Popular Post kyle021 Posted October 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) “he’s a go, he’s coming, he is playing soon” - Jim Wyatt i am excited as all can be. This guy... he is a damn monster. He is a destroyer. He will collapse the pocket. He will free up Casey... I truly think he is going to be our best interior DL since AH including Casey. Not from day obviously, but in due time. if Tannehill can hold down the QB spot like a vet can( and be an upgrade to Mariota and open the passing game and as a result the run game... This is a shot in the arm. Exactly what the team needed. I think Simmons season predictions will be round 20-30 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 2 FF and 1 FR Edited October 17, 2019 by Kyle021 rns90, gnawed, Kirkster, and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big2033 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Mariota will take too many sacks!!! Wait ... what is this about? TNTitans, Justafan, and IsntLifeFunny 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Our defense has been pretty damn good so far and I'm also optimistic Simmons will make them noticeably even better. However, would anyone be surprised if they don't put him on the field with the #1's and instead use him as a rotational player to keep everyone fresh? titanruss, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanruss Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 If they are smart, he’ll be on a heavily regulated snap count that will go up as the season progresses. I bet he gets maybe 2 sacks this year. I don’t think he’ll have too much of an impact this season unless we play some real weak OLs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm guardedly optimistic. I imagine he'll probably play well when he sees the field, but with very limited reps. I don't expect significant impact until next year; whatever contribution he makes this year is a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnawed Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 As good as this defense is, Simmons could make them noticeably better (if he was healthy and in game shape). His bull rush that will collapse the pocket and prevent the QB from stepping up in the pocket and into his throw will make this secondary look even better. My other favorite thing about his game besides his bull rush is his awareness. He doesn’t seem to cheat very often. He plays run and keeps his eyes in the backfield. The moment he sees pass he can transition into a pass rush effortlessly. I am so excited about Simmons, but I am afraid we will have to wait till next year. This year I will settle for flashes.

I don’t think so, he’s been ready for some time now and was running sprints in training camp. Justafan, and VanCityTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm sure they'll get him reps during the game like they would anyone else working back, but I don't expect him to have complicated assignments. Initially, maybe just 3rd downs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
