QB Simms Getting Bad Reputation
Stephen F. Holder, St. Petersburg Times - FULL ARTICLE
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Chris Simms is gradually gaining a reputation among defenders as someone whose passes can be swatted at the line of scrimmage. That much is obvious by the way linemen seemingly come into games looking for opportunities. It happened three times in the two quarters Simms played during Saturday night's game vs. Jacksonville. And it happened Aug. 19 against the Dolphins. What's more, it's been happening with great frequency since last season, when Simms had 5.1 percent of his passes batted down, which was the most in the NFL.
