Positive 2

Kendall Fuller continues his march toward a double-digit interception season and a possible spot in the Pro Bowl.  Will he garner enough attention to be named an All–Pro?  At this pace, it is somewhat probable.

Fuller hauled in a key interception in the second half on Sunday and the Giants were all but certain to get a field goal or a touchdown on that drive.  Replays showed that his elbow first hit the ground in the end zone and while the call was questionable, the review upheld the ruling on the field.

Fuller also had a pass deflection on Sunday, but his interception gave the WFT a chance to win the game.  The offseason re-acquisition of this former Hokie was one of the best moves of free agency for the WFT.  He is a definite positive so far this season.

Negative 2

Ok, let’s get this over with for another week.  Landon Collins.  Ugh!  More poor angles.  Poor coverage.  Tight ends that abuse him.  Oh, and Daniel Jones rushed seven times for 74 yards on Sunday, including a 49-yard dash that led to a field goal in the second quarter.

Where was Collins?  The strong safety (and linebackers) are tasked with running backs and quarterbacks that rush into the secondary;  74 yards – let that sink in for a moment.

It has been suggested that Collins should move to linebacker, but would it work?  He can’t cover tight ends and running backs coming out of the backfield.  Poor angles are poor angles.  It could be worth a try, but who would play at strong safety?  Maybe Kamren Curl is ready, but the chances of these things happening are slim.  Get ready for more of Landon Collins in the negative aisle this season.
