    I love me some BIG Jeff, but he lacks the ability to really pressure the QB. He doesn't have that quick twitch move to suddenly beat the OL like Casey could....so we are lacking any sort of interior pass rush. In college Simmons had 7 career sacks...Casey 22.

    I'm hoping when Beasley gets healthy it will allow us to kick Clowney inside more on passing downs to help with that inside rush...QBs hate pressure in their face.

    Interior pressure been a BIG problem for years, even with Casey. No interior pressure=average or bad pass rush. Need to push the QB back or outside of the pocket.

    Beasley wouldn’t still be a Titan if that were true. Either they are lying about the knee to cover his poor conditioning, or he really does have a knee issue. No way they keep him around to be a prissy man.

    Casey was not a great pass rusher either.

    Casey average 5.5 sacks per season in Tennessee.

    Simmons has 2 in 11 games coming, starting his career off a torn acl.

    Interior pressure especially sacks is one of the hardest things to achieve in the NFL. That's why haynesworth was such a gamechanger, and why Aaron Donald is probably the most valuable defensive player in the nfl.

    This.

    Simmons was everywhere against Denver, play after play. He had a goalline stop, and the hand for the Landry interception, but otherwise I thought he was VERY quiet against Jacksonville.

    He's still developing, but he will be a very very good player.

    Don't really need Simmons to single handedly get sacks. We need him to get enough push to prevent the qb from stepping up in the pocket, thus helping Landry and Clowney get the sacks.
