Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Tampa’s cornerback situation is ripe for exploiting heading into Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons should be able to throw all over Tampa Bay. That would be true if the Falcons were not at full strength and Tampa Bay was, but because the situation is quite nearly the opposite, this one has the potential to look utterly outlandish.

As of the moment, Tampa Bay’s top cornerbacks are Brent Grimes (who is allowing opposing quarterbacks a perfect passer rating), Carlton Davis (who is hurt), and unproven options in Ryan Smith and M.J. Stewart. Nominal fifth cornerback Marcus Williams is also hurt.
