Aqib Talib picked off three passes in practice on Wednesday

According to Peter King, star cornerback Aqib Talib had a fantastic practice on Wednesday as he picked off three passes. One would presume he was victimizing Brock Osweiler who would have been leading the scout team, but even so, it is nice to hear that the defense is maintaining their mojo heading into Super Bowl 50.

One of those three picks he playfully took to the house down the left sideline. Still another vision we all hope to see again come Sunday.

This week of preparation isn't going to be as heavy as the work they put in last week while in Denver.

"Our goal here is to be short and sharp,'' Kubiak said of practice during Super Bowl week. "We had a really good start today, I thought. Our retention from last week was very good, and guys were very focused."

The team is scheduled to practice Thursday at 1 p.m. Pacific Time, then 11:30 a.m. PT on Friday, both at Stanford. They'll hold their final pre-game work Saturday with an 11 a.m. walk-through practice at Levi's Stadium.
