Sabby Should Stay On The Bench
September 23rd, 2010
When word began to circulate Wednesday of the news that Tanard Jackson’s season was done with a(nother) failed drug test, and speculation began that Sabby would start in his place, Bill Barnwell of FootballOutsiders.com was not overcome with warm and fuzzies.
It was FootballOutsiders.com that declared that Sabby had the most missed tackles (19) of any defensive player in the NFL last year, with a few tied for second with 15.
Twittering last night, Joe read that Barnwell suggested Raheem Morris find some way to keep Sabby off the field if the Bucs are to have success this year.
Sabby Piscitelli was probably one of my five worst regulars in the NFL last year. Bucs need to ensure he stays on the bench.
Barnwell went on to write that Sabby was in his sordid group along with C.C. Brown, Tyler Polumbus, JaMarcus Russell, and Daniel Coats.

Won’t happen, he would have already been shown the door if they intended him not to have him play something.
As soon as Lynch or Grimm get blown by a #2 or #3 WR then people will be moaning the other way.
So the Steeler game is going to be a blackout. But its not the economy its the product on the field! LOL!

He is back up material and a special teamer at this point. nothing to see here, move along, just move along…

Grimm surely doesn’t have the Sabby’s physical traits but sure has better football smarts and instincts.
Grimm should be the starter! Sabby is a garbage can.

I rest my case. Sabby is horrible. They kept him on the roster for special teams purposes. “As soon as Lynchn or Grimm get blown by a #2 or #3 WR…” That happened to freaking Sabby every game last year!!! Look at the tape!!! Start Grimm. If that doesn’t work out, start Lynch. If that doesn’t work out, then sign another safety or play with 10! ANYTHING but Sabby. He had a 16 game tryout last year and failed. I repeat, insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Starting him again would be insane!

Well they said the Grimm is starting so we get to see a rookie make his first start…well those at the game will get to see it I guess.
