That kind of sounds like how Wink used him though, as a hybrid defensive back/linebacker. I think Alabama used a lot of the Money position which is the 6th DB i think he was Clemson though He was. Just saying the tweet from Raanan makes it seem like something new but the Giants used him like that last year and when Daboll was in Alabama it was being used, not that he, as an OC, would've had much to do with it but he would've seen it a lot. |

I thought Arizona was really good with the lb/s hybrid positions yet he didn't work out there |

Maybe simplufying things for him would serve him better. |

Jordan Raanan
@jordanraanan
Interesting note from Day 1 of Giants training camp: Isaiah Simmons was working with the cornerbacks. The plan is to use him as a nickelback. He is fully on board with the idea. It aligns with his desires.
Simmons noted he had his most productive year in Arizona in a similar role under Vance Joseph. He had 99 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions and 4.0 sacks.
Simmons thinks this will be a similar role in Shane Bowen's defense with the Giants.

Dude is an athletic freak, so maybe we're looking to match him up against TEs and bigger slot WRs? |

Or maybe in 5 WR sets. Hell even Thibs has to learn to cover when he drops back. I dont see this as a bad thing. TBH I still think Simmons is only going to be a limited snap player who make splash plays here and there. |

He’s a hybrid without a home and this is likely an indication of how shallow the depth is at CB on this roster. |

Does a blocking HB get reps at Guard and Tackle? Does a WR line up at TE? He’s a tweezer linebacker and safety, whose weight fluctuates between 220lb-242lbs, who just so happens to be taking reps opening day of camp at a position the Giants are weak at. or maybe you’re correct. Anything is possible. Jones at linebacker could happen 👍👍👍 |
