No

I don’t think Bigby is a dirty player, but rather just a big hitter. I think there is a difference between the two.

Mean or not, being mentioned with the likes of Bob Sanders, Polamalu, and Adrian Wilson is high praise.

couple things

Barbre has a chance to grab hold of the RT spot just like Giaco has… W/ Giaco out now is Barbres chance to take it and run w/ it… Getting #1 reps at RT can only help him now and in the future!

Bigby is a big hitter and due to the NFL rules being nearly impossible to play football w/ will get his share of Unsportsmanlike flags… But he is NOT a dirty player!!! Though comparing him to Sanders, Polamalu and A-Dub is a litlle rediculous!!! Not saying he can’t get there, but he isn’t yet… So ease up on the comparisons!

Collins staying home for voluntary OTA’s is ONLY hurting himself!!! Like his game, but it was ALOT more suited for the Sanders scheme where athletic ability was at a premium… Not as suited for Capers scheme where the FS makes the calls and adjustments for the ENTIRE Defense!!! Capers scheme is more suited to a cerebral player!!! Don’t know if he can make the calls for the entire D. If memory serves his Wonderlik left something to be desired… So I question his ability in the new scheme, and w/ him missing the OTA’s, he may be a lost cause this season!!! Just MY opinion!!!!

The QB of the defense

I know the free safety in Dick LeBeau’s Pittsburgh defense does make the calls on defense, so I would guess Capers uses a similar system since his coaching roots run back to LeBeau and the Steelers. That’s a good point, and I hope his absence doesn’t set the entire defense back.

Great points

Agree with the Bigby comparisons. He is no where near the level of Sanders or Polamalu, but he might be able to reach that level.

It worries me that Collins is missing camp. The FS is supposed to be the “QB” of the defense, and he has a lot of learning to do. Him missing OTA’s is definitely hurting himself. From what I have heard too, Collins isn’t the brightest bulb in the box, so for the Packer’s sake and his sake he needs to get to OTA’s!!
