Talib Blindsided But OK

November 9th, 2009

Clobbered without warning to the side of the head, the unsuspecting victim was stunned and writhing in agony.

No, these words were not taken from Aqib Talib’s most recent police report. But they could be used to describe the aftermath of Donald Driver’s tackle of Talib during his third-quarter interception return against the Packers.

Talib emerged from a swarm of Bucs defenders on the goal line with the pick, his fifth of the season.

With his eyes focused downfield during the return, Talib apparently didn’t see the cab Driver, who came up and leveled Talib with a high hit that cleared out his legs.

Joe was flushed with irony.

“I’m good; just got the wind knocked out of me,” Talib told Greg Auman, of the St. Pete Times. “He asked me if I was all right.”

Talib no doubt slept well following the game, unless he was tossing and turning thinking about his arraingnment this morning at the Pinellas County courthouse.
