Buccaneers veteran Ronde Barber has seen what cornerback Aqib Talib can do on the field, which makes his teammate's struggles off it all the more difficult to swallow. To Barber, Talib is too talented to have extracurricular activities take away from his potential as a player. "I don't want say he can't do without football, but he's so good at it, football shouldn't be interrupted for a guy like that, especially for anything that happened outside of football," Barber told the St. Petersburg Times. Police in Garland, Texas, charged Talib with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a March 21 domestic incident. The second-degree felony is punishable by two to 20 years in prison, and he is scheduled to stand trial on March 26, 2012, according to his attorney. Barber believes Talib's problems stem from an inability or unwillingness to properly prioritize football. "If I had any guidance for Aqib it would be to make him focus on football," said Barber. "Everybody has priorities, and I'm not one to tell anybody what to do with their lives, but we all know that football has got to be something that defines him, not all this other stuff."
