His job is to cover Tony G and make sure no long runs. Well Tony G had 100+ yards against him and Larry Johnson had 4 20+ runs. Each time Tony gonzalez had a catch, Ko was right there which means it was his man, and on the long runs, each one he was burnt at the line and then chasing after him. We need to play Byron Scott more. He single handedly stopped Antonio Gates and Kellen Winslow.

But I agree, Simpson was terrible. He got beat in pass coverage several times and also got burned on LJ's long run. Scott jumped ahead of Simpson on the depth chart for a reason. Unfortunately, Simpson seems to be one of those guys who has all the physical tools but lacks the smarts. It was no secret that he was raw when they drafted him and the Bills knew he would be a project. But after 2 years, the results aren't good.
I know, 3 years, but I'm not counting the season he was injured.

Originally posted by Dantheman1280Simpson was not good my any means, but did anyone notice how many times Michell looked out of place, or ran by the play. He is extremely overrated in my opinion!
I said this last week: Mitchell is feast or famine. Send him on a blitz and he'll make a spectacular play, but drop him into pass coverage on 2nd and 10 or tell him to make a tackle on a run on 2nd and 5 and he sucks.

Re: Ko simpson almost made us lose the game
Corner was in coverage on most of Gonzo's completions. This, however, does not refute the point the Simpson sucks. He is playing himself out of a job IMO.

Re: Ko simpson almost made us lose the game
Originally posted by OpIv37He missed the pass coverage then missed the tackle in that long play down the sideline. On one play, he tried to strip the ball from LJ rather than just making the tackle and it allowed him to get a first down. Those two plays come immediately to mind, but he was out of position most of the day.

Originally posted by thenry20It's up to the D-line and LB's to limit runs not the secondary (they're in for pass coverage last I checked). Where did you learn football?"Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Re: Ko simpson almost made us lose the game
Simpson has indeed been a bit of a disappointment. While I'm ready to fill his spot, we do have to remember Youboty and how long it took for him to develop. I'd actually be happy with having Scott and Whitner as our starting safeties next year, though depth would be nice.
Corner let up a few receptions, but was anyone else pretty impressed with how he played? I remember at least one throw to Gonzo that Corner nearly intercepted (I think it bounced off a guy). He was decent yesterday from what I saw (though I didn't pay all that much attention to specific players)."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."
