Meh, this is a nonstory. He doesn't know what his assignments are because they haven't practiced what their assignments are.

It's like giving a guy a french exam without giving him time to study the language. Let's see how he does given a chance to practice and be coached.

Stop making me stick up for Nick Collins, Alex!

No one is saying he's supposed to know his assignments. The video (not to mention the interview he gave Bedard at the Prow Bowl) indicate someone who is not eager. At all. I want a guy who's hungry to learn, who asks the video crew to send him cut ups for him to watch in the hospital on his laptop while he's waiting for his child to be born. I want the Pyeton Manning of the safety position.

What I don't want is a dumb ass that gets by on his athletic ability and whines about his contract.
