Excerpt: "Landon Collins didn’t go as far as calling anybody a cancer in his latest ESPN interview, but the Giants safety did throw his offensive line under the bus and offered a curious decision as to whom he’d take with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft.
Asked about Eli Manning’s play this year on “First Take” on Wednesday morning, Collins said it wasn’t up to his standard but quickly had a reason for that.
“He’s not playing up to the level I used to watch him play when I used to watch him on TV and stuff like that,” Collins said. “I will say, he needs the line. When Eli has time, everybody sees it, when he has time in the pocket he can make a defense pay big time. That’s what he needs in front of him.”
The Giants offensive line already has been under fire of late with Bobby Hart getting cut before the season finale and Ereck Flowers being inactive in Week 17 because of concerns about their attitudes.
But while Collins called for reinforcements on the line, he opted to go elsewhere when asked whom he’d pick at No. 2 in April’s draft.
“I would say probably get some help at wide receiver,” Collins said. “Get Odell [Beckham], Brandon Marshall and Sterling [Shepard] some [help], get Eli some different options. I want a lot of people catching it.”
Collins reiterated his opinion that the Giants don’t need to draft a quarterback after previously telling The Post that Davis Webb could be their future signal caller.
“I don’t think we need another quarterback,” Collins said. “We have Eli, we have Davis Webb, we have Geno [Smith]. That’s three dynamic quarterbacks. We haven’t seen Davis Webb play yet, but he can definitely get the job done. But Eli, I would say, is our quarterback. He just needs more protection.”
Collins started off his appearance on the show rehashing his saga with Eli Apple, stating he didn’t mean to call the cornerback a cancer publicly but, “If you cross me, I’m gonna shoot back.”" Read more...
