I really like Grimm, and still hope he somehow finds a way on this team. I don’t, however, think that’s going to happen. If you think about it, that’s probably a good thing. Anytime you cut guys that will make other teams, that means you have talent. Fact is, leg injuries are really bad for skill position guys. Being slowed down by a half a step can be the difference between interception a pass and getting burned for a TD. It can be the difference between stopping a guy for a loss, or letting him bust one for a TD. I can’t say how he looks since I obviously haven’t seen him play, but if he can’t play like how he did as a rookie, then he’s probably got to go. Sad but true.

I liked Grimm in the beginning. He played with out fear and proper fundamentals. He had sound open field tackling down to a science. Last year after coming back from his first leg injury I didn’t see the same player. He seemed much more timid when it came to running in and tackling. Now he has 2 horrific injuries (one on each leg), I just don’t see him making a come back.

He lost the one thing that made him special and able to be a starter in the NFL. The “have no fear” attitude. He doesn’t have the same athleticism as the other safeties or the game changing capabilities.

I wish him well and hope he ends up making a comeback at some point. I just don’t know if he has what it takes to keep up with the others for now!

I can see a rotation of Barron, Black, and Tandy in the future being one of the better tandems in the league.

Who knows if Barber will come back next year so we do have to keep an extra player at that position. To be honest who knows how long into the season he will last this year. For now he is teaching Barron everything he can while he can, which is something i admire about keeping him on the team. The talks alone will greatly help Barron and others in their future success.

Back to the subject, I know Asante is running with the second team for now. Which personally i really like. He has been a hard worker every time I see him and i am truly rooting for his success.

Tandy, Black, and Barron are special players in their own rights. I really hope they play to their potential the Safety position will be very strong on our team.

I was pretty sure he got a start or two last year. If not, he sure got the majority of snaps.

GurS , it may be that Asante started the finale in 2010 at N.O.. Anyone recall?? He had a nice pick in that game IIRC.

It’s not like the Schiano regime has any sort of patience or sympathy for the players on the roster who have had injuries in the past. Grimm has great fight to him and the fans like him, but as we have seen this offseason, that will probably not be enough to keep him on the roster. That being said, there is a lot of raw unproven talent at safety, and it’s gonna be exciting to see how players like Tandy and Black develop as the preseason continues.

Cody Grimm should end up in Arizona on a team that could use a little more depth at Safety, with Big Papa Grimm.

Grimm has made zero plays in camp and is running with the third team. That tells you everything you need to know about the situation. Unfortunately we’re now stocked with several safeties that are an upgrade to him. He flourished when our safeties sucked but that’s in the past now. Good luck with your next opportunity, Cody…it was nice while it lasted.

If the Bucs let go of Grimm and he stays healthy, it would be a horrible move.

Technically, didn’t Asante have a start in late 2000 after Grimm got injured? I know it was a rotation of Lynch, Asante and occasionally Barber there, with Lynch getting most of the starts, but didn’t Asante get one start?
