Jamie Collins "The X Factor".

Interesting article, by Pete Prisco, on Jamie Collins and his possible effect on the Super Bowl Game.

I asked Colts quarterback Andrew Luck about Collins. He faced the Patriots twice this year. Luck, not known for his hyperbole, glowed as he mentioned Collins.
"I think he's the most underrated player in the NFL," Luck said. "He can do so many things in that defense."

Luck added, " It doesn't matter if the balls are inflated or deflated, he will make plays".

Looking forward to see what Jamie can do on that fast-track natural turf.

I expect Collins to be,the spy on Russell Wilson. If he can contain Wilson it will make everyone else's job easier.

That was my prediction only I have being the spy on Wilson or Lynch either of them.. My reason was our secondary should be able to handle the Seahawks without much help if they play in a big nickel... the big being the package to also help tackle Lynch. Huge game for Chung also.

Agree, Chung is also going to have to have his best game of the year in coverage. If they shut down the outside WRs he will need to take out Wilson

I've been saying all week that Collins and Hightower will be the difference between the Seahawks scoring 0 points and the Seahawks scoring 28 points. That offense starts with Lynch and then runs through Wilson running, Wilson throwing to TEs, and Wilson rolling out passes to Baldwin/Kearse. Collins has the ability to be an impact in every single one of those types of plays.

I agree. I think Collins will be a massive part of the defense if we have a successful game. I anticipate seeing him run that blitz right up the guy a few times too (or maybe Ayers here and there).

On offense, I think Amendola may be a big X factor, much like in the Ravens game.

I think Collins will be the KEY to use winning at least on the D side of the ball.

Him and hightower need to be ready to run and make sure they do their jobs. These are the two x factors for me. They can't get caught up in the wash trying to chip leaving the flat wide open and they have to play disciplined in the run game as well. Seattle will stretch you out horizontally possibly better than Kansas City can and we know what Marshawn Lynch can do.

I want to see Collins and Hightower just blowing people up all game

SET THE EDGE .. NO EDGE, NO CHANCE

With the lack of receiving weapons by the Seahawks, I think this will give Collins a real chance to shine rushing Wilson (let the outside rushers contain Wilson and let Collins do clean up, up the middle) and blowing passes in the flat with Lynch.

Actually I think Collins will be used as the spy on Wilson. He has the speed and athletic enough to take that role.
