Landon Collins wants to captain Giants’ defense New York Giants safety Landon Collins is ready to take on a leadership role. When asked
on Wednesday if being named captain is something he will be seeking
out
Dalvin Tomlinson Jerseys Stitched , he responded with, “that’s an easy question, yes,” adding, “I definitely want to be a captain of this defense one
of these years.”Giants head coach Pat Shurmur will be naming team captains for
the season following the team’s final preseason game. And it’s a good year for
Collins to finally be named defensive captain; the 2015 second-round draft pick
has been named to the Pro Bowl for the past two season and has started in all 47
games he’s played. It’s also the final year of his rookie contract, with no
guarantee that he’ll remain with the Giants in 2019. “One of these years,” may
instead be “one of these days.”Collins shared his thoughts on leadership in an
NFL locker room: “It comes through regardless of the fact, winning or losing. If
you’re winning, people get comfortable and you’ve got to continue pressing
that... From that point of view
Youth Sterling Shepard Jerseys , it goes hand in hand. If you’re losing, you definitely need [leadership] and when you’re winning, you especially need it
because you need to keep everybody focused.”On Week 3 of the preseason and the
New York JetsCollins expects the Giants’ starting defense “to play about three
quarters” against the New York Jets on Friday night. And he’s hoping it will
give a chance for his side of the ball—which is still adapting to new defensive
coordinator James Bettcher’s system—to work out any remaining kinks. Collins is
“excited about almost getting a whole game in and making sure we stay on the
same page as a defense and making sure we don’t have any mental errors out
there... just because it’s a new defense. We want to make sure we get everything
correct, be sound, be prepared and always playing fast.”He’s also “excited”
about going up against rookie Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, who he believes will
“do a great job at the Jets,” but nonetheless noted that on Friday Darnold will
be “playing against a good defense and we’re going to have fun with it.”On
pre-snap movementCollins is enjoying that Bettcher is allowing him to move
around before the snap this year, particularly that, “guys key on me. Offensive
guys
Sterling Shepard Jerseys Stitched , especially coordinators and quarterbacks, I see them eyeing me all the time, saying ‘21’ or stuff like
that.” The goal is “to move in and out of the box, trying not to give them a
clean read on where we’re coming from and stuff like that, or give them an idea
of what kind of defense we are in.”This isn’t a decree from Bettcher, however;
it’s more that Collins does it, succeeds at it and Bettcher sees no need to tell
him otherwise. “They kind of give me the freedom to [move around],” said
Collins. “They don’t ask me to do it. They know I know I can get to my position
wherever I’m at on the field and do a good job at it.”NFL Week 4 expert picks,
