I LOVE this move!!!!!!!!!!! This lets both Simon and Mathieu play to their strengths! Did yall see Simon in the Spring game???? People pressed the panic button because of JJ's overall #'s from that game but Simon took away 2-3 long pass plays that very few DB's could make. He's long athletic can jump and showed the ability to close on the deep ball after being behind a step or 2. Mathieu remaining in the slot and being able to roam freely and blitz and drop back in coverage in a zone read instead of man to man is what he does best. This deffense if the LB play steps up is gonna be a monster! Hurry up 9/3/11

Simon is a complete stud. His HS film was unbelievable and he and Mo will be awesome next year. Ive been on the field right next to Simon and Im 6'0" and he literally towered over me in cleats. He takes away perfect passes with his height. You just dont find guys who are 6'4" in cleats who have hips/speed like that

Completely agree...I was EXTREMELY critical of JJ last year. However, I thought he really did make some good throws in the Spring game, but Simon made some beastly plays!!... After watching the Spring game, Simon rose to my Def. sleeper pick like I said earlier in this thread. Dude is very good.
