Film Breakdown of Redskins Hopeful Signing, Aqib Talib - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2013/3/14/4105916/film-breakdown-of-redskins-latest-signing-aqib-talib)

The X factor in a Talib signing and on/off field performance is our HC. Love him or hate him players tend to shape up and perform for Mike or they get the axe, similar to what you see with Belichick. My thing is, why doesn't Belichick want Talib anymore? They've got cap room to spare, yes? What's the story there?

Who says Belichick doesnt want him? BB has different negotiating tactics than most people. He has Tom Brady, he will pay whatever it takes for that. The rest of them, hes expecting a discount in exchange for a possible SB trip each year.

He said goodbye to Welker and grabbed Amendola on what seemed to be negotiating principle alone. Not only did he offer Amendola more money per year, he already had the deal negotiated prior to his latest contract offer to Welker. I assume Welker/Amendola was a "shot across the bow" to his own players not named Tom Brady to take what he offers or play elsewhere.

I understand the age difference between the two. But there is also the continuity and injury difference between the two. If he was that worried about age, BB could have found another Amendola in the next couple of years. So dropping Welker now when he would accept a two year deal was about something else than Welkers money.

Oh don't worry you'll get your wish. Unless your going for reverse psychology here.

no seriously. i dont want Talib hes not a fit here.

@AdamSchefter ... When all is said and done, whenever that is, I believe he (Talib) returns to New England.

Belichick never likes players who negotiate with other teams. Wouldn't be surprised IF skins sign Talib it's because Belichick get impatient & walks away from the table to persue another DB.

Any cornerback Belichick does not want, is one I would go for. Man cannot scout a corner to save his life.

I'm not particularly excited about the idea, but if Raheem Morris, Haslett, Shanahan and Allen are all on board, i'll defer to their judgement. Has and Morris wouldnt consider bringing anyone in with a checkered past unless they were confident he'd work in their system. I we were to make a "big" move, i'd want it to be for Winston. Hes turning 30 this year, but he seems like a perfect fit for our scheme.

Yeah I'm gonna say if we want him, he will fit.

Morris knows him well.

It would be nice to hear about Fred and/or Talib today. HTTR24_7 said that he thought some restructures would happen, which certainly would seem to be clearing the way for some signing.
