the Sean Taylor thread

I think this makes a pretty good statement about ST.

You can't ask for much more tonight from Sean Taylor. He played an outstanding game, he was excellent in coverage, and he had some very huge plays in the run game as well.

He laid some wood tonight, and I like to see him blitzing. He was better in coverage, but look (and I know this sounds weird): he's still learning. They are asking him to cover now in a way they didn't before. He's not playing as a hybrid LB/Safety--he's playing free safety again. Notice that there were really no deep balls against him, and no intermediate over them middle stuff. He's allowing us to "bend and not break." Now we just need him to start getting some picks. He's coming on, and when him and LL really hit their stride, look out. It's not quite there yet, IMO, but it's coming.

(And F*** Ditka. He's still bitter that JG ended his "dynasty" at one SB. No wonder he's no skins fan.)

Taylor played great tonight, and he is my favorite Skin. I do not agree with what Ditka said, but I imagine he watched a limited amount of Skins' games last year, and if you watched the wrong ones, you could come away with that impression of ST.

To the poster who said ST is better than any safety Ditka ever had, you might want to do some research. Dave Duerson was one of the starting safeties on the '85 Bears team and went to 4 pro-bowls. The other starting safety on that team, Gary Fencik, went to 2 pro-bowls and is the Bears' all-time leader in interceptions and tackles.

Taylor makes me proud I bought his jersey yesterday. I rocked it with pride today and glad I did.

I'm sure (or at least I hope) Ditka is eating his words after tonights game.

Does anyone have a video clip of Taylor's hit since ESPN refused to show the replay of it?

amen, and if ditka really has problem ask him about his defense....that one that DG ran the punt back against to end his boys(walter payotns) career. go ef yourself ditka, talent is talent and he is the meanest sob in this league and he would have treated you like a redheaded stepchild. i rocked the 36, no i rock the 21 and its for a reason. gotta love him.

I can't believe that Taylor can still hit like that. He looks like he's 6'3" and 195 lbs.

He sends message and it looks like it hurts.

I can't believe ESPN was more interested than talking about the Fat Walrus' junky kids than the great hit Taylor laid out.

F'n Numpties!!
