CURRAN: Talib 'Should' be ready for San Francisco

[Bhelmet]

What the hell happened with arrington? He goes from probably the worst cb I have ever seen to me sitting here a month later worrying about if he's injured.

He's pulling a Nink - who was horrible in the 1st quarter of the season - and then BAM! Took him a little longer, but now that he is back in the slot - he is playing some good ball.

The Pats had control of the game. If that wasn't the case, I'm sure all three might have gone back on the field. There was no need at that point.

Agreed. If this was Hou V NE in the AFCC game, I'd bet Talib and Dennard would have played through their injuries.

VERY GOOD NEWS!

If we can keep a healthy secondary of Talib, Dennard, Arrington, McCourty, and Gregory, we are in really good shape for the rest of the season.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

I love the Talib and Dennard in your face type press CB's. It reminds me of the old days.

Considering how poorly the secondary played for so many games..... then we finally get some cohesive competitive play back there, it would be too cruel for it to last only a couple of games. Talib and Dennard will be ok

He also showed it when he took on that cop.

Ya, and you don't know what that cop did to him either. If you are unaware of the harassment issue then you would be fooled into thinking that he's automatically guilty of something.

Cops kill somebody every day in America with tasers and never look back. A cop was recorded punching a handcuffed woman in the face last week. Cops can be criminals and do a lot of nasty assed things to people, especially people of color. That ain't a theory.

Hopefully he'll be 100%! I'm excited for this game!

He's being used in the right role.

Excellent. I hope he stays healthy throughout the rest of the season because he is a very significant addition to the defense. He impressed me a lot in his one on one matchup against Johnson, and I think his presence gives the secondary confidence, enough so that we can send extra rushers. Perfect.

arrington in nickle = good things...hopefully talib it's fine but if he can;t go vs san fran..not worried. Their WRs aren't exactly (scary)

A) he matches up better in the slot than on the outside
B) he'll naturally look better matching up against #3 WRs instead of #2s

His play has improved, probably as a function of comfort and confidence, and that's where the comfort and confidence are probably coming from.

Remember...BB is still a decipel of Parcells...look at my sig and understand that his philosophy is to get better in the regular season.... for the tournament...They always seem to get better as the season progresses
