Simon the Frog is quite a peculiar cornerback. Sitting at the DSFL TPE cap of 250TPE, in paper it seems like that he should be locking down any receivers that comes his way. Well, that's both true and false. Simon would often absolutely lock down capped receivers from opposing teams-sometimes multiple capped receivers- not allowing a single catch of over 20 yards and recording multiple passes defended. on the other hand, he would struggle against clearly inferior receivers, who are sometimes barely over 100TPE. The latter case was what happened in a game against the Portland Pythons. Simon struggled mightily against the team's two mid- 100TPE receivers, allowing a long play of 20 or more yards in basically every other pass that was targeted at the guy he was guarding. This sudden bad outing contributed greatly in Bondi Beach losing that game to the Pythons. However, Simon managed to get his revenge on Portland in the next game, as he got 2 interceptions out of them. (166)
