Justin Zimmer...unsung defensive hero?

How underrated is Justin Zimmer? From the peanut punch against Newton to being down in the endzone with Tre  and Taron to being a disruptive force against the Ravens run d, this guy does it all. Another diamond in the rough find by our GM of the year? What do you think?

I think he’s a jag. Just shows how weak our d-line is this year.

 

 

I'd put him a level above that. Certainly not a star or a guy likely to make the big bucks, but a guy who's performed pretty solidly at his role. It's not always so easy to find one.

But the “peanut punch” ( never heard this expression in the Southern Hemisphere before BTW) and the running down the field with Taron??

 

What more could you want from a DT?

Not that it means anything, but Madden has Zimmer rated the second best pass rushing DT on the team behind Ed Oliver.

eh i mean he’s been okay. Not sure he’s underrated. For a guy that averaged around 30% of defensive snaps this season (a depth guy) he’s been more than expected I suppose. 
 

Unsung hero? Lol no man what are you watching?

He is one of my new favorites :)

 

I watch for 61 to see if he is out there.

 

Kind of like the Bills new   Meatball Junior.

 

I loved #95 and wish he was on the team to enjoy this :)

He’s like a poor mans Kyle Williams. 
 

he may not have the leadership skills or talent of meatball, but he does have a similar never-give-up motor

 

I posted mine before I read all the responses...I call him Meatball Jr...my GF just laughs she knows #95 is one of my all time Faves :)
