"But, that doesn't mean I'm going to absolve Collins, either. I think he's going right down the Javon Walker road unless someone gets in his ear pretty quick."

Absolve him of what?

To be treated equal to the other palyers mentioned and some I didnt but have in other discussions?:

Put you like others totally dismiss them at best if not totally denigrate them at worst.

Insanity.

He deserves to at least to have talks on a new contract. TT simply refuses.

Its beyond understanding.

If you think the pick-up of Smith form Pittsburgh is any kind of answer I have a coupla bridges for sale you will be interested in.

And in the first place why would you want to replace a four year starting All-Pro with never-has-been anything?

Nonnsenscal.

Comparing him to Walker is also nonsensical.

Actually its the Cory Williams scenario kicked up a coupla notches.

I expect the packers to haceve a 12-4 season but not if TT coontinues to throw monkey wrenches into the process.

If you think the other players in the locker room dont see the constantly changing, inconsistent, double standards TT uses for grantng contract extensions/Big Contracts your going to soon be sadly mistaken.

And the Packers will not have success on the field Capers or no Capers.

I find this contract talk intrangience is beyond belief and the fact that so many fans agree with TTs reprehensible, immoral and unethical methods deeply disturbing.

Anon, everything sounds good in theory. Heck, we could be switching to a new 4-3 and the DC could be talking about the new cool blitz packages he's putting in, and we'd be fawning over them. I'm not buying the ideas that spreading the responsibility is great idea until I actually see it work. Kind of like the ZBS, which is going on, what, four years now?

stick, my friend, I have been highly critical of TT's lack of drafting or signing a true free safety for years, and am also critical of MM's adopting "schemes of the moment", like the ZBS and now the 3-4, without having the talent in place first.

But, that doesn't mean I'm going to absolve Collins, either. I think he's going right down the Javon Walker road unless someone gets in his ear pretty quick.

I dont understand the continued, unrelenting Collins hate.

Looks to me be to be just another made up out-of-thin air justification to continue with TT's failed philosopy if in fact he even has one except to remain in power at all costs even winning seasons.

And as another self-fullfilling excuse for the Packers to have another poor season ie this year just blame it on Collins.

When does the pressure to "have something to prove" fall on TT, MM and Capers?

Ive seen not one iota of similar critical analysis of those three just fluff.

Read Collins achievements at Packer.com every bit as good as Barnett, Jenkins, Poppinga, Grant Jennings and Rodgers among others who have received extenions/Big contracts yet his treatment by Packer management and its fawing fans is 180 degrees different.

Something stinks big time here.

Lots of moving parts here during the transition from a 43 with the MLB making the calls, to a 34 with a safety making the calls.

Capers himself suggests the change is to keep everybody involved.

Perhaps he has learned in his travels that depending on one player is a risky move from both the contract and the injury point of view.

Spreading the "defensive QB" role out may or may not have anything to do with Collins current status.

But with the League allowing a limited number of miked defensive helmets, somebody has to be in charge.

Thanks for another fine effort LA
