Collins is on the practice squad not on a $70 mil contract. If Wink finds a specific role fine if he becomes a problem or doesn't execute than they can cut him. They were looking at him before Love was injured and he takes Klien's spot. If he plays well great because he costs next to nothing and if he stinks he's gone.
Get used to bargain bin shopping for the rest of the year as that's all this team can afford
I always thought Collins was way overrated here. He had that huge game in London. But, he doesn’t get home enough on the blitz, he’s just not good in coverage, he’s too small to play in the box and he’s not really a playmaker. Also seemed like he might have been a bit of locker room problem too but maybe I’m misremember or just plain wrong about that point. Tough for me to see how he makes the defense any better but - we'll hope for the best.
Wink wants to be able to play 3 safeties often. But the rookie has played well, so I only see LC being activated if one of the 3 ahead of him are injured. LC would play ahead of Pinnock, who is really a STer.

Yeah, I am not quite seeing this signing clearly. But, I think you are correct. They need a safety down in the box that can blitz and play the run. I think Love did this a lot, bit Collins is built more for that kind of defender. Collins is 20 lbs heavier than Love and hits like a truck. He may be just quick enough to cover TEs - more so than the ILBs.
Another piece for Wink to move around and attack.
RE: RE: RE: It would be funny to see multiple people that were victims of the
great DG culture purge (Collins and OBJ) brought back
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".

Come to think of it, Collins did have a bad habit of airing the team's dirty laundry to the press.
Collins said that he and Snacks and OBJ talked up too much
Long past time Julian gets extended IMO.

He has not been good since he left us.
Were you expecting Micah Parsons or Aaron Donald to be picked up off the scrap heap and signed to the practice squad?
So by the law of syllogism, he should be a pro bowler now that he’s back on the team

OBJ was no locker room cancer. He was a leader who just wanted to win.
John Mara texted him that he hated to see him leave, thanked him for what he did for the franchise and "the door is always open," whatever that means.
Last year in 13 games he had three sacks, two picks, seven tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. That's pretty productive.
In 2019 he only played 5 games. Two sacks, one pick five tackles for a loss and a forced fumble.
He can tackle and makes a few plays.
