There's a complete scheme overhaul in New York, under Shane Bowen, while the in New England, the student has become the master. Can he pave his own path forward for the Patriots?
Where I think Simmons struggles is his poor nfl run play whereas Jabrill Peppers in my opinion can play more in the box and take on guards Simmons hasn’t shown that ability or am I way off base
Are big nickels replacing the SAM linebacker? As a chiefs fan I’ll always have a place in my heart for spags scheme but I love the pats the defense it’s collection and hybrid guys
Yes. A lot of teams are now moving to have a 'big' Ni and a true pass-first (CB) Ni. There was a move a while back to just put a Slot CB there, but now you are seeing teams shift to have 2 different bodies.

Agree. Simmons is great in coverage, but struggles in pass rush & run defense. Not great for a box player...

I’ve always loved tweener players
