I like Eugene Sims he has been a good back up DE for us long time. Its a good thing to have all but one of our pass DE from 2015 season back. Good for Snead/Fisher. Sims played more time in 2015 than in three or four yrs previously. Sims in truth finished
11 games for the Rams @ RDE for Quinn. Sims production @ LDE was no where close to the normal RDE production.
Sims could only manage only one 1/2 sacks & only 24 tacks in total those are not good for a DE who finished & played the majority of snaps @ RDE. On the positive Sims is one serious iron clad player who held up under serious heavy duty work assignment
.
Trying to be positive here on our edge rushers but its hard......Sims & Hayes both lack good pass rushing skills
. Their best game is in the stopping of the run from the edge. In 2015 Sims produced little of that too. Sims had some big & consistent runs come through his area of responsibility last season. So if Quinn does not fully recover & you are expecting that Sims will be the man to hold up the RDE post .....
you might be disappointed.
If Quinn is healthy both he & Sims are a great tag team. Sims best contributions always show up on the field when he comes off the bench in relief of Quinn & when he is used inside the DL in passing situations. I sure hope the Rams defense can use Sims this upcoming 2016 season.
