Landon Collins Challenging Dak

the Giant players should all turn into deaf mutes until they make the playoffs again...

and eat up media click bait like it’s a box of reeces pieces...

In a nutshell the dude just said stopping the run to get the ball in daks hands gives them a better chance..


AND WE ARE WRITING ARTICLES AND COMPLAINING ABOUT IT!?

holy fucking overreaction

How dare a Giant fan talk about an unapproved topic (by the all must submit their will to the Mara's head of BBI police) on the Giant fans forum? Especially about Landon Collins talking too much. Where could anyone get that idea? The time he called Eli Apple a cancer? Or the time the new coach asked him to stop talking about how pissed Ereck Flowers was about moving to RT? It must get tiring policing every thread every day for a lack of Mara ball washing. But I'm sure he and his buddies will keep fighting the good fight and hey crappy Giant fans please read the BBI police code of conduct before posting. There's got to be a link to it somewhere. Pat Shurmur wants Landon Collins to stop talking about Ereck Flowers - ( New Window )

If by policing you mean clicking on a thread meant to get clicks and a rise out of people, and then calling said person out on how awful his assessment was since he completely missed the context, then sure, I’ll continue policing.

When clicking on this thread I was expecting to see Collins say “Prescott sucks, he better not try throwing downfield”. Instead he talked about their run game and that they would have more success not letting Elliot run wild and instead force the QB to make plays.

You know, the same exact thing everyone else says when discussing the Cowboys.

a "war of words" between Collins and Prescott.

get caught up in play-action, because Dak can beat you when you're out of position. Stopping the run is first and foremost, but I can see Dallas using our aggressiveness in doing so to make plays.

If Landon had just kept his mouth shut, Dak may have taken it easy Sunday night. But now, we’re fucked.

He gave away the defensive gameplan. There's no way they would have guessed we were going to make stopping Elliot the number one priority otherwise.

I cant believe we let them know we are going to try to stop the run.

Saying we are going to try and stop their best player is giving away some kind of secret? I bet even Dak's mom would admit Elliot is a much bigger threat than Dak.

than Dak? Either way, not smart if for no other reason than tipping your hand at your gameplan.

It gets tiresome watching fans make something out of nothing because they need the drama. I get why the press does it, it sells because people react to it. He's basically saying that you can't win if Elliot is able to find room. That's it. He doesn't say Dak isn't good or they can't win with Dak throwing a lot, he only said that you have a better chance of winning if you can shut down Elliot.

Yes some b*tch fans want to create some drama around it.

Really? Tipping their hand at the gameplan? You don't think Dallas knows that every single team is focused on limiting Elliot? Really? You think if LC didn't say anything, the Cowboys would think our focus is on Allen Hurns and Cole Beasley? GTFO.

who said what about whom. Two teams coming off of a disappointing year that hardly any one outside their passionate fans base is talking about. Dak is an average QB with below average WRs and a very good, but injured OL. Eli is now an average QB with above-average WRs and a horrible OL. Both Ds are decent. Game is in Dallas. Cowboys have won last 2 and 7 of last 10. There's your game summary.

Uh, I don't get the 'outrage'. That's it? I thought it was going to be a lot more damming.

While I agree on dak, the giants have a history of problems with running QB's (see Bortles 40 plus yard run). So if they go heavy RPO it could be a long day for the D.

if collins tipped their hand and called out zeke, then zeke called out his own qb before the season when he said he knows he will see stacked boxes to stop him...

the cowboys already knows this...

and dak saying challenge accepted is laughable, like he did not know this would be the giants gameplan

Prescott isn't really a running QB though. Bortles actually is - sort of.

buzzword is alive and well!!

Do the Cowboys even run RPO, or are they going to institute it just to make Collins eat his words??

Is op bitch Jordy Ranaan?

So getting 15 against the #1 defense in the league wasn’t encouraging at all. Smh

2017 dak-357yds bortles-322 yds

I am not saying dak will turn into Cam newton but he has burned the giants many times on 3rd down!

He said the want to shut down Zeke. He said they have a better shot at winning if Zeke isnt running and Dak is throwing. Not disrespectful to Dak at all. If they are running the ball effectively, they win time of possession and probably win the game based on that. If they are throwing, we get more opportunities for turnovers and more opportunities for our offense. Plus Dak isn’t good, but that’s not what he was saying.

I don't quite get your point, is 15 good or are you being facetious? Because LA, Tenn and Oak all dropped 30 + on this team last year. While I am hopeful on some areas, the bottom line has not changed much-weak line, cany sustain drives and they lost.

the Defense could be pretty aggressive, I want to see more turnovers, specifically the creation of fumbles.

we get it you think the giants still suck and take no positive from sunday

fumbles can be created, I vote for Bob Ross to do it.

The book is to stop Zeke and let Dak try OR what we did two years ago and let Zeke run but harass Dak to death. The way he said it wasn't the brightest and sure it's going to sound like he's calling out Dak. No one likes to be called out for anything least of all athletes in the public eye with big Xs on their backs. Is it a huge deal? Nah, but Collins runs his yapper a little too much for my liking.

...across four games:

Attempts: 37.8 per game
Completions: 21.5 per game
Completion Percentage: 57.0%
Passing Yardage: 248 per game
TD Passes: 1.25 per game
Interceptions: .5 per game
Sacks: 1 per game

Rushes: 3 per game
Yards Running: 12.5 per game
Avg Yards Rushing: 4.17

that fires up your opponent. It's a stupid thing to do.

If Dak needed Collins to say something like this in order to try his hardest Sunday, he doesn't belong in the NFL anyway.

I can't believe people think that a comment like this is suddenly going to turn Dak Prescott into Superman. Collins didn't say he sucked. He said the Giants need to focus on stopping Elliott.. which is every team's gameplan against the DAL offense.

LOL. This was good too.

Look out... they might go heavy RPO!

His quote was more about how good Zeke is and that they need to stop him to have a chance than it was a slight against Dak.

The combination of poor reading comprehension and sports media who try to turn the most innocuous sentence into something they can run back and forth with led to this entire pile of stupidity. Dak's response was so over the top ("Challenge Accepted!") that you can tell he was just going off of what the media idiots told him and didn't see the actual video of Landon talking.

do people really think nfl players grt fired up more because of words in the media?

both teams are 0-1 a divisional game, sunday night, national television, if dak needs collins to fire him up dallas is in more trouble than i though

A completely bland statement by LC somehow turned into the diss of the century. Even some idiot Giants fans are criticizing LC over nothing.

This!
I think this is what the OP is getting at. This incident may not be the worst case but Collins has a history. Just think if/when they start to win.

commits some stupid personal foul trying to hit Prescott. Win the game!

"Honestly, we really have to focus on stopping Zeke. We have to make sure everyone has got their gap assignments and we close the air out of their offensive running game. If we do that, and put the ball into Dak, then we have a better shot of winning."

Everything is spot on - true. But the last sentence is unnecessary and dumb. If you are at home, okay, I'd probably let it pass. You've got the crowd.

But you are going to Dallas and it's a huge game for both teams off bog losses. This will be "locker room material" for sure...

Zeke has faced 8 in the box more than any other back and dak couldn’t take advantage of it. Any other qb would be salivating if they had that

That a stadium that holds 90,000 is going to be louder than normal?

Or that somehow cowboys fans were going to forget this was already a rivalry game to begin with?

I do, yes.

But more importantly I think Dak will be very geared up to go, especially at home. His abilities have been called out. It's human nature.

If dak needs that to get up for a home opener in prime time against a division rival after losing week 1 then he doesn’t deserve to be in the league

You’re kidding, right?

Athletes all the time look for extra motivation. A constant or different source to keep them focused.

Brady has spoken at length how he uses being a sixth round draft choice as fuel that motivates him.

Before the 2004 Super Bowl, Belichick was showing his players news reports out of Philadelphia where the celebration parade was being discussed, Bruschi says to this day that inspired them even more...

Look, it may indeed end be nothing. But why give your opponent something else that may drive them more to succeed?

When in doubt, shut the f-ck up and stick to the script...

Dallas is a team that sucks. Collins put it now go back it up and kick their ass. Go Giants!

Guess you missed where I said Barkley is the main positive but it’s always better to be snarky.

Dak Prescott is not Tom Brady or Bill Belichick.

I don't care how hard he tries. It won't make him any more than a mediocre QB.

What about the times people talk shit and they win? Did they not talk enough to stir up the magical shit fairy dust that floats their oppenent to victory?

That’s really not the point. He just has to be really good tomorrow. And he’s proven that he has that ability. Why spur him on more by insulting him?

somehow motivate dak more, do people really think his problem is he is not motivated enough?

Bulletin board material is a made up thing by the media, maybe in high school or college it works but in the nfl players do not need extra motivation

Do you really think he was going to give less than max effort on Sunday night if Collins hadn't said this?

I mean, come on...

Use your head.
