Ken Schroy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Jets' Matt Simms showing improvement (J.P. Pelzman) The Record November 12, 2014 http://www.northjersey.com/sports/football/lee-simms-is-making-some-headway-1.1131569 FLORHAM PARK — Jets quarterbacks coach David Lee said he's pleased with the progress that has been made by third-string QB Matt Simms, a former Don Bosco star. Simms, who spent the first eight weeks of the season on the practice squad, saw his only game action this season Nov. 2, when he relieved an injured Michael Vick for one series. Simms went 3-for-8 for 39 yards and drove the Jets from their 17 to the Kansas City 40 until the drive stalled with four straight incompletions. "I thought Matt did a good job of coming in with a lot of poise," Lee said Tuesday. "I thought he was calm. He threw some strikes in there." On fourth-and-10 from the 40, Simms underthrew an open Jeremy Kerley while under heavy pressure from blitzing safety Husain Abdullah. Lee indicated Simms needed to get rid of the ball faster on that play. "He's got to quick-twitch, make that play and get the snot knocked out of him," Lee said, adding, "He's improved fundamentally. His technique, his touch, is so much better. … I think he's an ascending player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If Vick goes down, I'd like to see him take it the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If Vick goes down, I'd like to see him take it the rest of the way. Absolutely...no need to see Geno again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So great to read that Lee is "pleased" with Simms' progress. The guy has done such a bang up job coaching Geno and preparing Vick for his backup role that his comments really do have an extraordinary amount or weight behind them.

Latinlawyer Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 They should glue geno to the bench. No more Geno this year...cut him in the winter time. He and Tajd Boyd open up an ice cream stand together. 69 Incompletions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadetree Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Be ready, Matt. Vicks got a mushy brain and the other guy is scared to go in. Be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4jets Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 This coming from David Lee means nothing. If he had Manning, he'd ruin him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with the players themselves correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiredJetsFan Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Id like to see Matt get a few starts. I know he wont, and I don't have high expectations for him, but it would give me something to care about. I hate Vick with a passion, and Geno is horrid, so I'd love to see if we can maybe get lucky for once and get some decent play out of Simms.

Latinlawyer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 What is worth more David Lee's endorsement or a piece of sh*t? Its obvious, a piece of sh*t is worth more because you can use it as fertilizer while David Lee's endorsement means nothing at all. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
