Landon Collins gets trucked

Maybe he is going to Bama..

Evidently #3 is a pretty talented kid; I was told he is pretty much all CHS has on offense.

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 didn't say he was overrated or anything. Everyone gets run over at some point. Cue up Brandon Jacobs destroying Laron Landry.

It's a simple matter of physics. Two objects collided, and energy was transferred. The running back had more kinetic energy due to his greater velocity at impact, and the running back hit Collins with enough force to cause Collins' center of gravity to move to where it became unstable and Collins was knocked down. It happens all the time in football games that smaller players will knock over larger players when they get better leverage, or are moving at greater speed.

He is a junior.

Collins hit him at full force.

That's just it, he didn't. He broke down for some reason instead of just blowing him up.

JJ27 want to disagree with Miles over his recruitment of Landon Collins feel free to do so.

I said above he's far from overrated and everyone gets run over at some time like Jacobs running over Landry.

Landon Collins gets owned by a 175 lb. back

bet he loses a star on that one.

Is #3 on Catholic getting any offers--or is he a senior?

Junior.

And I've heard Southern Miss, Miss St., and Tulane tossed around. I'm sure he'll get a lot more attention after this year, though. Hopefully his size doesn't discourage any offers. He's solid.
