Simmons showed us a glimpse of what he can do.

Glad he finally is getting some playing time even if Hicks has to line him up.

Makes it more strange why hasn't played more.

This was an unbelievable snap. Showed ability and effort. The know-nothings on this board will continue to b*%#%until it’s shoved in their face but this kid will be a stud.

The strength Simmons has to pull Allen down one handed is unreal. Allen is the hardest guy in the league to sack because he's so strong. Simmons is a freak

 

[Krangodnzr]

That is significantly better. I don't understand why Vance is still enamored with playing Hicks in 3rd and long situations.

Hicks is a disaster in zone coverage. Not only does he usually give up the reception, but he often gives up 7 more yards too.

I said it earlier, but I'd probably cut Hicks. I definitely think Campbell should go too, he's been pretty bad over the past 4 games or so.

Simmons played pretty well. I'm glad hes getting reps, as its the only way he will improve. I really do think we will see a big jump from him next year. Having no offseason looks like it hurt him, and when you add that to normal rookie learning curve, its understandable.

Bottom line...he is improving. He is starting to make plays. Leave him in a position, looks like ILB is it, and let him get better. Don't Hassan Reddick this kid.

Just for the record, Simmons is a 4.3 guy. round down not up

Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons Records 4.39-Second 40-Yard Dash at NFL Combine.

He should never come off the field. And what is funny is that Vance hasn't even used him on the delay blitz yet.

His rush and drop was amazing. Completely engaged the OL, then had the strength and quickness to disengage and drop into zone. Pretty special move when you think about how it messes with the QB.

That edge rush showed his burst.

Put the right vets around this kid and he will be a world-breaker. Baker, Hicks, and Golden...those guys will inspire him to work and prepare at levels he didn't know he could.

Pretty sure that pic is the play where he was held twice, by 2 different guys, on the same play without a call.

He's still lost at times but he's so athletic. It's apparent the game is slowing down for him now and it's fun to watch.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

He looks like he has been hitting the weight room big time. Maybe he needed to balance that with a little more time watching film. Work in progress but you can’t have a liability on the field when you are in playoff contention. He only got on the field because of a massive number of injuries. He needs seasoning but not to the detriment of the team.

man, you’re angrier than usual here.

How come?

 

[HomerPimpson]

The guy is obviously a freak, but I don't even know why y'all stressing. Defense takes longer to learn even *with* preseason. He's played well his last 4 games. Meaning he was being worked in before that. The NFL season is longer than college and I'd rather have him raging now than peaking a month ago.

(Fantastic job by Kingsbury, Vance, or whomever made that decision)

Hmm, then you missed the first ten years when they actually moved to Phoenix.

first 11 games were ok, maybe a few more sprinkled over the next nine years but yes not much viewing

I hadn’t realized he came back and made the play. That’s fantastic.

 

[BigRedRage]

How come?

Could very well just be the same reason you are more jolly this month.

 

[iLLmatiC]

Let's go baby! One of the bright spots on an otherwise frustrating night.

 

[FB94]

Happy for Simmons, played great tonight and looking better each week. Defense needs to get healthy up front in a hurry.

Anyone notice that after every big play, Simmons doesn't showboat etc. but just has a huge grin on his face? Love the way he approaches the game. Oh, and he is an absolute animal out there, throwing guys out of the way like they are little mannequins. He is only going to get better from here on out.

 

[juza76]

Simmons is a freak
But the guy that should be replaced is Hicks
To be honest as I stated weeks a go the best duo is Simmons Vallejo, much more speed
still giving so many easy yards cause of slow asses

 

[dscher]

When this guy gets his confidence out there with consistency he's going to be a monster... A couple of those tackles he made with aggressiveness that we haven't seen since dwash. Great to watch.

Yes the combo speed power does that effect
If u watch Hicks even when he tackled, the opponents gets extra yards

He was all over the place, and he looked like he was having fun.
