Chinn > Simmons

At this point, it looks like Chinn is going to be a good draft pick. Will be a shame when the Panthers refuse to pay him in a couple years and he goes to the Giants. 

The Panthers are notorious for not paying linebackers, it's true.

I’m sure Simmons will be fine, but the worry of him being a tweener/hybrid is coming true during these first 3 weeks. Not all players can play that role. Chin is though. Still very early. I’m sure Simmons will have 10 tackles and a pick six vs us though.

I'm sure he wont

Getting Brown and then still drafting Chinn was my best case scenario for the first 2 rounds. When we drafted YGM I figured that wasn't going to happen. I was so stoked when we traded up for him. He is everything I thought he would be and more. I knew he was athletic and fast but his football aptitude and toughness were pleasant surprises. As was the ability to pick up the defense so quickly.

Hard to tell on a message board, my bad

He really does tackle different. There's just something extra when he brings a guy down. Brings back memories of Chris Harris and Mike Mitchell. When those guys tackled you, you knew you were in the NFL. 

He has that something extra but it's also clear he isn't winding up to make a big tackle, it's fluid and natural.  A normal tackle from Chinn and the other player looks like he just got knocked big time.

Also worth noting that ARI is REALLY talented on defense to the point of where Simmons can best make an impact as the nickel

Chinn came in and was expected to contribute right away all over the field (which he definitely has!)

Good grief, can we stop making conclusions on players after a couple games.

Wish we could have seen 21 and 59 together.  Luke spent his whole career trying to mask our (for the most part) awful safety play

I really like Simmons and I hope he excels but I just worry about him being compared to his draft position. I feel like he would be a great compliment to a defense that’s already stacked.

Yeah, but he was our 3rd pick, so it doesn't count. Gross-Matos, who actually made some plays yesterday, was the 2nd pick, and therefore doomed to fail.

That’s not how it works.

They’re finally playing Reddick at OLB instead of ILB. He already has 2 sacks. Arizona declined his 5th year option.
 

I was hoping they’d continue to mis use him this season and we’d be able to get him on a nice team friendly deal. However, I’m thinking he may play his way out of our price range at his current pace

Chinn legit reminds me of a young TD, the tenacity and way he is always around the ball. Can't wait to continue to watch him grow and become better, he has a knack for being in the right place and with experience will be a disruptive force to deal with.
