Landon “foot-in-mouth” Collins

[Deleted]

I love him on the field. But actually Landon, Coach’s comments came off exactly how they were meant. You don’t need to “keep your opinions to yourself” you need to stop talking about teammates behind their back to the freakin media. He will continue to learn the hard way.

It’s better than Ereck “foot in his ass” Flowers
Collins will learn, to think.. He’s the leader of the team.

he has a long way to go before he can be considered a real leader. Personally I don’t see him as a leader and I don’t think he should be one at this point in his life. He should stay in his lane and continue his excellent play and ON-field leadership. Off the field and in the lockerroom he makes poor decisions. Point blank.

He needs a can of I need to keep the receivers in front of me. He should worry about his sometimes questionable play.

I think the second paragraph is much more important than the first.

It seems to me that he clearly got the message.

i get the sense these guys interview with someone, drop some huge bomb, and have the staff of the media outlet (radio station, etc) telling them how amazing they were.  or just the general positive response they get on social media for bashing an unpopular player. So popular reaction = i did a good thing.  

there is literally no benefit airing your dirty laundry in public.  none.

this is part of the problem with this locker room.  they don't have each others backs, and Collins in particular has enjoyed more public attention by highlighting that fact publicly. he's not acting like any kind of leader at all, 'real' or otherwise.

Leaders will get in your face privately, but publically give you the space to succeed.  Leaders get the most out of you.

Collins has been pointing out the obvious,  we can figure that stuff out on our own.

He thinks as a leader he has the "right" to speak on others behalf. He just learned he cant do that. Learn your lesson and move on.
Its really not a big deal.

I hope so.  He's an excellent player, and strives to be a team leader.  We were all young once, and supposedly learned from our mistakes.  I know I was not born wise (arguable if I am yet...)

Based on his comments, I think he got the message. He still has some growing up to do, and understanding that in the NY market all comments get out, taken out of context and elevated. So best to be silent or neutral with your comments.

Collins as a team leader ? What a joke. What a representative for the face one of the faces of the team this nut critiquing 2 other nuts (Flowers and Apple) this should be a comedy show.

He did have one great year his 2nd year in the league. But the 1st and 3rd years left a little to be desired. Maybe he should concentrate on just making himself better like his 2nd year, and keep his big mouth shut.

I love Landon's passion for the game...give it time he will learn...
