He is nothing compared to puke athletes like Terrell Owens who blows 80 million bucks and claims he is broke THEN gets to play again albeit with another football league and also be in charge of the team as well but screws it up and once again is unemployed.

That,my friend is a loser.

Acquiring Talib was necessary. I truly believe that you cant win a Superbowl in todays league without successfully employing man coverages from time to time. Kyle Arrington and his marginal athleticism threatened our ability to play man coverage across the board. with Talib you get a corner who aggressively jams his reciever at the line and competitively plays the ball. he loses his share of battles but overall hes more competitive than any corner we have on the roster. Talib, McCourty and Dennard's progression could really turn things around for us. as for Kyle Arrington, I think we need to do whatever possible to keep him off the field. he flat out sucks this year.

Double TE

He received a grade of 79 from Scouts, Inc. for comparison purposes:

Tom Brady: 96
Gronk: 92
Wilfork:86
McCourty: 78

Revis: 94
Champ Bailey: 83
Charles Tillman: 79
Patrick Peterson: 81


Seems pretty good to me

If he's as good as Charles Tillman I'll be quite pleased.

I do love your Work, Sistah Patricia.

We just significantly improved four Positions.

And all eleven will benefit...as will we.

Yep, it is a domino situation if it works. Kind of a reverse Steve Martin in 2002. Not only does Talib potentially upgrade one position, he allows other players (Arrington specifically) to play to their strengths. Previously you had Arrington/Moore getting picked on as an every down CB...leading to a LB or S shading in their direction...resulting in more players needed in coverage...meaning fewer players rushing the passers...well we know how that story ends.

Dowling was starting to fill a role (physical coverage on quick slant routes) that was making a difference. If Talib can just continue that role, he allows Arrington to play in more zone situations and not be 2 steps behind receivers across the field. The key at this point is health. If this set of DBs is on the field during the playoffs and the front 7 stays relatively intact, this defense is plenty good enough to win 3-4 games in a row when it counts.

King misses the point of this trade completely.
I don't think any of us are expecting great. Revis is great!
What are are hoping for is simply an upgrade on what we have now. And given the current situation, this is almost a certainty.
And as Patchick so beautifully points out, and what makes me so excited about this deal, is that it ends up strengthening several positions at once, once the kid is cleared to play.
As a professional sports writer, I find it extraordinary that King can't see this.
He is just another lazy journalist.

C'mon give him the benefit of the doubt. The other 22 teams might have been NCAA div II
