Many don't value the NFL over college football.

I watch NFL every Sunday, Monday, and some Thursdays. I do not have a favorite team. I just like football.

Most of us really don't give a shite about the NFL other than loving the game itself.. But when I have an opportunity to make light of the "Bama Bust" bullshite, I'm gonna take it.

The problem with Bama dB's in the league has always been their coverage abilities. They all go into the league being excellent tacklers


This. They are having good seasons but all that comes to mind is Collins drop against the pats that would have ended the game.

Rashad Johnson leads the Arizona Cardinals in interceptions with 5 on the year, to go along with 58 tackles - good for 4th on the team.


His teammate, Mathieu, currently leads the Cardinals with 76 solo tackles on the season, while also compiling four interceptions, a forced fumble, a sack and one defensive touchdown.

Man I'm not saying that these guys arent good productive NFL players right now but when your safety has 100 tackles, ur D is poo. Touting a high tackle count for safety's is not necessarily indicative of good play. There's more to it than that. The fact that these 4 guys are starters alone is worth mentioning. Barron had to move down because he can't cover. Good on him tho. Always looked like a linebacker to me. Rashad has been solid for a while now and he plays for a great team with some great defensive players....not to mention 2 of the greatest tigers ever and currently among the best in the league. Johnson has lots of help. A lot of guys would look good back there. Collins...lol. Ha ha...meh

Collins has always been good against the run. I was surprised how many tackles he missed against the Dolphins. He is a liability in the passing game though. Maybe that is why the Giants are dead last in pass defense.



Our rookie Safety is not the reason we are dead last against the pass.

Just because you have a lot of tackles doesn't mean you're doing well.


Collins has done fine this year. He has struggled in coverage at times, but he has also made some good plays in coverage. He has been good against the run.

Landon Collins made some piss poor tackles the other day that resulted in big plays. Even the announcers were dogging him.

One game doesn't break one's season. He has been a really good tackler the whole year.

What does any of that have to do with Alabama making him look silly in New Orleans?
