Either this was stunt with Simmons/Gamble and Gamble didn't wrap around to the outside or Simmons freelanced on this play. Easy 1st down with back half in man coverage

I think Gamble was executing the twist stunt with St. Amour on the right side. It's Kallon that didn't wrap around on the left side with Simmons going inside. Simmons does a great job getting heat on the QB (he's alone in this regard), and if Kallon had been there to contain, it could've been a nice sack opportunity. That seems the most likely call, but can't be 100% sure.

Didn't realize that was Kallon. Just say the body types and assume that was Gamble, but yeah that has to be the call.

Shows how one guy can turn a probable 10 yd loss into a 10 yard gain by missing his assignment. Also, didn't need PJ blitzing inside late and getting caught in the trash.

Interesting D lineup. Gray is in the box with no coverage and no one blocks him (he plays this well until he over pursues and misses the tackle). Mitchell is in man coverage in the box on the slot receiver (and does get blocked in the back). Surely we have a better coverage plan for the slot receiver. Simmons most often makes his best pass rush with an inside move so I would expect PJ to blitz outside or make sure that DT loops outside. Notice how often Simmons gets good pressure inside chasing the passer outside, but we do a poor job of contain planning.

This coverage called 1 robber. Gray is hook/curl zone defender player and "robbing" any drag routes or in breaking routes of intermediate depth. The only mistake he made was sliding over quicker as the QB rolled out
Brant is covering the RB out the backfield. LBs will 99% of the time 3rd receiver to their side that just so happens to the RB

You are correct. Brant is covering the RB and not the slot. Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. This is the down side of man coverage when you lose containment and give the QB extra time: defenders wind up chasing receivers and lose sight of the path of the ball.

With their mobile QB I would have expected PJ to "spy" him more than delayed blitz inside.
The plus side to the tighter man coverage was there was nowhere to go with the ball. Granted, it's frustrating to give up the first down but I like the call. Be the hammer.

The more I focus on Simmons opportunities the more I like his game.
Should be and Freeman switch sides more and have
Simmons coming from the blind side more?

Whichever side Simmons is on there is a very good chance he makes a quick inside move applying pressure in the middle and forcing the QB outside. We need to have that contained with somebody. IMO, based on our past tendencies, if we blitz a LB we should often blitz outside on Simmon's side (or have Simmons rush outside and blitz the LB just inside Simmons.
Simmons is the guy that will apply the first pressure and we should combine him with our blitz plan..

Typically Simmons has to tailor his moves to fit the play call. Not the other way around. Otherwise the play can break down. I'm not saying he doesn't btw.
