NEW ENGLAND SPORTS RADIO

[Haymakers]

Talk radio is going crazy up here about Talib! Its so funny to hear bucs talk up here but everyone up here is saying both teams made a great move. They keep reviewing his criminal record over and over and torturing him on it. It is definitely an upgrade for the pats but the fans dont want this guy long term. There is a show that is on everyday called the whiner line and all the calls are about Talib's mom being charged with him as well as aderoll jokes. This guy isnt gonna survive up here in a Boston market, so I wouldnt be surprised if he is forced to clean up his act up here or he will be gone. Just figured I would let everyone know whats going on up here. Go Bucs

What station? We can listen online.

Interesting lol. I was just telling my Patriot fan friends about him and what to expect.   

[Haymakers]

WEEI.COM  its out of Boston.   103.7 in Rhode Island.    They keep going between that and Celtics/Sox talk but all morning it has been Talib and the pats secondary

[Haymakers]

It is also funny because it seems as if the fans up here and the Patriots organization speaks very highly of Schiano. It is probably the Rutgers-Pats relationship

I too am in New England. They have had non-stop coverage on NESN/Comcast regarding Talib. It is funny how much attention a guy like that gets when he moves to a team like the Pats.

From my experiences, norther taxi drivers are slightly less pushovers. I hope he doesn't punch the wrong guy one night.

I think it is a good trade for both teams.  NE will get a fourth rounder back on day one of the draft from somebody (because that's what Belli does) and Bucs got something in return for a guy they were going to let walk in a couple months.

NE is a good spot for Talib, good structure, have leaders.

But I am still glad he is gone, and that 4th could be huge next april. Dom may want to move up again.

My Pats buddy was checking to see if they played ATL so he could see the "good" Talib.

agree.  i would have loved to keep him, but if he still cant be trusted...and still is not consistenly playing at a high level...

Who, on the defensive side of the ball, is gonna keep Talib in check?

Doesn't necessarily have to be a player....Belicheck strikes me as a guy who would say....ok Talib, you have a clean slate now, one screw-up and your gone.

I'm sure that conversation will be had.....but your post mentioned good structure and leaders. The Vrabels, Bruschis, and Harrisons are gone and i'm wondering who has filled those spots?

Well I don't know the roster all that well, but Brady is there.  And IIRC Pepper Johnson coaches up there. Brandon Spikes is there also, I know that because he was a Florida guy.  And overall they have a lot more tenured guys than the Bucs. Bucs are still young, waiting for leaders to emerge.  Perhaps Foster, Barron, or maybe Gerald or Bowers?  We will see.
