Mills is listed the same height as Claiborne. So it's not about having a big body, but more so great coverage skills and speed.

As for Collins, I could see him being moved to safety to make room for all of the younger guys with more skill, better hips, and more speed. I know he made strides as the season went on, but that would make him even more valuable as a tall safety who can cover.




True. And Mills might be listed as the same size as Mo, but I dont know how much I believe that. He def doesnt look to be as tall as Mo. Plus, Mo had those freakishly long arms.

And as far as Collins being moved to S, he is more of a CB that Simon ever was. I paid very close attention to Collins this past year and he has good hips, not great but better than Simon out of the backpedal and good enough hips to go along with GREAT range to play CB. I wouldnt move him just because we would be starting another freshman CB from day 1. Not saying that White or another freshman wouldnt be capable of playing immediately, but Id feel much safer with Collins at CB. Plus, I dont think he would be playing S over Martin or Loston. Hes a CB, and I expect him to breakout and become a damn good CB this season too.

I agree about the Simon comparison. He would have been an even better candidate had he returned.

I'm just worried about our safeties right now. None of the guys we have now, hell and even times last year with Reid, that they can play the pass and cover. All of our safeties struggled with that last year.

Collins could at least help at S in unique situations. I would have more faith with him playing S if the game was on the line than anyone else we have right now. However, I do agree that it's highly unlikely this ever happens.
