Well that’s 100% wrong. In virtually every game thread abd post game thread people have pointed that he’s not getting doubled. Did he have single assignments all games long? No. But I watched him a lot on defense (tough not to as an outside pass rusher when the camera is focused on the pocket and he just hasn’t been doubled that frequently. He’s not getting home. No one is.
During my fan days, I have never heard such admiration of our offense. so nice. luv to have another week of ego pumping
Not only that, but the play worked perfectly to draw all the defenders toward Lance as he neared the line of scrimmage, allowing his receiver (the RB) to get open for an easy lob TD behind Simmons.
Moore was getting mugged by the DB and no flag thrown
Good point
Yeah that was a bad decision.
I really disagree. Simmons is a size/speed outlier. And even so, Lance has him in weight I believe. The move was to pull up and lob it over Simmons once he committed but easy in hindsight. People saying that Lance was wrong to lower his shoulder are undervaluing the amazing play Simmons had here. Handful of players can hang back that long in coverage and then bring that much force vs a larger player in that short of distance.
in real time, that is a really tough ask of the QB. When that RB comes open, Lance has already accelerated to try to get the TD himself
for a player with a finesse label coming into the NFL, Simmons has proven to be a physical player when he needs to be
Agreed. Lance is a big dude. I thought no one was in position to make that stop. Simmons is such a freak that he made a play that only a special group of players in the history of the nfl are capable of making.
I don’t think either of those guys would’ve been that savvy in their first start. You have to learn first. Typically the hard way.
