I'll always remember in the ring of horror game, after Moss's second TD. The cowboys were driving and I believe Bledose throws to Clayton for a 1st and Sean comes up and leaves a huge hit for an incomplete. The ball went flying from the recievers hands.
Loved his style, he was just a bad dude. Remember when he taped up his face mask, or wore the crazy socks, or sported a mean fro for a while?

The way he could swoop in a pick a fumble off a bounce (Eagles, Bucs, Cowboys) and take off without ever losing his speed or focus was an unbelievably remarkable athletic skill that I compare to the best moves of the likes of Barry Sanders, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky.

Yeah he was silky smooth.

Definitely his work ethic.
The guy played every game, every down like the game counted on him making a play. Chasing down guys from behind, just throwing himself 110% into the game. And he did it and wasn't flashy about it. Some guys know they're so good and show off. Outside of that ONE incident where he spit on Pittman (And that guy's an ass anyway), ST to me was a class act.

The thing I remember was the first time I saw him play in person. I only get to maybe one game a year and I think this was a pre-season game against Carolina. I just remember looking at how big he was and that he looked like a tall linebacker. I couldn't believe how big he looked compared to all the skill guys. He really looked like a man among boys. He earned his nickname "Swoop" because watching a guy that big cover as much ground in a short time was like watching an eagle swoop down and snatch its prey. Amazing. I've never seen anyone like him.
I still can't believe he's gone.

My two favorite memories of Sean are the fumble recovery retuned for a TD against Philly & His pick against S.F during his rookie year. I was at the game in S.F and he was like M.J flying over his opponent for the INT. I also agree with SmootSmack that the way he could scoop up the ball with out breaking stride is something we will probably never see again. I just can’t get over how sad it is to think of all the plays he could have made in his career that were stolen from us Sunday night. Sean Taylor will truly be missed.

lol...I hate to point this out but that was Lavar Arrington in 2000. He hit Aikman so hard left a dent in his helmet...Aikman never played another down of football again...
I do remember Sean blasting Owens into the Eagles bench his rookie year and TO coming back out whining and begging for a flag...
God ST :owned: TO
