Agreed, as bad as Simmons has been Downing has only been slightly better.If any of you can rewind, go back to Norton's last run. There was a massive hole that he did get to BUT Downing doesn't sustain his block and it goes from a possible TD to a 3-4 yard gain.
It's little things like that that make our offense so bad. The entire O-line is so bad fundamentally there isn't much we can do sometimes.
