Aqib Talib Traded To Pats

Ron Rivera would definitely keep Aqib Talib in control if we had him.

i'm ok with it. he's had smitty's number for a good while now. might be the difference maker when we play them again this year

Yeah, that was why... Smitty just couldn't ever seem to get the best of him.

Aqib Talib didn't fit what we were trying to do in Tampa. He beat up a fellow rookie early in his career, punched a cab driver and later resisted arrest, pistol whipped some other guy that caused a huge off-season distraction spanning many months and then mid-season, gets suspended for Adderral usage. He's not someone we can count. We plugged in a UDFA (Leonard Johnson) and he's already got more interceptions and pass defenses in two games than Talib had all year. I think Bill could turn Talib around, but for us, it was great value. We weren't going to resign him anyway.
