Zero2Cool;209550The Baltimore Ravens called Ted Thompson to congratulate him on the Nick Collins pick saying they got a really good player whom they were gonna take with their next pick.
I hope this Safety can tackle, hit, intercept and COVER very well.
Baltimore grabbed a safety a couple picks before us this time around.
We'll see how it works out this time.
I like McMillan's times and scouting report, but we won't know anything until May or June.

Safeties coach, Darren PerryHe’s an excellent tackler, and you guys know what our tackling looked like last year. So that’s going to be a point of emphasis. He’s a guy that when you watch him consistently, he’s able to get guys down in space, consistently brings his arm, and I’ll try not to screw him up and hopefully he can continue what he did at Maine and bring it to our football team.
I do like that the coaches aren't shying away from how poor tackling was last season.

blueleopard;209546A safety who is extremely fast and tackles well.
That sounds like Nick Collins.
Remember, when we drafted Collins, he was a 2nd round pick considered to be a reach.
Yep, I was one of the loudmouths saying it.
I was in chat somewhere, and went ballistic.
(For those of you watching last week, this year was mild compared to that time.)

you have mellowed as you have aged and acquired wisdom.
Either that or you are getting more tired these days.

I actually liked the undrafted safety we pick up from Vanerbuilt a little better. He was Haywards teammate. But I like this guy a lot and what I could find of video on him looked like he was a sure tackler. Good solid technique.
