I just checked, and Simmons missed 6 games after that hit, yet he still had the best year of his 8 year career...

outofhnd · 03-21-2005

I dunno I have seen kickers and punters lay hits harder than deion. He is the worst sideline tackler of all time though, nothing intimidates receivers like a weak 2 handed push out of bounds.

D-ReK · 03-21-2005

Dammit, I worded that wrong...What I meant to say was, as far as tackling abilites, Deion was/is worse than most kickers and punters, and I've seen plenty of QBs lay the wood to someone after throwing an INT...

Holden135 · 03-21-2005

Having drob out there is like having a fifth lb out there for us, he is a sure tackler, can take down big backs or te's and can flat out lay the wood.

Nope, you are correct...just note the head slump after the hit.

the best hit last year was in the Raider game here at Reliant, when Dunta picked off his 60th pick of the game( ) and "Petey" Faggans laid out one of the Raiders lineman on the return. Anyone remember that?

actually that was Simmons, not Faggans. And the Raider's lineman was Sims.

If anyone does have that clip I am very interested in getting it. Please PM if you do have a clip of that hit so I can beg you to send it to me by email.

And just for the record, that was absolutely the very best hit I have seen in the NFL, EVER. Sims, the Raider's lineman, helmet literally got knocked off his head by the concussion of the Hit itself alone. And that was a squared up hit by Simmons. 300+ pound lineman gets LAID OUT by Simmons, 190 pounds. I was standing there when it happened and actually saw it live and in action. Everyone else is screaming about the interception and I am screaming 'DID YOU SEE THAT HIT'.

Absolutely B-E-A-UTIFULL

What about the one at the New Orleans game when D. Carr juked the LB out of his shoes to score a TD, that's one of my favorites.

>He should have been in the Pro Bowl and been Defensive rookie of the year last season, he was robbed. And I feel we are lucky just to have one DRob, I am not saying I would mind another couple of players like him, but how many >teams have players with the talent, skill, and enthusiasm (sp?) as DRob.

After reading what D-Rob said after he was passed over for the above honors, I don't believe he is a team player -- nor do I believe he "was robbed." Those who did make it were just as deserving as D-Rob, if not moreso.

**edo783** · 03-23-2005

The problem is, if DRob keeps doing that, we WILL need two or three spares cause sooner or later, that will take him out of the game. A. Glenn told him he will have a short career he keeps doing that. Fun to watch, and you have got to love the heart, but just make the tackel and not try and punish the guy. Let the LBs do that, their built better for it.

BLASPHEMY!! No but seriously, I agree with Glenn on that...If we want D-Rob to be with us for any amount of time, he should pick and choose when to lay the wood on a guy...

ThaShark316 · 03-23-2005

D-Rob is up there with Winfield for Best tackling CB. But that said...don't sleep on Glenn's tackling ability, he can hit too.

THEFUTURE · 03-23-2005

also another great one is the AJ catch against the vikings where he ended up getting flipped while in mid air.
