Did Delvon Simmons Get Snubbed?

SIMMONS

Should defensive tackle Delvon Simmons have been invited to the NFL Combine? He was sixth on the team in tackles with 57, had 10.5 tackles for loss along with four sacks.

    • Mora can’t coach. Name 1 big game he’s won in his tenure? Can’t be USC cause where the clown school

        • Like I said he has beaten USC on sanctions and the year we come off he gets ripped.
          #NeverWonAnything

          • Still missing the point. As I recall, Kiffy said the Sanctions were no problem. In fact, didn’t Bozo U have a #1 recruiting class prior to sanction. Typical Bozo, excuses, excuses, excuses.

          • Again in 4 years the only thing you can point to is wins against a team on sanctions. Those days are over. You better stick to basketball, oops!

    • Think before you speak. USC had the MOST PLAYERS ON NFL ROSTERS in 2015. AGAIN…

      And USC was VOTED as the “#1 NFL FACTORY” by NFL GM’s on the NFL Network over the summer.

      FIGHT ON✌️

      • So F88k’g what, What does that have to do with the Fact 9 UCLA players were INVITED to the combine and the Bozo’s just 7.

        The starting center for the Panthers, SB losers, is an ex-Bozo. Fireball on.

        • And what the hell do Reggie Bush, Dillon Baxter, and Caleb Wilson have to do with the 2016 NFL scouting combine?

    • 9 future NFL players and they still couldn’t even win the Pac 12 South? Talk about underachieving!

      • 2012: Bozo U voted preseason #1 CFB. The “Unfinished Bidness” season Bozo’s finish 7 – 5, losing their last game to GT, a sub .500 team, 21 -7 in the unforgettable El Paso Sun Bowl.

        There was no fight JG and Kiffy looked terrific in a Sombrero and shades.

        • How do you know you have hit a new low? By taking other failures and equating them to your own to make you feel better.

          • How do you know you’re Bozo fan. Name yourself Ted E. Bear and spend time on this blog defending Bozo U failures.

        • We’re talking present day UCLA football and you started it.
          Why are you constantly bringing up the past when your argument inevitably falls flat?

  1. Delvon Simmons has talent, but he took too many plays off, and that usually happens from lack of conditioning.

    • Did you share my impression that he played better toward the end of the year?

      Did he play too many minutes per game for a DL? I have read comments that the lack of rotation there was a problem.

      Still, I have questioned for a while whether USC has optimized its strength and conditioning. They should be stealing from the acknowledged leaders: Stanford, Harbaugh, and none other than Chip Kelly.

      I can’t explain why too many line players look overweight. No one at USC comments on USC’s injury rate, but I doubt it’s a leader in that category.

      USC was late to adopt GPS monitors, and only installed virtual reality training at the end of the year.

      For a team with a short roster, it seemed like especially poor decision making. Another symptom of insularity.

      • Clay Helton did complain about the conditioning of his players, but he retained Steve Sarkisians strength and conditioning coach. Firing someone isn’t always the answer, but why keep a coach that you have to explain to him, how to do his job? Oh how I hope USC hires a strong Athletic director that expects dominance from his football program, because that will make Helton be more decisive, with his decision making.

        • In fairness, CH wasn’t hesitant to discharge other staff, and only two “coach-level” guys are still there. Maybe CH thinks that once the objectives are defined to his satisfaction, Lewis is very capable of executing the plan. If so, I can also see the benefit of less disruption.

          Players strongly supported hiring Helton. Since non-players like you and me outright opposed the hire, the players’ attitude may well have reflected weariness with or discomfort with change. A smart leader fits that sentiment into his early planning.

          Helton saw the respective fates of his predecessors. Unless he is totally clueless, he badly wants to succeed ON THE FIELD, and not become the third short-timer. Haden’s resignation turned up the pressure, unless Lopes becomes the A.D. Let’s hope not! On that topic, I was encouraged that USC didn’t deny discussions with Jurich. Not that I’m a Jurich lover; I had never heard his name. But he’s not part of the recent disappointments, and he knows how to work with confident, strong-willed coaches, which the best ones are.

  2. USC usually has a player or two that looks like Tarzan, but plays like Jane, or there always injured. Greg Townsend almost fell into that category, but he sucked it up this season .

  3. Lets look at it with logic..

    Ucla has had full recruiting classes of 25 or more in the past lets say 7 years ..while maintaining 85 players on their rosters during that span..

    Turning the page to 2015 with 9 invites to the nfl combine.. 9/25 recruits from 2011 .. a 39.3 %

    USC in 2011 was only allowed 15 to be signed .. 7/15 are invited to the nfl combine.. for a 48.7% ..

    Sounds to me BOZO U continues to have the more attractive players for the nfl..

    • The Blogger and his merry band of trolls hate it when someone backs up their comment with facts instead of the usual “other sources”

        • So you’re telling me baby LB Sua was not included in all your numbers and “Sounds to me BOZO U continues to have the more attractive players for the nfl..” comment ??

          #Checkplease

    • Of the 16 players invited from USC/UCLA only four were from the signing class of 2011. Per Rivals.

        • 3 from UCLA, 1 from USC. Your theory won’t work because of RS, medical RS, and early outs. UCLA has five invitees from their 2013 class. Figuring your percentages, you are using five different classes (2011-2015).

    • PRD,

      Does this make you feel better about the 2015 season, or the current state of the FB program?

      I wish it made me feel better.

      As I commented before, there has been plenty of recent mediocrity in both programs.

      • Do you know one just name one, I bet you remember who number 11 was and you wont be thinking kicker .. .
