Looks like we had a liar the other night. Someone said Collins was off balance and falling already. Not the case...straight up got trucked on that play. I was anticipating Collins being a fiercer hitter instead of a "break down and hang on" type of tackler.

He wasn't falling backwards, but Landon looked like he was expecting the RB to make a cut or try to avoid him and instead he just plowed over him. Smart move by the RB. I had Cecil Collins do the exact same thing to me once.

Anyway, when you break down and get into position, you gotta launch forward to the numbers. Doesn't mean Collins can't tackle. I'm sure he has laid the wood many times thru his career. He just didn't make the best decision, which is almost always to keep your eye on the numbers and attack when it comes to that type of situation.

I'l bet that hurt, too ( both physically and emotionally )

It almost always hurts less to give the hard hit than to receive it.

I did not watch the video. I am taking your word for it JJ27 that I was completely wrong and did not see it correctly. Thomas straight up ran Collins over and Collins hit him at full force. Period. It was more a credit to Thomas than a knock on Collins in my opinion. I came away from that game very impressed with Khalil Thomas. He is a hell of a football player and should get a shot at division I. Les Miles and Saban want Collins. I want Collins to be a Tiger. Les Miles is a great evaluator of talent. If mintberrycrunch or JJ27 want to disagree with Miles over his recruitment of Landon Collins feel free to do so.
