I think our DL is OK. The problem is the LB's and CB's (Jones is the only piece to build on back there). We desperately need a good MLB (probably should target one for 1st pick in the draft) and also a lot of CB help (time to part with Grimes.. will also save on cap space).
Grimes has really regressed this season, which is a devastating blow to our squad out there. He honestly made the difference tonight.
Grimes has been worthless pretty much all season. I don't think I can remember loving a player and then hating him as much as I do now. OV has like 5 personal fouls this year. **** that guy, I hope we don't even make an offer to keep him.
Smell ya later, Brent. And Miko. It will be nice not having her associated with this football team anymore.
This is what happens when you don't have an actual #1 CB. Marshall two weeks ago and Beckham last night beat us almost single-handedly. We just had no answer for premier WRs. Meanwhile 27 year-old Vontae Davis held Allen Robinson to one catch on Sunday. Idiots... On another note I still can't believe Beckham caught that Eli duck as he was going out of bounds in the endzone. The dude is sick. We just made his life so much easier as he's cruising past Grimes whenever he wants with seemingly little effort.
Agree 100% Grimes either has 8 yard cushion on coverage or slips when needed the most. He drops a momentum killing INT in Jacksonville. Gets raked over the coals by every good receiver he faces. And just was the main reason Eli manning had his best passing performance in his career in his 11th ****ing season. He's a joke. Cut his midget *** and get his disgusting wife off our team.

This game was a pretty good example of why I think people talk too much about grabbing a QB in the upcoming draft and too little about adding real talent where the Fins need it. I'd love to see this team add an elite CB LB or edge rusher. The defense just doesn't have the bodies right now.
That shouldn't have been a penalty on Vernon...the commentators even made a point to say he only took one step and then tried to hold Manning up. Horrible, horrible call. However, the roughing penalty on our rookie was plain ridiculous (it's early, his name is not coming to me yet). He took...what...six steps and still nailed Manning? No excuse for that. Phillips maybe? I need my coffee so the brain will start turning.
Letting go of Vontae was such a huge mistake. I don't think I've ever seen a corner regress as much as Grimes has from last year to this year, he's completely worthless now and Anarumo is no help at all, very disappointed in the secondary. I think we really need to resign both OV and Shelby. If we can do that and add a true Mike this front 7 will be fine next year, especially if Wake restructures. This secondary needs a complete overhaul this offseason like Philly did last year, maybe we can even steal Thurmond from them since he's on a 1 year deal and Cox is about to get paid out the a**.
Yeah too many times this year we have had WRs just run wild and free on us. If they didn't have endzones Sammy Watkins would still be running. My buddy is a Broncos fan and he texted me this morning and said Grimes is terrible, he's the reason you lost. I agree.
Grimes was horrible, and so was Michael Thomas, he's got to be one of the worst FS in the league. In fact the whole secondary was a complete disaster last night. I don't think Anarumo knows what he's doing out there, this coaching staff is an abomination. I like Campbell and his run first mentality, it's sad he's probably a better H.C right now than queasy Joe who should have been canned 2 years ago with Ireland. Having said that I think we really need a guy like Sean Payton, Mike Shula, or Hue Jackson. Would love to keep Campbell on the staff, but I don't trust him enough to be H.C and find quality coordinators which we desperately need.
They should have doubled him all over the field, not just on Grimes ...Odell does it to 90% of the DB's. Some of this is on the game plan and coaching.
Age has just caught up with Grimes this year. All it is. He doesn't have the speed to keep up with fast receivers any longer and has really been getting torched most of the year. Hating him is a little ridiculous. That said outside of the Dline and Jones there is little on the defense worth keeping. I was worried about the lb's going into the season and they have in fact been a weak link. None of them can really cover a TE.
The only people that don't deserve to hang their heads in shame are: - Miller - Tannehill - Suh - Dar - Franks Everyone else from players to coaches owe those 5 an apology. I saw what I almost always see....the offense clicking when the opposing defense has to stay guessing. The second we go one dimensional (whether because we have to or because we're just stupid) the opposing defense can just tee off on our oline. This game is further proof, what a few of us have been saying (and subsequently getting blasted for): - W/L record is a team stat - Our oline sucks especially when we abandon the run - Our OC sucks for abandoning the run - Tannehill needs to audible
Yea his 2 big catches were in single coverage and then a busted zone. How could we not even consider jamming him at the line with safety help over the top? F****** Anarumo. Cant give players like that a free release at the line and still somehow not emphasis stopping the deep pass smfh.
