Brent Grimes Returns To Practice
May 31st, 2017
Perhaps one of the goofiest moves by NFL teams is limiting media coverage of spring practices, aka OTAs.
Here’s the logic: If you’re going to invite media in to some sessions but not all, then the media definitely will get an inaccurate perception of what’s happening — and then pass that on to fans. If the point is to keep the media engaged and educated — and sharing with tens of thousands of diehard fans — then just open all the practices. It’s a no-brainer.
Without seeing all the underwear football work, Joe and others lose a ton of perspective.
That written, the Bucs practiced yesterday and Joe has little to share and little news has leaked out. However, stud veteran cornerback Brent Grimes, who skipped earlier OTA practices, was seen in Tuesday’s highlights on Buccaneers.com. It’s right here. Grimes looks intense in a drill and appears to be displaying his cat-like quickness.
So there’s something. And it was damn exciting to see.
The next Bucs practice open to media is tomorrow at One Buc Palace.

I think Grimes is one of our more unappreciated players. The dude has some serious hops.

I can assure you Miko was keeping him active during their anniversary celebrations. And I’m not talking about the tennis court, Irv.

@BuccaneerByBirth Ohhh I get you. But what does him jumping over the couch have anything to do with their anniversary?

Two is a number. He probably has about two or three years before retiring… his last year, whenever that will be, won’t be a good one…. I just hope he can play at a high level THIS year.

Very surprised they haven’t added anybody worth mentioning at CAB this off-season. My thought is they must like the guys they have returning that us fans haven’t seen much.
Look at last year and they had Veerner who has seen better days as a starter but he was able to come onto the field and play solid for us. He actually made a few key plays for us in a few wins. Hargreaves a d Grimes will hold their own and I hope we have another corner who can come in and compliment them.

NFL teams need less media coverage than the media think. They don’t much care if the media passes on half-information, because that’s the best the media can do anyway. It’s a no-brainer.

BBB, with all their money I’m sure Brent and Miko can pay a night watchman to let them do whatever they want at midnight on the tennis court.

Grimes is starting to look like another feather in Licht’s hat.
At this rate Licht is starting to look like a pimp with all those feathers.
Go Bucs!
HAIL GRUDEN!
Speak softy…..AND CARRY A BIG STICK!!
(Howard is fired up because the Bucs reek of “win” for the first time since 2003)

Chris Conte looks like he’s moving in slow motion compared to our other DBs

Brent Grimes was the best FA signing last year by Jason Licht. PFF ranked Grimes 5th overall in pass coverage and 4th overall in total score. Only Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib and A.J. Bouye ranked higher.
