Nick Collins: 2011 Green Bay Packers Evaluation and Report Card
Nick Collins
1) Introduction: Over the last two and half decades, the number 36 has been kind to the safety position in Green Bay. LeRoy Butler was an All-Pro wearing the number during the Packers’ run in the 1990′s, and Nick Collins has now established himself as one of the NFL’s top game-breakers at the position with the same two digits. In six seasons leading...

Green Bay Packers: Most Pressing Offseason Needs
No. 5: Address Coverage Issues at Safety
Many people will probably look back on the Packers’ season and assume that there is glaring need in the secondary. The situation isn’t quite that dire, as the team led the NFL in interceptions with 31. Sure the team also allowed the most passing yards per game (299.8), but that was really the fault of an anemic pass rush and...

Howard Green: 2011 Green Bay Packers Evaluation and Report Card
Howard Green
1) Introduction: One of the many memorable plays from Super Bowl XLV was Howard Green’s bull rush that forced a Ben Roethlisberger interception and resulted in a pick-six for Nick Collins. Green filled the space-eater role for the Packers in 2010, but never returned to form in 2011. Don’t expect him to return in 2012.

Packers Considering CB Charles Woodson At Safety If Nick Collins Can't Play
The Green Bay Packers might be interested in shifting veteran cornerback Charles Woodson to safety next season, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday. Safety Nick Collins missed nearly all of this past regular season after suffering a neck injury in Week 2 and was replaced the rest of the way by Charlie Peprah.

Packers Cb Charles Woodson May Be Asked To Play Safety In 2012
If Nick Collins is unable to return from a neck injury, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers might consider asking cornerback Charles Woodson to play safety. But that is not a given because Capers thinks moving Woodson out of a corner position would allow the opposition to take advantage of matchups against Sam Shields, the cornerback who would replace Woodson outside...

2011 Packers Defense: Where Does The Buck Stop?
I have been watching a lot of football these past two weekends, and I think the only NFL game I didn’t watch at least part of was Denver vs. New England. (Really, was there a point to seeing that one?) And while I’ve cached away a lot of observations, there are a couple big things that have stuck with me. The most impressionable of these, I believe, was the way the San Francisco...

At his weekly Monday press conference, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy made it clear what the main factor in his defense’s inability to stop Philip Rivers and the Chargers was on Sunday.
It’s very simple: A lack of communication.

Post Game Thoughts: Tramon Williams Misses Nick Collins
This is just an observation from today’s 45-38 win, but the Packers are desperately missing Nick Collins. I am mostly a baseball fan, and really into sabermetrics. With sabermetrics, you get really in depth on a player’s whole worth to a team. With football, it’s really hard to know exactly what one player means. Football is the ultimate team sport.
