Wtf.. Brees and Brady hate pressure and push up the middle... Literally had Brady got hurt.  This is the great football analysis you can only get on draft night in the Huddle..

Considering they litterally had to change their gameplan and triple team Brown (including 2 OL projected in the first 3 rounds this draft) Even though Auburn also had another DT protected in the 2nd round. 

 

Id say, yeah

He's the toughest guy they game plan. They didnt change their game plan vs Clemson and still put up a ton of points.

I'm mostly playing coy but it is a bit telling that the quote specifies SEC. If he was the hardest person to gameplan for period, he should have just said that. Maybe it wasn't Simmons (although he seems like a logical candidate) but it seems like there must have been someone outside the SEC that was harder to plan for based on the wording. Regardless that's still very high praise. He's also the highest drafted defensive player out of the SEC, so he should be.

lmao bro you have to be joking right?

I know you haven;t played sports...but trust me when I say a QB does not like a giant man running towards him when trying to distribute the ball.

I think it's time to log off bud.

The best news is that Hurney drafted him. It would've been so easy to draft Simmons! I hope that Rhule was in on it because it would mean that he knows more about football than he's letting on. I mean, all that talk about positionless players didn't hold up once you get the opportunity to take a bulldozer at DT!

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
