Aqib Talib Traded to the Patriots, as They Gamble on Suspended Corner to Help Leaky Secondary
Aqib Talib, the former first round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been traded to the New England Patriots, no compensation details announced. You can be sure that it is minimal, though, since Talib is currently serving part of a four game suspension, and is a free agent at year’s end.
The Patriots, for their part, show they are willing to take a chance on a character risk. . . at the right price. We saw it last year with Albert Haynesworth. The Patriots hope to hit it bigger here. The secondary has been surrendering some big pass plays in recent weeks, so it is a need if he can get on the field.

Obligatory anytime Albert Haynesworth is mentioned.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:34 PM
Dang, they could have traded for Joe McKnight and stuck him in the secondary.
Wait, you mean that plan didn’t work in New York?

Good for him, he’s out of that abortion of a franchise
November 1st, 2012 at 4:38 PM
Needed to make this move since Rasai-Dowling went down for the year.

Aqib means subsequent as in the sentence: Aqib’s aqib charges are hurting his free agency prospects.

They cut AFC Championship game hero Sterling Moore–he who knocked the go ahead TD pass out of Torrey Smith’s hands–in order to make room.
/pours one out for fellow SMU alum
November 1st, 2012 at 4:43 PM
It was Lee Evans that had the pass knocked out of his hands. That was a good heads up play, but Moore is not a good CB.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:45 PM
The Pats have had both bad decisions at corner and bad luck with injuries and it has compounded over the last 4-5 years. Few years ago two of their top 3 CBs went out in the preseason.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:45 PM
It’s an even bigger need if he can’t.
And re: Moore, if he played one more game he had no PS eligibility. Dunno if he’s claimed or not yet.

Steve Spurrier says Bama could beat the Bucs on any given Sunday.

Dammit, you’re right. Jim Nance got it wrong at first too.
He was great in college but yeah his skills translate into a nickle DB at best in the NFL.

sterling?
Malory: Ugh… it smells like a whorehouse in here.
Sterling Archer: Something something, your own fingers.
Malory: What?
Sterling Archer: Nothing… Johnny Bench called.

In 2010, 2011, and 2012 now.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this.”
“Try to think about something else…like how there’s no sink in there.”

Poor hyphenation.
Ras-I Dowling

Meh. He’s yet to earn that capital I as far as I’m concerned.
November 1st, 2012 at 5:11 PM
what’s liam neeson’s character from batman begins have to do with this?
lol @ no sink.
Sterling Archer: What? You’re black… ish.
Agent Lana Kane: Ish?
Sterling Archer: Well, what’s the word for it, Lana? You freaked out when I said ‘quadroon.’
Agent Lana Kane: Imagine that!
Sterling Archer: You imagine it!

Needed to make this move since Rasai-Dowling went down for the year.
In 2010, 2011, and 2012 now.
remember all that crowing you were doing a couple of years ago about trading their 3rd rounder for so the Panthers could waste a pick on Armanti Edwards? And you were all the time saying how great it was, and how stupid the Panthers were, because it ended up being the 33rd pick in the draft?
Well, Ras-I Dowling is the asshole they got. And so far, he’s not worth a good god damn. And I just remembered that, and am once again laughing at you about your patriot based arrogance from when you were a more arrogant commenter.
November 1st, 2012 at 5:24 PM
has nothing to do with this aside from both being CB’s, but brandon browner is a damn good CB.
November 1st, 2012 at 5:44 PM
+5 horsecollar and late hit penalties. Good job, pats

Have you even watched the Bucs play this year? 3-4 and looking good in each game, with all losses by 7 points or less. Josh Freeman has 14 tds to 5 picks with a 93.3 QB rating and Doug Martin just won NFL Rookie of the Month. You sound ignorant. And they have won a Super Bowl more recently than the Cowboys, Jets, Ravens, Falcons, Broncos, and many other “Good” organizations.
