Comments on: Falcons place franchise tag on Brent Grimes http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/02/falcons-place-franchise-tag-on-brent-grimes/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 01:00:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: squealerweasel http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/02/falcons-place-franchise-tag-on-brent-grimes/#comment-1603807 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:02:30 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=330007#comment-1603807 In a nutshell…He’s a good man/man corner if he’s not up against a big wr, but if the Falcons can’t apply more pressure with 4 man rushes, then it really doesn’t matter who you have back there covering…because you’re gonna have to bring an extra rusher which will means man/man matchups, and Grimes matched up against bigger wr’s is not favorable, he plays best when he can sit in the zone and drive with an excellent trigger for the QB’s delivery key. The Falcons must find more pressure without vacating zones or man coverage because they don’t have the LB’s or Safeties to sustain coverage, and the other corner(D. Robinson) is average at best in man/man.

Either way, he’s the best DB we’ve had since Neon Deion. Period.

As a guy who is alumni from Shippensburg University & was there when we had John Kuhn & Grimes at the same time..Grimes is a below average option at DB! We used to call him ‘well done’ cause he was always getting burnt! He has excellent make up speed, but that doesn’t help when ur getting burnt by receivers that are taller & faster than you. BAD MOVE FALCONS

Grimes is maybe 5′ 9″ and basically shut down Calvin Johnson. Also, he has haunted D. Brees with incredible jumping interceptions. He battled a knee injury this season but before that he was amazing. There isn’t a team in the league who wouldn’t want Grimes. He is better than anyone in Philly or Green Bay. Asomaugh was torched all season long and GB had one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Do u even watch football, igeorgiaboy?

He held his own against Megatron. He can leap with best of him. I wish we couldve signed him to a more cap friendly contract, rather than tag him. We need OL help and a DE desperately.

Can anybody go back and check the N.O film and or any game with an elite WR against Grimes? He gets burned out muscled and just about everything under the sun. Yes it appears to everyone he is a stand out DB but thats because he plays in a terrible secondary. Think of it like this, If Grimes were to play in Philly, GB or NY (Jets) would he a first or second option? I think not, so would you want to pay him like he is an elite DB? Just curious?

He plays his heart out but gets out matched by over sized receivers many times. IMO

Ha…have you even watched any of those games. Grimes was getting interceptions on Drew Brees left and right. Love the posters that comment but dont watch a shred of football.

Hey johnnyjagfan have fun with Mike Mularkey…you guys signed an offensive coordinator who scored ZERO points in his playoff game this year. LETS MAKE HIM OUR COACH…ahhhaaa

He also told me nearly an hour ago that Ray Rice and Dashon Goldson will be franchised today, so you should expect to get that news an hour or so.

2) Come to Philly Curtis Lofton.

Maybe the Birds don’t have another situation better suited for the tag, but that’s a big overpayment to a guy I watched get blown past by WRs 6 inches taller than him. His games vs. N.O. and G.B. were pathethic.
