The Giants admired and came to depend on many attributes Landon Collins brought to the field. Collins is doing many of those same things in his first season with one of the Giants’ NFC East rivals.
The Redskins in three games took 206 snaps on defense, and Collins has been there for every one of them. His 22 solo tackles leads the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. Opposing quarterbacks have targeted him 12 times and Collins has allowed 11 receptions, tied for the third-most in the league.
The matchup on tap Sunday is one the Giants grew to understand was not well-suited to Collins’ skill-set.
