Taylor Reports to OTAs

I just watched the short interview with Taylor at Redskins.com and would make the following points:

1. Taylor now seems comfortable talking with the media. Heretofore I felt I hardly knew him at all.

2. Despite what he said in the interview he can't be happy with his contract.

3. Someone has wised him up to the fact that the way to Snyder's wallet is to put on the public face of Mr. Redskins team player. We're all a happy family.

4. All the above indicate that Taylor is quite intelligent and also capable of reigning in the urge to "keep it real". HT: Dave Chapelle

I love how PFT posts a story about how its "sources" tell them that Taylor isn't upset with his contract a mere 2 hours or so after Redskins.com posted the interview with ST. They always post stories after some other news outlet has broken the story and then post a story in which they say that they are basing their claims on their "sources."

PS - I have major inside sources....(whispering) I subscribe to ESPN Insider and troll through SI.com every day.

The one thing that people were failing to pick up on during his interview that wasn't in the video, but in the article by Gary Fitzgerald, was when Sean Taylor said "Every year I'm trying to show up here more and more," "It helps the team. The last couple of years I've been kind of busy with certain issues. I finally have those in the past and I'm working on getting ahead."
There has obviously been something else holding him back from the beginning of OTA's that is probably of a personal matter and nobody elses damn business. He is here, working out, not disgruntled and very much more mature than most are giving him credit for. He is not pretending to not be worried about his friggin contract. He is legitimately not concerned with his contract at all.

You guys are much better in this area of the forums that I mostly read up here but I did want to add that ST will be a beast this year with the help of Landry.

Those two guys will make NFL mothers cry. period

not to rehash the entire thread, but someone was agreeing on Taylor holding out because of a contract issue, and your post was " yeah, what he said". thats why you made the list. it was all in good fun.


dont remember that but okay

Sarcasm. It became so hard to follow. (This message is NOT sarcastic, I swear)


ok iwas being sarcastic when i said i appreciate it cause you were being sarcastice when you said i was smooth but back to the thread:

love that he is back on the field so he can mesh with landry and they can really find out how everyone plays and they can see how well they play together i am drooling again

Its great to see that in taylor's interview he denied any problems with his contract... That is all just a media rumor.

I'll say this one last thing about the whole Taylor thing. I watched his interview a couple of times and his responses to the questions. The thing that impressed me the most is that publicly he's saying all the right things. Whether he means them or not is not really the point as far as I'm concerned. But the fact that he's learning how to play the game and not allowing media rumors to ruffle his feathers shows maturity on his part.

He seems to be pretty genuine to me.

He also seems looser and more at ease than in the past. Maybe he's finally opening up?

It further demonstrates why we shouldn't put a great deal of stock in what we read. We all have minds of our own, and can use them to form our opinions on most issues without much outside influence.

Listning to Taylor's interview, I sense a bit more maturity in his expression and willingness to talk with the media. I hope this is a sign of things to come.
