Talib was awesome for us last year. He was on fire and possibly our best defensive player. He made huge plays for us in crucial moments and helped us win games...... for about 8 weeks.
That's where the problem arises. Talib has never been consistent. After the first 8 weeks or so, Talib's nagging injuries started coming around again and his presence was barely felt later in the year.
Then he left the AFCCG with a "deep bone bruise". Call it what you want to. Give it a fancy name. Make it sound worse than it really was. It was still just a bruise. NFL players have lost fingers and stayed in games much less important than the AFCCG. Players have played through torn ligaments. But Talib hobbled off and never came back in most important game of the year because of a bruise.
I always had a feeling, even when Pats were looking at re-signing him, that Talib is the type of guy who is going to regress after he gets paid. And he just got paid big time.
Plus if we face Denver in the playoffs, we know all we gotta do is run a WR into him and he'll most likely stay out of the game.
How do you guys think Talib will do this year?
