No..he's an outstanding player who had a off game. A&M is outstanding on offense. He played better as the game wore on.

He had some slips trying to stop and cover. He'll be alright.

He is no where near what he was with Mo on the other side and without HB7 and RB13 complimenting the defensive backfield.

He gets smoked a lot and seems to be out of position more than in position.

He is a surprise in the wrong way this year.

Mills, however, is killing it!

He does get beat on those comeback routes a lot...
It's like he's so worried about getting beat deep he just lets guys turn around and catch the ball

We are spoiled when a performance like Simon had yesterday (including a huge interception) is looked upon as an off day.

DBs give up catches. It happens.

Very concerned with Simon, and it wasnt just yesterday. Hes struggled alot this year. It seems that whenever they throw his way, his back is always turned to the QB and hes playing catch up on the WR. He had a good INT, but hes not a blanket cover guy. Hes good on deep balls because of his size and range, but they were running hitches, slants, and comebacks at him and he was getting off balanced and slipping. I honestly think our best cover DBs go: Mills, Collins, and then Simon. Also was very impressed with Micah Eugene yesterday. Was doing great covering his WR, and he was the guy that was in to help contain Manziel. Our young DBs are having as big an impact as our veteran DBs. Mills, Collins, Eugene, and Martin are making as many or more plays than Simon, Reid, and Loston. The future of our DBs is glowing very bright.

I am a lot more worried about whether or no we'll be able to crack 100 yds of total offense.

He has been getting burnt in coverages. Auburn's QB picked on him and so I'd Johhny football. There is more inferences but to me those stick out in my mind.

I think he will be a liability but if the ball is tipped or thrown off a back foot he will pick it off. He just gets burnt a lot oppose to the freshman.

You are going to pick on a guy that had a huge interception? The guy got thrown a few times after falling down. Why do people insist on picking apart the dumbest things?
