I'd like to see him at MLB, but everyone else seems to think that is moronic
he doesn't even know where he's supposed to line up, much less direct 10 other people on their assignments. he's also a bit undersized and has no experience at MLB...

True, I just fell like taylor makes far to many tackles at safety, and is always looking to make the big hit, just seems like a libebacker mentality. Not that great of a cover guy.
He makes so many tackles because there is no pressure from the front 7. I think that he can be a better cover guy with a better partner in crime (ie Ryan Clark) so that he isn't expected to do everything himself. Better to stick Arch at linebacker if anything. No loss to the secondary.

marshall is undersized, and he has a LOT of trouble shedding blocks, if you haven't noticed. he was a safety in college too. but marshall is smart and knows how to line people up... at least, it seemed like he did last year.

What the hell? It seems like the entire Unit got stupid and useless since last season?

When a defense plays consistently as bad as we have this season, it's difficult to point the finger at any one thing, or person. The unit has not performed very well, that's the bottom line. We can go up and down the defensive lineup, find fault, and point fingers at just about every position, but GW admitted after yesterday's loss, he can do a better job of coaching as well. This unit needs to be shopped for a tune-up, and it's going to be interesting to see what changes are going to be made to make to unit more effecient. We cannot go into another season with these same players in tow because they have demonstrated game after game they cannot get the job done.

Not to mention that our surest tacklers from last year (Taylor and Washington) are both good for at least one whiff per game. Gibbs needs to get medieval and have the whole team practice in full pads like he did in the old days.
Bellichek did it to the Pats and look what they did to the Packers on Sunday

With the defense healthy, we need to stop pampering these guys
