Ko Simpson

Is it a good thing that he is in every single one of the highlights of the Pats scoring.

He needs work. Free safety is tough to just jump into as a rookie.

Re: Ko Simpson

McGee isn't giving him a whole lot of help either.

Re: Ko Simpson

Yea our so CALLED top corners arent so top at all...

Re: Ko Simpson

Good and bad, good bc he can fly all over the field and he's near the ball...but on the 2nd Dillon TD run he needs hit and wrap up, not just lay a shoulder. He'll learn that with time.

Re: Ko Simpson

I think part of the reason is, our 'top corners' arent getting that much help from our safeties at times. Its all part of being a rookie, I suppose. I am more disappointed by the play of our LB's to be honest. Sometimes, they dont tackle worth a damn.

Re: Ko Simpson

Yeah I think this kid is going to be good, he just needs some time and experience with the speed of the game at this level. He has all the tangiables though, great size, speed and play-making ability, he and Whitner will be awesome to watch if we ever decide to upgrade our pass rush.

Re: Ko Simpson

It was not intended to start with Simpson this season. In many regards we shouldn't have got rid of Baker, but I don't think its such a bad thing that Ko is learning in the school of hard knocks.

Considering he only played 2 years in college, I still think he's a steal and will only get better.

We have more fundamental problems than two rookie safeties

Re: Ko Simpson

... and you could also say, AT LEAST HE IS IN EVERY PICTURE OF EACH PATS TOUCHDOWN

I want to know "where were the other guys?"

Re: Ko Simpson

This is where dumping Vincent and Baker hurt us. Simpson is raw and could wind up being a great FS for us for a long time, but being a rookie, he's lost out there and as the QB of the secondary, it effects everyone back there as well

He has been absolutely terrible. If you listen to some people around here he has done a pretty good job though and will be in the pro bowl next year along with many others from the best rookie draft class in the last decade for the Buffalo Bills.

Fact is that Simpson has been terrible and this draft class hasn't shown that much potential yet. McCargo was terrible before he got injured. Simpson has been terrible. Many of the other ones can't even make the active roster on a 2-5 team.

The one playing the best is Whitner which he should as the #8 overall pick. The bad thing though is there's other SS's drafted lower that is playing well too and we could've had somebody like Ngata anchoring our DL and still had a good safety later on.

It's still early. We will have to wait and see how it turns out. Many have overrated the players in the draft class cause it wasn't Donahoe drafting them and mainly because it was Marv.

Re: Ko Simpson

I'm not worried. He's only been in the league for six months.

Re: Ko Simpson

The reason Simpson is on those highlights is because one of our corners was turned into burnt toast.
