Hasn't it been clarified that the Collins visit was scheduled before Love's injury?
It seems that OBJ would sign with the Rams if he signs anywhere  
SomeFan : 10/6/2022 11:18 am : link
because it is warm weather LA, they are a SB contender, OBJ knows the offense, and Rams likely want him back pretty badly as he can take the heat off of Kupp and their offense was better with OBJ.

Landon Collins is taking the practice squad spot of veteran LB A.J. Klein, per source. Klein was added by the Giants earlier this week. He is being signed by another team off the Giants PSquad.

Breeze_94 : 10/6/2022 11:26 am : link
This move makes a ton of sense on paper.

Good blitzer, downhill attacking style that fits well with what Wink does. Adds bit more more speed and aggressiveness to the second level of the defense alongside Jaylon Smith.

Plus, Giants run defense has struggled. Collins is strong coming down hill. Just don’t leave him in coverage.

I also wonder if they envision him spying a guy like Hurts when they matchup later in the season. I think he’d be okay in that role, and it would allow McKinney to roam free and make plays on the ball (something that has been lacking from a secondary that has 0 picks in 4 games so far)

I don't think this means Love is going to be out for an extended time, they had interest in Collins before the game last weekend IIRC.

Oh. OK. It's just a PS signing, and only because we lost Klein.

Probably true, but he could play ST at least.

Was Collins part of DG's culture purge? I always thought he wasn't resigned because DG didn't want to tie-up that much of the salary cap on an often injured SS. The Skins gave him a six year $84m contract, with $32m guaranteed over the first couple years.

Plus, OBJ was no victim, he brought that on himself.


Yes, not long after he didn't use the tag on Collins Gettleman was asked if the Giants had a culture problem, he answered "not anymore".

Makes much more sense than him signing directly to the 53.

It's kind of like what happened with Wyatt Davis. Any team had a chance to claim him, it didn't and like a day or two later, boom! A team decides to sign him.

And now with AJ Klein. He was a free agent all this time, he signs on our PS and a day later, a team signs him to the main roster.
One thing he did well was tackle and play on the box....

Yea, you nailed it. I don’t love the shit stirrer that is Josina Anderson having close access to this team, hopefully Daboll is able to watch this more than McAdoo did.

It does smell of desperation on both sides. The Giants are thin at the position and have limited resources; LC has had trouble finding a job and is probably taking a lot less money than he thinks he's worth. Plus he seemed pretty angry at the Giants when he left, IIRC.

Everybody swallowing their pride here.

Yep. He's only 28 but the player so many remember from 2016 hasn't been spotted very often since then. My expectations are rather low, he's coming off the couch to stopgap.

Wink Martindale says the Giants play a positionless defense. Where does Landon Collins fit?

“We’ll find some place he likes,” Martindale said.
Agreed that we shouldn't have high hopes  
Johnny5 : 10/6/2022 12:18 pm : link
Still, we need depth and nothing wrong with sifting through the through the throwaways and thrifts looking for pieces that Wink can utilize to keep our defense competitive. I hope we are doing this with WRs as well. Hell I hope we are doing that for every position on the team... lol.

Interesting...even with the rumors swirling  
Matt M. : 10/6/2022 1:53 pm : link
this still surprises me. I have mixed feelings. In the past, he's expressed no interest in switching to LB and is really undersized to play there. But, at the same time, he has to be better than most of the options we've been putting out there (one excellent game by Crowder against a bad offense aside). I mean, for the second year in a row, Smith essentially came off the street and made a bigger impact than our starters and that has more to do with the roster he walked on to, than his play.

As for S, Collins just doesn't measure up. All the Giants S are versatile. There is no true SS, FS, etc. they can each play either or both at any given time. Collins does not have the speed or cover skills to do a lot of what McKinney, Love, now Belton, do. So, it will certainly be interesting to see how they use him...and how soon.

The bottom line is, I really hope Love is back and truly healthy.
I love how this management is continually looking to upgrade….

Position by position players are finding out they are continually being evaluated and positions will be upgraded whenever possible.

This is 3 this year alone?

How can you build a cohesive practice squad when teams poach from you.

Ridiculous. I know it is a players association-favored rule, but it is ridiculous. There should be a limit or if you get 2 or more....supplemental draft picks.
