Criminal Charges Dropped Against Bucs CB Aqib Talib


Black

Recommended Posts

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.

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

Not worried.

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.

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

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

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.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
