Isaiah Simmons tonight

Archer : 1/13/2020 5:59 pm
Isaiah Simmons is one of my favorite players available for the draft
I am excited to see him play tonight

I think that he can be a transformative player
He can play multiple positions and play them well

Simmons is unique in that he is great in coverage, he is strong against the run, and he can rush the passer
He is so long and fast that he can cover backs, receivers, and tight ends

His position flexibility seems perfect for what the new coaching staff values
I can see him play the joker in a 46 or safety or olb
in a 34

What makes Simmons so unique is that he is 6’-4” 235 bs but runs a 4:4 forty and he also has an incredible wingspan

I am rooting for LSU but would love to see Simmons excel

Well then Okudah is available.


And Okudah is an elite prospect, a Jalen Ramsey level prospect.
Draft Simmons  
Nine-Tails : 1/13/2020 8:48 pm : link
Sign Yannick, assume dline stays intact and Connelly returns. We should have an up and coming defense
Simmons....  
Doug in MA : 1/13/2020 8:49 pm : link
...he's the defensive version of Booby Miles.
It's going to be close

A breakdown of where Simmons lined up  
Big Rick in FL : 1/13/2020 8:51 pm : link
Of his 738 snaps on the season, here’s where Simmons has lined up:

Position Snaps

In the box 239
Slot CB 256
Wide CB 7
Deep safety 130
Simmons is literally everywhere on the field  
Giantfan21 : 1/13/2020 8:52 pm : link
I will do cartwheels if the giants draft him

matchup and defense disguise nightmare. thanks for posting the state, hadn't seen them
Patrick Graham  
Nine-Tails : 1/13/2020 8:55 pm : link
Wanted to use Minkah in a variety of roles, while Minkah wanted to play one position, ultimately leading to his trade. I think Simmons will be the ultimate chess piece Graham wants.

With his impact on defense and specials, he will be the apple of Judge's eyes
So far, I think he looks

to be the guy I would want at #4.

Toss in Conklin and that would be a fantastic offseason.
I think he’s a safety at the next level  
bubba0825 : 1/13/2020 9:02 pm : link
Might be a little too lean to play linebacker

He could add 5 to 10 pounds without losing too much speed. Put him in a NFL workout program and see what happens. He does have a long frame

He's got good size and is only 21 yrs old. No reason he can't put on some weight if needed and still keep his speed.
He is not a finished product  
UConn4523 : 1/13/2020 9:11 pm : link
both in play and size. He can absolutely be a LBer in the NFL and he’s so damn versatile. Haven’t seen a ton of him this season but he’s been very active so far tonight making atleast 2 plays that altered LSU drives.
Chaisson ain’t bad either ....  
Jim from Katonah : 1/13/2020 9:15 pm : link
There is an incredible amount of NFL talent on the field right now.
Simmons  
Mike in NY : 1/13/2020 9:18 pm : link
I can see why you want him versus someone like Ertz, but he needs to do a better job disengaging

Love Chaisson and Simmons. The kind of freak speed guys our defense needs. I want both guys.

So does every LB that's come out of college in the last 10-15 years. I looked earlier today. Kuechly, Wagner, Patrick Willis, Bowman & Rolando McClain all had this concern according to scouting reports.
I think Simmons will go #3

Would be great if NYG can draft this stud

No doubt about that. LSU has its share and it's pretty amazing to me Clemson had their whole DL drafted last year and they're right back reloaded.
hes an impact player  
Dankbeerman : 1/13/2020 9:24 pm : link
but not gonna be a LB in the NFL. he will get washed out and he doesnt tackle down hill well enough to set the edge. He will be a great blitzer and cover guy oN TE's.

Cam Chancelor type. could excel.in a cover 3 type d.

Thank you for this expert analysis

Burrows with great quick reaction to take off...

tyrik13 : 1/13/2020 9:38 pm : link
Balling tonight! He is all over the place, no way in hell hes not gonna be at the top of the board come draft time. This is who we need to take at 4
Lawrence is sailing a lot of throws tonight  
Jim from Katonah : 1/13/2020 9:40 pm : link
Is this something unusual for him?

I know Lawrence is the uber prospect, but I like Burrow better.
Dank  
ryanmkeane : 1/13/2020 9:45 pm : link
The experts said the same thing about Tremaine Edmunds. And 2 years in he’s one of the best linebackers in the NFL.
I really like this LT...  
bw in dc : 1/13/2020 9:49 pm : link

Simmons just got knocked  
Mr. Bungle : 1/13/2020 10:04 pm : link
on his ass.
It's so strange  
Jon in NYC : 1/13/2020 10:05 pm : link
to me that they play him as safety. Takes away a lot of his game changing ability imo.
They are using Simmons as an edge rusher and  
PatersonPlank : 1/13/2020 10:06 pm : link
a middle LB, depending on the D. He is good in coverage.

Agreed, but I don’t think they have the cover guys
I missed the first couple drives of the game.  
Mr. Bungle : 1/13/2020 10:09 pm : link
But since I've been watching, Simmons has done nothing.

He was all over the place in the beginning of the game but sine then hes done nothing. Hes mostly just being used in coverage though

Exact same for me. Heard great things. Put game on...nothing except getting knocked on ass by a tiny WR and getting swallowed on a blitz as burrow runs by him for 6.

I'm a Simmons fan but I'm not so sure he is a LBer.
The other LB xxxx'ski  
section125 : 1/13/2020 10:17 pm : link
is pretty damn good.

Simmons is all over the place. Give him a set position and I think he is fine.
He is not going to make every defensive play.

You mean the play where he was held around the neck? He has at least 2 pass break ups and has been a force.

I don't know  
Bill in UT : 1/13/2020 10:34 pm : link
The couple of times he pressured the QB, he was unblocked. He made a couple of stops on the TE and RB on pass plays, but they were near the LOS. I don't know how well he covers in space.

Agreed. He was covering Moss the TE all over the field and Moss did nothing. The one play he didn't take him, he got the TD there before half.

Haha, what? Is there any player that’s every played football that is good in coverage but can’t play fast? Not sure how that’s even possible.
