How much better is Pats' secondary with Talib?

Share

Andy Hart of Patriots Football Weekly joins "Uno Sports Tonight" to discuss how much better the Pats secondary will be with the acquisiton of Aqib Talib.

"It immediately make you better," Hart said. "He's got talent. There's a reason he was the 20th pick in the draft and has 18 career interceptions."

Is he now the Pats' best cornerback?

"You can make the argument that he's better than Devin McCourty," Hart said.

Hart also pointed out that everyone in Tampa has called Talib "an man corner" and "old school." He's supposed to be the kind of defender that can match up with the other team's best receiver.

Still, Hart said, that's not exactly the way the Patriots play and it will be interesting to see how Talib fits in to New England's various schemes.

Will his acquisition move McCourty to safety.

Hart doesn't think so. "I still think he's a corner," Hart said of McCourty. "Make Talib and McCourty your starting corners."

Hart said the return of safeties Patrick Chung and Steve Gregory will further bolster the Pats struggling secondary.
