    He does definitely seem to do just that

    Seems more like he should be playing hard for the big bucks contract. Instead, he’s getting a rep as a slacker. 

    Thing is he already got that big contract. Dont forget the dude is playing on a nearly $30 million guaranteed deal right now.

    It's a shame he doesn't have more passion for the game or whatever the heck it is. He makes elite plays sometimes but other times seems to be bothered to be out there.

    The problem is that it seem to be somewhat infectious to other players on this defense.

    He isn’t the first player to get paid then lay down and won’t be the last

    For sure, I feel like this is something that isn't mentioned enough. This is the reason guys like Bell (and many others) are so demanding of the guaranteed money in a contract. Collins can walk away after this season and have made $30 million dollars. In the NFL especially where the physical toll is unbelievable, it's not surprising that some dudes just coast after striking gold. It sucks and I'm obviously not suggesting I'm for it, but the logical person in me can see why it happens in this sport. The likelihood of a position guy outside QB getting more than any "big" deal is little to none. Why not work your butt off, get the huge money, and then coast? Again, not for that line of thinking but I'm also not getting my skull bonked around for a career. Perhaps shorter, higher money deals may help.

    I didnt see all of this game so I'm not sure what specifically you guys saw, but the effort was there previous games, and William's had nice things to say about him after the game, and William's seems like a straight shooter. With Schobert and Kirksey out, Collins was the defensive QB with the headset in his helmet.

    I expected him to make more plays, he's good, but not great... not sure he ever was great, we overpaid for him ... but I honestly dont see lack of effort.

    Well....I saw it a few times.   I saw a couple of times where he just liked reached out with his arms to try to tackle, and the ball carrier just brushed him off like a rhino brushing off a fly.

    How about Hunts long TD , looked like he tried to shake his hand instead of trying to tackle him

    I’ve been a critic of Collins for several years.

    He’s got the talent...but gives little effort at times.

    By which player? Pad level by DL was atrocious.

    Collins? Looked like a confused LB playing his 3rd snap inside due to Kirk's injury who had his eyes in the backfield.

    Same here... made an error here and there, but looked like the kind of aggressive, read/react player Williams likes.

    didnt see those errors but i trust u, u know wut ur looking at. Vallejo looked strong taking on lineman and he looks fast into the hole. Will be inteeresting to see if he gets more snaps in coming weeks.

    If there was a word worse than terrible, that would be his.. and nobody will miss him when he's cut after the season.

    Let's both agree never to resurrect a 2-year old thread again, mmkay?

    And I don't miss Kirksey much this year - he's 72nd out of the 80 in PFF who have played starter-level minutes.
