True, in today's NFL game more and more teams are using TE's to spread the field. Many teams combat that with a "Big Nickel" package, Giants use this as do many other teams. Big Nickel is a three Safety package, Simon is a CB in a Safety body. A team is gonna take a shot with him, its just the way the NFL works. Belichick and the Patriots' Hybrid 12 personnel package (one running back, two tight ends, two wide receivers) is one that looks for match-up problems. NFL teams are Equal Opportunity Employers, Simon will get a chance, what he does with it, is his choice.
