re: Will Tyrann still be the nickel guy next year?

I don't quite get why people are this confident in Simon. The guy is solid, no doubt, but I think his length hurts him on underneath routes and hitches. He's not going to be a Thorpe finalist IMO.

Because he embarrasses receivers on deep routes, is big and physical, and is a beast of a tackler. He dropped a bunch of easy interceptions this year or he would have led the team. He did get beat a few times underneath but who doesn't? He didn't give up anything big all year.
