NFL's most Under Rated Defenders

[LinvilleGorge]

Say what you want about Chris Simms, but the guy is probably tougher than you.  Likely a lot tougher.  Dude came back in the game and continued playing after suffering a ruptured spleen.  That's ridiculously tough.

Must have got a concussion when he got his spleen busted because that was Wallace....idiot.

Wallace injuring the spleen is likely incorrect. Wallace was fined for a 4th quarter hit but Simms himself singled out a play in the first half where Jenkins and Davis hit him as the point where "I was in significant pain from that point on."

Simms said his problems began in the first quarter, when he was sandwiched by defensive tackle Kris Jenkins and linebacker Thomas Davis as he released an incompletion on Tampa Bay's second possession.

Ruptured spleens are not always painful...ask a doctor or if you prefer you can Google it.

Being oblivious to internal injuries does not make one tough.

[SIGCHI222]

Look...I am on YOU guys side.  IDGAF who hit him.  TD, Wallace...whatever.

I watched the game, saw the Wallace hit and always thought it was the Wallace hit.

If I am wrong I really don't care, the hit was brutal and I still think Simms spleen got busted then.

 

I don't trust wienie-ass QB's to tell me anything, especially self evaluations or recollections of one of their 200 injuries in a 16 game span.

Good memory, honestly that hit was late too. 2003 playoffs would have been a flag fest today.

i'm surprised he wasn't flagged for that hit even then.  it was pretty damn late.

that and ricky manning's entire skill set is basically against the rules now.

I thought it was Gamble that hit McNabb.
