Fins' want Simoneau?!?!

I'd disagree with that. To his credit Payton is all about open competition. This is how Pierre Thomas is still on the roster instead of Antonio Pittman or a Marques Colston instead of Donte Stallworth. Now if you want to say he overestimated how good his starters were in '06 going into '07 then he's guilty. But Payton had little reason to juggle the defensive lineup. I believe the D finished 11th overall in '06. If Simmons had been incredible last preseason and Payton had still started Simoneau then you might have argument. But Simmons didn't stand out anymore than Simoneau so he went with the guy that helped the team get to the NFCCG.

Your talking about '06 I'm talking about '07 if you really think Bullocks out played KK and Jason David out played any corner on the team than that's your opinion and your entitled to that but I disagree...I do agree about PT but I also felt he should not have rode the bench as much as he did when our top two backs went down, just look at what he did against the Bears. I'm not questining the whole Simmons, Simoneau situation cause I didnt see enough of Simmons last season to judge, but if your going to go strickly off preseason and camp than why was Hass cut? The fact is they were wrong and why we are upgrading in '08 give me Danny Clark over Simoneau any day of the week......Lets see if the Shanle gets the start again this season I think we can all agree he did not "EARN IT".....
