Morris: Cody Grimm has become "Mr. Reliable" | tampabay.com & St. Petersburg Times
Cody Grimm is a very reliable and useful player, but like Sean Jones he lacks some range in pass coverage. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers pleased with Cody Grimm in Tanard Jackson's absence - St. Petersburg Times
Grimm has been a very pleasant surprise, but Tanard Jackson is a better player - when he's on the field.

Penn up for another tough task with Falcons DE John Abraham | tampabay.com & St. Petersburg Times
I thought Penn struggled mightily against Abraham last year. He gets a do-over on Sunday. 

Falcons' Abraham is next challenge for Bucs T Penn | TBO.com
Penn is facing a lot of good edge rushers this year. He started with Kyle Vanden Bosch, he moved on to Jared Allen, now he gets to face John Abraham and he'll face Dwight Freeney in week four.

That's not good, although it's over a very small sample size. Another consequence of the lockout?

If the game doesn't sell out by tomorrow afternoon, we'll have another blackout. 

Bucs S Tanard Jackson's future remains uncertain | TBO.com
I don't think it's that uncertain. Tanard Jackson has applied to be reinstated and likely will be. The Bucs will probably be granted a roster exemption while they evaluate him. And if he's in football shape, he will get a role on defense. He's too talented not to.
