Talib apologizes for incident: Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib apologized to teammates Thursday for a helmet-swinging incident that marred one of the club's voluntary offseason workouts. The second-year pro said he and offensive tackle Donald Penn "let our emotions get the best of us" during a closed practice Wednesday. Talib swung his helmet at Penn and struck cornerback Torrie Cox instead. Cox, who was acting as a peacemaker, was cut on the face and received stitches. "A small altercation that kind of got bigger than we wanted it to be," said Talib, a first-round draft pick in 2008 who also clashed with a teammate at the NFL rookie symposium last year. "I've definitely got to work on it," the 23-year-old said, adding he was relieved that Cox wasn't hurt worse. Coach Raheem Morris said the matter would be handled internally, though Talib said the entire team ran as punishment Thursday.

Talib has minimal Fantasy value in IDP leagues. Hopefully he can keep himself in order but ignore him on Draft Day.

CB Aqib Talib said he apologized to the team for his altercation with tackle Donald Penn. Torrie Cox, who was trying to play peacemaker, received stitches for a facial laceration Wednesday when he was inadvertently struck by Talib's helmet during practice. "It was a small altercation that kind of got bigger than we wanted it to get," Talib said. "Still, it's football. It's a competitive nature out there. Me and Donald, we let our emotions get the best of us and it just kind of got out of hand out there." Talib, who was involved in an altercation with rookie running back Cory Boyd at the NFL Rookie Symposium last year, says he needs to work on controlling his emotions. "I've definitely got to work on it," Talib said. "It's a family though. When you're out here with your brothers, I'm sure a lot of us have brothers and sisters. I mean, you fight. It comes with being a family. We're all brothers out here. Me and Donald, we're perfectly fine today. It's behind us. We're ready to work hard and move on." 52/1/2009

March 29, 2009: Buccaneers needs: Offseason of change brings new look

These will not be the Bucs of Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden, especially on defense, after a nearly total offseason purge. That leaves plenty of openings that can be filled in the draft, Clark Judge says.
