Simmons vs Bucannon

Buca

Bucannon played at Washington I think you meant to say?

He played at Wazu

Stay with me on this one...but remember when Seth Joyner was in AZ and played all over the defense, because of need/injuries? I think Simmons is next generation Joyner...Bigger, faster, stronger...and I hope Simmons can bring a similar attitude (not sure if it's in him) that Joyner had.

I was thinking about Joyner yesterday in this regard. I recall being shocked that we actually played him at safety for a game.

I think that'll be the case for most of the season, but hopefully Simmons can start pushing Campbell off the field pretty quickly.

I think Alford beats out Murphy easily.

I also have real doubts about Baker the further he's playing from the line of scrimmage.

I agree with all of this

No Washington state.

Buc was good too, not trying to discount his play. Isiah is just different and exciting

I think the comparision should be a little closer to Adrian Wilson a very big safety for the time he played in in that regard Simmoms could be a Hall of Fame player btw wasnt Wilson in that 230 lb range man could he play the position though

he had 15ints in college they ask him to gain weight and play LB right off the bat after losing both LB’s in the off season

Don't get me wrong he was one of my favorite players on those Cards team. I still own his jersey. But his coverage skills were a big question mark. College isn't close to the pros.

I really didn't get to watch much college ball this year (first time in my adult life). I was busy coaching my son's 13U travel team.

So my question is: How is Simmons any different than Bucannon was? i.e Jack-of-all-trades master of none?

Simple answer: Talent level I read a quote somewhere today, might have been one of Simmons college coaches, "you heard the phrase, Jack-of-all-trades master of none; well Simmons is a MASTER-of-all-trades player."

IMO, right now it's still an IF, but IF Simmons is coached well and develops well he can be a generational player! He has that type of athleticism!
