Aqib Talib vows to fight Harry Douglas as payback for 'dirty' play image

Aqib Talib will not let Harry Douglas off the hook.

Talib unloaded on the Titans receiver following Tennessee's 13-10 win over Denver at Nissan Stadium. Talib was penalized Sunday for getting into a fight with Douglas after Douglas dove at the right knee of Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.

Talib said because he and Douglas are both represented by Todd France, he knows he'll see Douglas again and it won't be a cordial meeting.

"It was a dirty play by a sorry player," Talib told reporters. "He didn’t do nothing coming into this game. He didn’t catch no passes. He comes into this game and chops guys in the back. 

"He got the same agent as me so when I see his ass in Atlanta I’m going to beat his ass. He tried to do something dirty so that’s why I’m going to beat his ass."

Harris left the game briefly, but did return. He admitted to having his career flash before his eyes, especially because he tore his ACL during the 2013 season. 

While Talib called Douglas a dirty player, the nine-year veteran offered a retort.

"I'm a tough player, I'm a gritty player," said Douglas, who had one catch for 10 yards in Sunday's game. "I'm not a dirty player no matter what anybody says."
