The more Aquib Talib runs his piehole the more I love Darrelle Revis. Belichick had the balls to not go over what he determined Talib's real value to be and somehow managed to replace a guy who only plays in the regular season with the best defensive back of his era, one who actually deserves what he is getting paid. And i can honestly say that if Revis suffers a bruise in next year's play-offs he will find a way to play through it.
This is also how I feel. Warranted or not my opinion of Talib is influenced by him leaving in two afc championships games with the scores very close. No I don't know the extent of his injuries and probably never will. What I do know is neither injury required surgery unlike Gronk breaking his forearm. Same for R. Harrison.It just screams something along the lines of "if you can't take the heat, get out of the oven." He got out which speaks unreliable in the heat of the moment where championships are on the line. Hell, I went to work with a partially torn bicep tendon and labrum for 10 months climbing poles and cell phone towers before opting for surgery and this guy couldn't go another 45 minutes. Again, I don't know the extent, maybe he couldn't even walk so my opinion may be way off. Don't matter anymore, we have the best in the business and like Ivans sentiments I think Revis will do anything to win a championship and even at 60% he is still better than 80% of cbs and would find a way to work through a bruise in the biggest game of his career.
