jetstream23 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Because Maxman gets a nickel of ad revenue anytime someone says Jamal I thought I'd see what people thought about this comparison... I see some similarities. The question about Simmons is whether he's an OLB, a strong safety, a free safety, etc? He's a bit of a swiss army knife that doesn't have that one, true home position. Jamal is clearly a strong safety but does a lot of the same things Simmons does. Both can rush the passer, both are excellent open field tacklers, etc. In this regard isn't Simmons pretty similar to Jamal who is predominately a SS, but who was brought down to the Edge almost as an OLB several times last year and registered 6 sacks? I'm interested to see what team takes Simmons, at what spot he gets taken (before or after #6 ) and what position he'll be lined up at by that team. Question - Player for player, would you rather have Simmons or Jamal Adams? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 He’s basically the same. Just bigger and more athletic. I’d take Simmons just because he’d be on a rookie deal and not need a new contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Wake me up when he's an All-Rookie, 2x Pro Bowler and 2x All-Pro and not another Darron Lee or Vernon Gholston type of bust. Great, great talent but still a long ways to go before mentioned within the same sentence as Jamal Adams. I remember i thought 20 years ago that LaVar Arrington was going to become one of the greatest LB's ever; he wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 It's funny. They're both "tweeners". But Simmons is actually a linebacker size wise (6'4, 238 I think), faster (4.38 vs. 4.55), somebody somewhere pointed out that where he lined up for Clemson compared to where Tyrann Mathieu lined up - lots in the slot, and he still had seven sacks in that role. I'm not sure why Simmons is not more highly regarded. He is an insane prospect. Being that big, that fast, and that productive is absolutely wild. The rumor that the Falcons want to move up for him makes a ton of sense. They play in a division with Kamara and McCaffrey, have a history of being aggressive in the draft, and he's somehow flying under the radar as a complete physical freak who's highly productive. He fits so well in the current NFL too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen a safety with 2 interceptions in 3 years get $15 million a year. But Simmons is a fairly clean prospect and he’ll be real good (like Adams). It ain’t worth taking Simmons in any circumstance but I’ll take the rookie deal Simmons over $15 million Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I love Isaiah Simmons, and think he is going to be a great pro. That said, he probably hopes he can be half as good as Jamal Adams has been. College is one thing, the NFL a totally different animal. Potential is great, production gets you paid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Similar players and functions. I saw Adams’ snap percentages at different roles for 2019 and he was all over the place. Pass rusher, free safety, nickel CB, linebacker, strong safety. Simmons will be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put Brown in there too. While the first round will be loaded with very good OTs and WRs, the very top of this Draft features 4 elite defenders in those guys. They're all better prospects IMO than Wirfs, Thomas, Jeudy, etc. from a position-agnostic standpoint. Ignoring position, it should be Burrow and those 4 defenders as the Top 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 So would Jets fans extend a linebacker that can cover that makes the pro bowl? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Isaiah Simmons: 4 years (3 year starter): College Football 238 career tackles (28.5 for loss), 6 fumbles forced, 20 passes defended, 4 INTs, 1 fumble recovery, 1 Defensive TD and 11.0 career sacks. Jamal Adams is better at NFL Football than this kid is at college football (overall). Jamal Adams: 3 year player (3 year starter): NEW YORK JETS (NFL Football); All-Pro 273 career tackles (28.0 for loss), 6 fumbles forced, 25 passes defended, 2 INT's, 4 fumble recoveries, 2 Defensive TDs and 12.0 career sacks. Give me the proven NFL impact performer and All-Rookie selection, back to back Pro Bowl appearances (Co-M.V.P alongside Mahomes) along with back to back consecutive All-Pro selections (coming off of a breakout 1st-team performance). If Jamal Adams were to re-enter the 2020 NFL draft (with hindsight on an NFL level being 20/20) he's the 1st Defensive Player off the board and goes right after Joe Burrow and if he dropped he'd still become top 5 (instead of 6th). I'm keeping... The same Jet fans praising Simmons for his college on field production haha Are the same fans who don't realize/understand/know/comprehend how dominant Jamal's numbers have been as a Jet Numbers aren't lying (look at Simmons and then compare them to Jamal Adams, x2). especially 2019 while leading us to a top 10 NFL Defense despite a depleted unit by injuries (Mosley), busts (Trumaine) and trades (Leonard) Some of you guys really deserve more of Frost and Pryor. Jet fans deserve more of... Good luck for Simmons. Would be awesome to see NYG looking for their next big blue Giant Lawrence Taylor; it'll be interesting to compare their careers side by side on a yearly and seasonal basis; I've got my money ($$$) on #33 Jamal Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I could then label him "just a pass rusher". Some fane don't realize how 14 sacks per season is only 0.8 sacks per game because there's a lot more to being an OLB than "just a pass rusher" averaging less than 1 sack per game. That's why I hate using INTs and sacks as a way of judging a great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
