Aqib Talib: The Problem Child
7 replies
As some of us know, Bucs first round pick Aqib Talib got in a fight with a teammate at the rookie symposium. Apparently that's not the only trouble he has gotten into.
Before training camp, Talib had been late for meetings.
He missed the flight to Canton, when the team’s rookies visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
His position coach, Raheem Morris, admits that Talib is a “wild child.”
Due to his various actions, Talib already has been fined “heavily and repeatedly” for violating team rules.
“We’ve handled it in a stern way,” coach Jon Gruden said. “Some of the mistakes the guy makes are innocent mistakes. They’re not malicious. But all I think that has happened to him is his eyes are wide open now. He understands when he’s not here, he’s a letdown to Derrick Brooks. You’re letting down all these Bucs fans. We’re going to back up our end. We’re going to pay you well, OK? You’ve got to earn that money now or I’ll take it all back.”

phinfanukNew MemberI can't say I'd be disappointed if the Bucs got lumbered with the new pacman. Not exactly my favourite team.

Skeet84New MemberThis guy is absolutly nothing like pacman jones. I live in Tampa and hear about him all the time. He is just lazy and most of his problems come from sleeping in the morning. Its totally unfair to label him as the new pacman

There was a guy on FH that was pining for him and had nick-named him Aqua Tail if we drafted him. When he was ridiculed for that nick-name he got nasty and called everyone homophobes.
he's more in line with ricky williams than pacman(other than the fighting). hasn't this kid failed a couple drug screens in college? i imagine it will only be a matter of time before he fails one for the nfl. hopefully he turns himself around because he does have some talent.

Pacman got a guy paralyzed. No way he's at that level.
