Giants' Collins is full speed ahead for next preseason game

Look out, Cleveland. Landon Collins is coming to town.

And just because it's the second preseason game, don't expect the All-Pro safety to be on cruise control Monday night against the Browns. For Collins, there is no such thing.

"When I'm the field, it's going to be full speed," Collins said on Saturday. "I don't know any other speed. If I don't go to the speed that I'm determined to, I just feel like I'm sluggish. So, there's only one speed for me."

Collins demonstrated that last week against the Steelers. He played just 10 defensive snaps but had a team-high five tackles including one for a loss. He was flying around the field like it was a playoff game.

Collins said teammates were giving him a hard time for playing so hard in a preseason game _ "They were like, 'Bro, what are you doing out there trying to hit people like that?' " _ but part of the reason he does it is to protect himself.

"If they put their shoulders on me, I feel like I'm going to get hurt and I can't let them just bully me," he said of opposing players. "But at the same time I've just got to go full speed. It's just my nature. I can't see anything else other than doing that."
