You are right about Simmons and I thank you for correcting me on that. And if Beane and his staff and the coaches thought Simmons was the answer he’d be here.
I stand corrected in Simmons playing one game last year. I think Beane has shown he keeps an eye on what is going on around the league, and that he and the coaching staff, together with his pro scouts, discuss guys constantly.
Call ‘em as I see ‘em. Other than Oliver and Bosa in the second half no one on the defense played well last night. I give credit to their offense for playing great. Others pick a player for criticism.
Running at a freight train from the side and expecting to stop it doesn’t have great odds. You have picked out the guy you want to rag on all year. Enjoy.
So a guy that hasn’t played in over a year is your definition of a stud? Ok.
There’s a reason Simmons hasn’t played in over a year, and why Peppers got cut by Vrabel. And it’s easy to just say we can trade for a stud safety without any clue whether anyone is available.
