Talib or not Talib
Apr 24, 2008 2008 Draft, Bad Idea Jeans, I hope, Overrated
I’m just gonna throw this out there so that it is preserved for Saturday: There is no chance in hell that the Texans take Aqib Talib. The dude had THREE marijuana test failures (including one he claims was not a big deal because he admitted before he took the test that he was going to fail it!), has a reputation for being a cocky dickhead, AND his form as a cover corner (most notably in the hips) is flawed.
No way, no how; if the other three corners are off the board when 18 rolls around, we’ll go another direction.
So there.

ya know… Randy Moss was a pot-smokin’ cocky dickhead, too. Okay, he still is.
just sayin’.

“including one he claims was not a big deal because he admitted before he took the test that he was going to fail it!”

Whoa, that works? Sweet. If I ever lose a job because of a failed drug test, I’ll just tell my boss that I ‘called my shot’.

I don’t think I’d ever label Charles Rogers as a “cocky dickhead”… just lazy.
Lawrence Phillips - I always just thought of him as a girlfriend-beater, never a pothead.
Of course, Ricky Williams was a badass, and that dude was the NFL’s poster child for weed.

As a Michigan fan, I can attest that Rogers was indeed a cocky assfuck during his college days.

Agreed, sir. Only the national guys have us taking Talib in mocks now. Us local hacks know better.

We *did* take ManChild after he admitted smoking out.

That said, ManChild is obviously bright and didn’t come with any other (known) additional baggage. Talib has all sorts of crap in his past.

Maybe when Al Davis passes on, Cheech & Chong will buy the Raiders and provide a loving environment for these druggies and misfits. Until then, it’s up to the Cowboys and Bungles.

If the Comedy Gods are smiling, he’ll fall to the 20th pick of the fourth round.

Talib is OTB: off the board.

@ 7.BFD: Yeah, we took Amobi, but his admission was “I did it once when I was a dumb kid and I regret doing it.” That’s what is known as the the RIGHT answer. Talib’s response was “who gives a damn if I failed that first test; I told y’all I was hittin’ the cheeba!”

I hope you guys are right about this jerk-off. These comments are almost as funny as the last Travis Johnson post. 24 more hours….it’s about fucking time.

Manningham, what the fuck happened to thou?
First, the Cheech and Chong answers to pot smoking and now a 6 on the Wonderlic? A mother fucking 6? I can only hope he reads DGDB&D and this is all a clever ruse to make me and Matt happy by forcing his way onto the Texan roster for nothing more than a 7th round pick.

How the hell do you score a 6 on the Wonderlic?
Even if you are high you should *easily* have scored better than a 6. And even if Spongebob was on TV to distract you.

@ Jersey Bill - I am a “young” 46. They probably peaked when I was in Jr. High School.
Wow, Wonderlic <10 = illiterate. That’s sad….
