Rev_Hal Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What was a bigger problem yesterday - Brooking or Grimes?It was Grimes, and he was horrible. Other than Decoud, the secondary played a pretty bad game.But forget about a former player trash talking. That is the most insignificant thing we have to discuss. Brent Grimes is not a starting quality DB in the NFL. I know we have virtually no other options, but we are in serious trouble if Grimes plays the rest of this season the way he played yesterday.Have there been any reports on the progress of Owens? Is he close to getting any significant playing time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev_Hal Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 TYE HILL MIGHT GET IT GOINGAfter 7 weeks, he has hardly gotten on the fieldm if at all. Any news on him either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ahhh Grimes....Yesterday was the perfect example why I have been terrified with him being on the field as a starting corner.But honestly.... I kind of expected that from Grimes... it wasn't a suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tax-Falcon Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Was Grimes "covering" Austin on that long bomb for a touchdown? [i didn't see the game, I listened to it.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremedarius Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The corner play has been suspect. The loss of Brian Williams really hurt us and will haunt us for the rest of the season. Hill has to get a shot because Grimes is not getting the job done. Sorry, he is not a starting CB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacksburgHokie Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't think anyone in the secondary played particularly well yesterday. Hard for me to single out one person who played so much worse than everyone else that they deserve to be called out though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_Hal Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Was Grimes "covering" Austin on that long bomb for a touchdown? [i didn't see the game, I listened to it.]THat was Decoud, but Audit found a seam in the zone coverage. Coleman (I think) jumped on the underneath route and Ausit was left open. If he gets the ball in open field, he is dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What is there to really talk about?? He freaking sucks! We all knew it. The reason I try not too talk about it is the more I think about it the more I would like too choke him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has to line up. Maybe that question should go to TD since he didn't address that position in the last 2 drafts and did little in free agency to address it.

One more so than the other.The lesser is that he is a terrible man cover corner. He plays like the receiver is going to run by him on every play.The second is that he is a terrible tackler. He will not wrap up. Every time he tries and make a tackle he just tries to use his shoulder. Someone needs to tell him that he is 5'9" and a buck 90 and isnt going to tackle anyone like that.I totally believe that the only reason that Grimes and Houston are starting is because we are so shallow at CB. This has to be addressed in the offseason. We are getting killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriouslt hope that Hill or Owens can step up and make a difference.Does Chevis Jackson even exist anymore? If he does, he is invisble.

schwarzenegger321 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Houston is okay, but he has to get help deep because of his inability to locate the ball. He would make an okay #2 IF we had a really good #1, but because we don't have a #1 corner it makes Houston look that much weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynomiteD Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 it is time to try out owens and hill. I dont know what they are waiting for, it is impossible for them to do any worse than grimy. Are they worried about ruining owens confidence or what. TD was so high on this guy so lets get him out there and see what he can do.

TD was so high on this guy so lets get him out there and see what he can do.Well, if the coaches are watching them in practice ans see that they are not ready to start, then I support that. I just want one of them to step up and take chance of a career changing opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just runs into them with his arms tucked or dives at their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
