Message: <blockquote data-quote="PackersRS" data-source="post: 390063" data-attributes="member: 1429">Very underrated part of Collins' game.People complained he didn't make too many plays behind or near the LOS, but that was a load of bull. Collins' primary role in Capers' offense has always been playing cover 1 as the last line of defense, he wasn't allowed to make a lot of plays quite frankly, and we just took it for granted that, as long as it wasn't Jarrett Bush covering, no long pass would be completed against this secondary.It's a technique issue that LeRoy Butler explained brilliantly in his x's and o's video at JSOnline. Burnett has all the range to be a great deep safety, and exactly because he has that athleticism and playmaking ability, much like Sharper in his time, Burnett is taking too many risks.I hope that, unlike Sharper, he actually learns the position instead of just complaining and gambling on every other play like Sharper did. Sharper was able to find coordinators who were glad to shift their entire defense just for him, or that had a scheme that coincidentally fitted him.Burnett won't have that option in Green Bay. Not until, or if, Collins returns.</blockquote>
