Marcus started the game with an 80-yard kickoff return. Had he gotten one more block, he would have returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Simms followed that return with a 4-catch, 91 yards, 2 touchdown performance at receiver.

We talked about Simms speed and through the last two games, despite the opponents, its quite apparent to see the dimension he adds to the team. The need needs someone with both straightline burner speed and the quicks and cuts to get in, out, and around defenders. Simms is also showing that rare vision on kickoffs. He is able to see a hole before and as it develops, not waiting for it to show itself then being too late as it closes.
