Looks like he's healing pretty well... especially on that back-flip.

On a side note, a pit of sand for training? Awesome. Didn't know the Falcons had that. Wonder some of the ways it is utilized?

meh, prefer it if he did his thing somewhere else next season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't "back-flipping" into
sand make for a good possibility of injury/re-injury?

yeah, but it is sooooooo impressive!!!! obviously anyone that can back flip off of a 3 foot wall is ready to play corner at an elite level. What is more impressive though is that Grimes was able to climb to the top of the wall without a ladder.

Maybe its to re-injure Grimes so that we don't have to spend time talking with his agent after he shafted us $10M.

Who's Brett Grimes?

J/K - Sorry I had to just do it.

personally i think Grimes should be reasonable he got paid to do JACKS$%^ last year.....I know injury blah blah....but he wanted the falcons to sign him to a huge deal and he just wanted to much.....

I like the guy's play...I didn't like it when he played hurt towards the end of last season because he didn't want to injure himself going into free agency.....

I am sick and tired of money grubbers.....I am sure Dimitroff and Mr. Blank are willing to pay reasonable contracts.....but I think these guys should show some damn loyalty....we are so close....take a reasonable contract with escalators for superior play....if they perform it will hurt us later.....by making us have to sacrifice something, but my bet is paying for that performance would be worth it!

Get a decent contract put some money away....win a FUCKING superbowl......and be happy!

Grimes will sign with the highest bidder.

The Falcons need to rationally assess the risk/benefits and make their sincere offer.

If he ends up here, great. If not, great.

Sorry, but that is Pollyanna thinking. There is no loyalty in the NFL by player or team. It is a business first and foremost. The player is out to get the most they can in a very short career and I can't blame them. The teams show no loyalty either as was demonstrated by the recent cuts of Turner, Robinson and Abraham.
