Rouse should continue starting.

Is Collins better than Bigby?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Rouse faced Brooks Bollinger and Vinny Testaverde. He missed 3 tackles last week. He dropped what should have been an interception today. If Collins had done the same thing, people would be ripping him. Safety in Green Bay is like QB in other cities. Fans always like the backup.

NO WAY!!

Bigby is a rugged, nastly little fucker. I don't take him out for any of the guys we have now.

Collins had big expectations after his rookie year. He hasn't gotten much better, but he's been solid this year. He hasn't missed tackles. He hasn't gotten beat any more than Woodson, Harris or Bigby and all of those guys are pretty good. He's done a pretty good job, but he hasn't been what we hoped he would be so it seems like he is doing bad when really he's just a solid player.

I think you are right that Rouse misses more tackles and although Rouse is bigger, I think Collins hits harder.

This discussion shouldn't can't include Bigby in any way. He is better then Collins or Rouse when it comes to laying people out. He is THROWING himself into opponents without any care about his own health. It more then makes up for the stupid shit he does. He has to be a big concern to opponents knowing he will be trying go Ivan Drago and "break them".
