Giants' Landon Collins not looking forward to meeting Packers' Eddie Lacy in open field

New York Giants strong safety Landon Collins likely will have to try to tackle Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy in Sunday night's NFL game.

Nothing unusual about that. Strong safeties and running backs run into each other with regularity in the NFL.

But for Collins, these collisions will be more personal than they usually are. He and Lacy both played at Dutchtown High School in Louisiana before going on to Alabama and then the NFL.

"I have to actually really tackle him," Collins told the Giants' official web site.
