There's really only 5 places to run

I'll be sure to tell my 14-year-olds this and send you the laugh track.

the Pack moved the ball very consistently by running right at Simon.

On at least six occasions in the FIRST HALF ALONE, Simon/Walker tied up three linemen only to have Mark Simoneau miss the tackle. And a big reason the Pack had success to the right is that Bobby Taylor doesn't tackle ANYONE. Simon's MAIN responsibility ends, one way or another, shortly after the snap on a conventional running play. Whether the gain is 5 yards or 50 has little to do with him.

it's called "my football book".

Got other places to run?

What you mnean is that on at least six occasions Simon got knocked off the play so completely that the runner was past the line of scrimage before anybody got a chance to hit him and because the runner had speed and room to move he managed to evade tackle by the linebacker.

Interesting, before according to you the Pack didn't have success running to the right. Now you've changed your tune and admitted they had success to the right but it's because every but Simon over there sucks. As a defensive tackle Simon's responsibility doesn't end until the ball passes the line of scrimage either in the air or on foot, until that moment he is supposed to plug holes and hit ball carriers, which he didn't do very well last week.

If that book is where you got all your football knowledge it should be converted to TP.
