Criminal Charges Dropped Against Bucs CB Aqib Talib

[Black]

After a season of futility, which witnessed an NFL worst 30.9 points surrendered per game, the secondary of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look different in 2012. Changes include the signing of cornerback Eric Wright, selection of 1st round pick Mark Barron, and shifting of veteran Ronde Barber to safety.

Yet, following the surprise dismissal of criminal charges in Texas on Monday, June 18, the new-look unit will likely feature familiar 5th year player Aqib Talib.

Durr, durrrrr, it's not a Bucs board.

I don't think many of us saw this coming. I guess we'll be dealing with him twice this year.

Wow i'm actually surprised.

Curious, is it still possible the NFL doles out a suspension to him?

Wouldn't surprise me if he received a punishment similar to Roethlisberger, maybe just four games though.

on paper that doesn't sound like a terrible secondary, though a rookie and ronde barber at safety has big offensive play written all over it

Damn it.

Smith "dealt with him" fairly well before, as I recall.

Not worried.

AT = scum

born in trouble, liked it, never got out

Still remember in 09 when Talib was trying to get after pep during the scrum right after the Dante wesley hit, Talib is a punk and a fake tough guy

When was this? Because Aqib got hurt the game we played them this year, and then he was put on IR. So he and Smitty only matched up for one play.

He's also the one who directly hit Clausen with his helmet AFTER the play was over.

yeah he stuck his head in a pile at the goal line and clocked him helmet to helmet.

what a tough guy.

Word was he was on the trading block, idk about now but Washington was very interested. Raheem Morris is now the DB coach in DC.

I don't think he is anymore, Schianco has been talking very highly of him.

it's only a matter of time till that guy gets suspended or arrested or both again.
