Sean Taylor dropped 16 lbs.

4.5 that's not that fast. I'm pretty sure he can run a sub 4.4

He has run a sub 4.4. He ran a 4.37 his senoir year at Miami. He just got bigger and lost some of it. I hope he has gotten it back.

This is a great sign. It shows that Sean is ready to assume the role that G-dub has laid out for him. Why would this make him injury prone? If anything he is probably in better shape than ever.

It sounds like he will be thinking ball first end career second. He is going to have a break out year!God I hope you are right. That would do more for our defense than a new LB ever could.

It is faster than 90% of the WRs in the league. Most of the CBs too.

and 100% of the offensive linemenhttp://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif

He'll be faster.. and hit just as hard..

as a mach truck. (i had to finish your sentence hess.)

I Cant Wait For Football Season!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

This is great news. It looks like Sean Taylor put in some serious offseason work, which shows a strong committment to the team. I'm no physics major but I doubt the 16 lb drop in weight will affect his hitting ability all that much since his speed has increased. There have been plenty of durable, hard-hitting light weight players in the NFL.

Well, I was a physics major, and I can tell you that velocity is more important that mass when determining the kinetic energy in an impact. Energy increases proportional to mass but as the square of velocity. E(kinetic)=.5m(mass)x V(velocity)^2

I wasn't a physiology major, however, I am guessing that the lighter weight will make him more, not less durable. Less weight on his knees and ankles when running and less mass to accelerate when making cuts generally leads to increased joint durability, which is usually what brings these players down. That and neck injuries which is more of a technique issue.

I'm excited most of all for the committment it shows from Sean, to go that route in order to improve the team, even after knowing we went and got another safety at 6.
