BTG: OL talk with Coach Simmonds

[BeyondTheGreen]

I had an OL conversation with Coach Simmonds this morning after practice.  We talked about his new-look line, camp battles, a very coachable player and street fighters.

ran into Simmonds at the Truck Yard in Dallas (back when it was not so douchey) and he and his wife are some super solid people.

Did we recruit Zangief?

Thank you for the access, Ashton!

Obviously, QB play is a factor in this number, but this number highlights for me the importance of this unit in helping our QB succeed...

QB Sacked Percentage

• 2013 - 2.66% (#6 in FBS)
• 2014 - 7.08% (#89 in FBS)

Going back to Season 1 of BTG, the episode at Simmonds' home immediately elevated him to one of my favorites on the staff (a list that seems to be growing more competitive each offseason, by the way) and I'm expecting his guys to really pave the way for a solid running game this year & improvement in keeping the QB upright.
