The Facts:
During a recent two-day visit, Rich Gannon encouraged Simms to make better use of his athleticism, and Simms is ready to take up Gannon on the idea. "He said that I should think about running for first downs more when it's third-and-3, third-and-4 and third-and-5, and that's something I think I'm going to try to do," Simms said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The increased risk for injury is the primary reason coaches tend to cringe when quarterbacks decide to run. But Jon Gruden may actually welcome such a decision by Simms. Gruden has long bemoaned the fact that the Bucs get little or no rushing yards from their quarterbacks. A year ago, for instance, the Bucs got just 43 rushing yards from Simms and Brian Griese.
