He didn't look half bad last year, either.
If we were to cut BWill we would only save 4.3m. We most likely don't cut him until 2020 when we can save 10m. We do need to continue drafting DL though.
If the season is a bust and we get somewhere between the 8th to 15th pick I would love Simmons from Clemson. He would be such a gigantic improvement for our lb corps.
Isaiah Simmons? I feel like he’s a better version of Derwin James. A do it all player. Take a look at Willie Gay Jr. from Miss St. His coverage skills are ridiculous. Highly athletic player as well
I always thought of Simmons as more of a SS, he played safety up until this year and was absolutely incredible there, and I think when he gets to the nfl he might be better off as a strong/dime
I would use him as a hybrid lb/safety. Let him lead the defense from the middle with the range to follow any play from there and ability to shut down rbs and tes.
He may be lightweight but is he as explosive as shazier? This is a thing people like to say but shazier was FREAKISHLY explosive, he was the most explosive LB in the league and would probably outrun most SSs in 20 yard sprints. They replaced shazier with mark barron and I would never consider Barron a capable replacement because he’s not nearly as explosive.
I think he's at least close to Shazier's explosiveness. He flies around the field.
I like him. He would be a really good fit.
Just discovered him. Really good pass rusher...consistent with multiple ways to get there. Pretty relentless and physical. Has a long way to go as a run defender so far as being instinctive and finding the ball but he is pretty solid at the point. I'm basing this off of 2018 tape but they line him up all over the place, even dropping him into coverage.
I'm alergic to Boise State defenders
