He is a 3 technique DT, like laroi glover and warren sap. Even though that is a 1 gap technique, you are still often playing on the 0 or 1 gap, not the 3 gap.

All this talk of what D a player is suited for is far less important than the player's ability to stay on the field and his motivation. I'd far rather have a guy who had a good motor and went all out than a guy who "fits."

He's broken. Why else the Colts who had a crappy run defense release a guy who was a pro bowler and is still young.

He just failed a physical last week.

He was never much of a run defender in the first place.

Would be a nice addition to Phillips 3-4 one gap defense?

Fuhgetabouitt!

This is what my friends, the Tataglias, said about him (they know "sports"):

The guy is 30
The guy did not play last year
The guy won't go anywhere cheap
He didn't pass a physical
Ergo facto ipso suxso ....

With all due respect, I have to say fuhgetabouitt!:bang2:

I don't think it had to do with his health as much as it did with his attitude. The Colts and Simon just did not get along for some reason.

From what I understand he has some kind of "Mystery" Illness. No one has ever said what kind of illness it was so I would be a little nervous.

Dollars to doughnuts that is most likely clinical depression.
