Isaiah Simmons - ACC Defensive Player of the Year (GIFs)

GIFs of Isaiah from the game Saturday against the chickens. His performance earned him the hardest working player of the game honors. Isaiah fuels the versatility of our stout defense. Congratulations Isaiah on the ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Isaiah is the key to our entire defense working.
He's literally a 1 man wrecking crew.
The problem he creates for so many Offensive coordinator, and ultimately the QB's is you can't get a read on what's he's doing.
With most players that line up outside their normal place, OC's and QB's can usually figure out with a high probability 1 of 2 things that player is going to do from that position.
With Isaiah, he could be doing up to 4 different things b/c of his knowledge, speed and size. That's brutal for an OC.
Given BV's scheme, and how it's literally updated from week to week, it's a literal guessing game for the OC's and QB's when it comes to protections, pre snap reads when trying to account for Isaiah,...and you won't know either until the play is over.
And, b/c of his speed, and the fact he now has history of making plays from untraditional places, he could line up 20 yards off the ball at safety and the Offense literally has to think, is he coming on a Blitz or not.To make things even more difficult, he lines up all over the field, making it virtually impossible to game plan around him. You can't account for him, b/c of his speed.
Further, he's big enough he could line up next to the DE and blitz, or show blitz, or Spy the QB, Spy the RB, or run out and cover a TE or the slot.
We are very lucky to have him. As I said, Simmons is a one man wrecking crew and I can't wait to see the damage he inflicts this weekend and hopefully against both LSU and Ohio St.
Let's hope we find another like him for the future too!!

And possibly the most beautiful thing that makes so much of this work, that really needs to be noted:
K'von Wallace
B/c the moment they QB's and OC's think they got a bead on Isaiah Simmons, or, focus on him too much....here comes K'von, who, in his own right has been under apprecaited as he is doing some similar things that Isaiah is.

Absolutely. We're going to miss both of those young men.

Not only was he in phase with a WR 35 yards downfield

he also showed better ball skills than many CBs.

I personally like the one where the LT keeps trying to use

good blocking technique, but literally cannot get his body, arms and hands in place fast enough to ever get the block on Simmons, who eventually works around the LT for the sack.
