I know theres some people that have got to together and talk this through.Kubiak has not ruled Talib out for Sunday nights game in Oakland against the 6-2 Raiders, but Talib would have to improve significantly over the next three days to be in uniform Sunday night.On the injury, Kubiak added: Theres good days and bad days, you know what I mean?
