Same thing is happening with Collins. Left and came back better IMO.
He's been amazing so far...looks completely different in my eyes.
He's been awesome. I would say his first stint was much more successful than Chung's. But BB states Chung was just misused.
A little late to this party, BTM ,"The Chung Effect". (patent pending/copywrite pending) IS a real thing. It goes back to something we all sometimes forget. That players can improve over the years and what you see of a player isn't necessarily all that there is. They evolve. Some for the good, others, not so much.Just like when Chung left and came back...he got better.

Someone will break the bank for a 30+ year old Collins? I doubt it.Roughly he made $3 million with his rookie deal here and about $30 million the last 2 years in Cleveland. If he is looking purely for the money, and he continues to play way he has, he's gone. Somebody will break the bank for him. If, however the Patriots makes him an offer he isn't insulted by/BB thinks is reasonable/cap friendly yatta yatta yatta... maybe he looks at the money he's banked and starts thinking about his legacy and how more fun ( Thanks Lane ) it is to be playing towards a February game than packing your bags and packing it in in late October...and he sticks around.
better to be lucky...Honestly he seems like pretty much the same guy to me. He's still guessing out there, just seems to be guessing correctly more often than not. Hopefully it keeps up.
BB had even stated he utilized him wrong playing him at FS. Playing him at SS was when it turned around.He's been awesome. I would say his first stint was much more successful than Chung's. But BB states Chung was just misused.
He was an undersized DE but was a perfect fit in the Tampa 2 scheme.It goes both ways. I remember Greg Spires having a so so rookie contract here, but really turned up his game when he got into the Tampa system. Not on the scale of Collins, but just a small example.
Having a coach and a system that recognizes and utilizes strengths can’t be understated.
