Thos thiings were good, but not AMAZING. Taylor doesnt make good plays on the ball. He plays like a linebacker, not a safety, maybe we should move him up. I think we need more speed and quickness at safety, while we need more aggressiveness at the OLB spot. Taylor is a terrific tackler, but doesnt read the ball in the air that well, and he is known to bite on qb fakes. He's the franchise right now, with portis.
Apparently you have only been watching Taylor this season. Taylor is a beast, and he isnt that bad at pass coverage, when there is a decent corner, and he is not matched one on one. Not too many safeties in the league, can do that, so your expectations are unrealistic.
Your description of ST is more accurate for AA, who is even worst at all those things, he bits very hard, and all he can do is tackle. Right now the coaching staff has seen that, and if you look at film, Arch plays closer to the line, while Taylor drops. More or less of a cover 1, where Taylor has the whole backfield as his responsibility. Although Taylor gets smoked, this is the best thing we can do at this point, because our line cant generate pressure, so AA must try to get there, and ST is responsible for the rest. Without decent corners, the best safeties in the league are toast.
