check this out: http://www.packershome.com/forum/posts/t9598-Looking-Back---I-miss-Wayne-Simmons

i've been searching youtube for this hit, specifically and haven't had much luck:

"Buoyed by Holmgrens speech, Simmons made a difference that day in San Francisco. On the 49ers first offensive play of the game, Steve Young threw a screen pass to fullback Adam Walker, but Simmons saw it coming.

He drilled Walker with a vicious hit, jarring the ball loose. Packers rookie Craig Newsome picked up the ball and ran untouched 31 yards to the end zone. It was the first blow in what would become a 27-17 victory, a win that took the Packers to the NFC championship game for the first time since 1967."

Wow, I am at work so only read half of it so far, but that is a great article. I am a Packer fan and loved Wayne as both a Tiger and a Packer. Love the part of how mean he was, what a great player. Thanks for sharing, I will finish it later.
