Does anyone else get a bad feeling this guy sounds like a drama stirrer and/or snitch?
It seems like when there is a story about a player who has team issues around him, Collins is the name thst gets quoted as the source to the media.
Love the player, def do not like this personality for locker room chemistry. I hope it isn’t a chronic issue.
For years things happening in the locker room would leak from "anonymous locker room sources". At least Collins owns his opinions.
Could be immaturity.
Of course if you want to take the Machiavellian side, one could think that management told him to say those things in order to send a message to Flowers. I don't think this is the case, but it is possible.
And for what it's worth, he was one of the last guys to keep saying he believed in McAdoo and didn't think the coach was the problem last year.
We all knew McAdoo was part of the problem and I'm sure Landon did too - but I thought he did well in terms of not letting anything he said become a story. He said all the right stuff.
He answers the questions pretty honestly and does his best not to throw people under the bus.
Snitch - not reading it that way. Probably should have kept it to himself, but, don't think he did it to throw EF under the bus.

I couldn't agree more. I watched the interview twice and Collins is not a snitch. Flowers is supposed to be a pro. So show the team that you are strong player that can get the job done. Play your ass off and you will start (RT) and prove that you deserve a big contract next year here or somewhere else.
Quote:
it's hard to come to that conclusion. If anything, he was defending Eli. And in Flowers case, he is responding to a direct question about Flowers not being there as best he can. It's hardly breaking news that Flowers is upset that he lost his spot to Nate Solder.

Agreed!
Landon may be stepping up to a leadership role and sending a public message to Flowers after a private contact failed. It's been said that Flowers may be immature at 23, but I don't think the NYG want any part of immaturity at such a critical position if it carries over onto the field (practice habits, listening to coach's advice etc.) Ereck seems to epitomize the exact opposite of what Gettleman and Shurmer have defined as players they want on the team; those who hate to lose and want to leave it all on the field.
Maybe he will mature about saying too much or learn to not say it publicly Still pretty young.
Go back and see Strahan quotes while he was on Giants team .. he spoke up and said much more provocative things

Strahan once answered a female reporter's question in a terse manner. OMG he's worse than Hitler!
