Talib suspended for the Chiefs game
It's in the other Talib thread, but this is obviously newsworthy since we play them this week.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14...-game-eye-poke Broncos CB Aqib Talib suspended 1 game for poking player in eye Jeff Legwold, ESPN Staff Writer ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib has been suspended for one game by the NFL for poking Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the right eye in the closing minutes of the Sunday's 27-24 loss. However, Talib, according to team sources, is appealing the suspension in the hopes of playing Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. If the suspension is upheld, Talib would lose one game check -- $323,529.41 on a $5.5 million base salary. "Talib was penalized for unnecessary roughness late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in Indianapolis for forcefully poking an opponent in the eye after the conclusion of a play," the league said in a statement explaining Talib's punishment. NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks "ruled that Talib's action placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided," according to the statement. "I sat with Aqib on the plane, coming home [Sunday] night,'' said Broncos coach Gary Kubiak on Monday. "I had a long talk with him. He's wrong, he needs to stay out of the situation. It hurt the team, he knows that. But by no means did he, I'm convinced, have intentions of poking anybody in the eye. That's where we're at. I'm come straight from meetings to you guys.'' Kubiak said Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway had been in contact with league officials Monday morning about the incident. "My understanding is that they were jawing at each other,'' Kubiak said Monday. "And he went to push him, which he shouldn't do anyway, it doesn't matter and obviously his hands are inside his facemask. But I'm convinced and after talking to Aqib that he had no intention of poking anybody in the eye.'' Talib was assessed two penalties that came four plays apart in the final 2 minutes, 35 seconds of Sunday's game. The first was when Talib was flagged for poking Allen in the eye following some pushing and shoving after a 2-yard run by Frank Gore. Broncos linebacker Von Miller and Allen were facemask to facemask after some post-play shoving and Talib joined the fray and jabbed two fingers inside Allen's helmet. "From my angle, I see [Allen] head-butt Von a little bit. I went over to poke his head, and I think my hand slipped and hit his face,'' Talib told reporters after the game. "He acted like he got in an 18-passenger car wreck. I guess that's what type of guy he is." Allen thought it was an intentional act by Talib. "You're taught since little league football to play to the whistle within the boundaries of the game," Allen said. "I just felt like Aqib, who is a heckuva player, Pro Bowl player, a guy of his caliber I look up to, went outside the boundary of the game and decided to take a cheap shot. Out of nowhere, I saw something, and it went into my eye. First time I've ever been poked in the eye intentionally when I'm not on the bottom of the pile. Very blurry. My eye is still really sore." Talib responded with "You think I play football to poke people in the eye? It was an honest mistake." Kubiak said following the game Talib must stay composed as the game gets "chippy.'' "Both sides are talking, and you have to handle your business," Kubiak said late Sunday night. "So that's on me, and I've got to make sure if he's out there he's got to handle his business." Kubiak said after the game that he didn't see what caused the second penalty on Talib but he would take a look at the game video to see what transpired. "I thought we did a great job of keeping our composure in the second half, thought we got ourselves in a position to win," Kubiak said. "Did we do some not very smart things at the end of the game to not get the ball back? I agree with that. "[Talib] knows we can't do those things," cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said following the game. "We know we have to keep our composure, and we usually do. Emotions run high. We were going to lose, and people were frustrated all around." Last edited by DaFace; 11-09-2015 at 03:30 PM.. |

Ben Carson believes that Talib didn't intend to gouge the guy's eyes. But then, he and Talib are old schoolmates at West Point so maybe he's biased.

He also believes Talibs' intent was to pat the other player on the helmet while saying "Talib friend".

Without Talib...KC would have won in week two. Losing Ware and the Gouger is a pretty big deal...they have been their best two defensive players this year.
It really ****s up what Wade wants to do...try losing Houston and Peters for a game. For them to act like this wont have an impact...yeah. |
