CB – Brent Grimes

The ageless wonder himself makes the list this week. Why? If anyone is going to be covering Odell Beckham, it is going to be Grimes.

Grimes, who sat last week with a minor injury is expected to be back in the line up for the starting defense this week. Going up against Beckham will be no easy task, but expect Grimes to show his veteran savy abilities to lock down Beckham in this week four match-up.

Beckham, who was limited early on in this season due to injury should be back to full speed which makes this match-up one of the better things to watch during Sunday’s game.

Buc fans saw during Minnesota game just what this defense can be like without a corner such as Brent Grimes on the field. The Bucs had to throw young corner Ryan Smith onto the field for his first real NFL experience, and it was one to forget.

Although no matter what corners are on the field, without any pass rush… they are all sitting ducks.

Can Eli Manning, who is currently 3-0 versus the Bucs, make another tally in the win column or can the Bucs thin defense take advantage of a 0-3 team.
