Defensive end Antonio Simmons, who put together a very solid game against Miami last weekend, is one of the Tech defenders who could be in line for additional snaps this week against Pittsburgh, writes the AJC. As a defensive end, Simmons is a member of one of Tech's absolute weakest units in terms of production. The lack of any pass-rush on The Flats has been well-documented for years now, with no one stepping up as a formidable threat since the departure of Jeremiah Attaochu at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Even if it isn't Simmons that gets the defensive line back on track, riding the hot hand is a smart move for Ted Roof and defensive line coach Mike Pelton because so few players have cemented themselves as solid and reliable starters.
