The question in the headline of this post — ‘why haven’t the New York Giants re-signed Isaiah Simmons yet?,’ is one that seems to come into the Big Blue View mailbox consistently.
So, here are my thoughts on Simmons and whether or not he has a future with the Giants.
The biggest consideration/reality is that the Giants have a different defensive coordinator. Shane Bowen is a coordinator who wants rush the passer with four. He wants to be strong against the run, and his defenses with the Tennessee Titans were. Former defensive coordinator Wink Martindale was a blitz-happy ’rush the passer with numbers’ guy who wanted to scheme pressure.
