You know what I was just thinking of today was that hit Sean Taylor layed out against some Detroit Lion this year when Rock had that big kickoff return.
My first thought when I saw that was "Wow, what a hit!" But then I thought about how Taylor, undoubtedly a star on the team, had no issue with playing special teams and laying it all out there.

My god he really laid that guy out too
Wicked shot
I'm really going to miss those shots, they were always shots that made you stand up and say wow
he was the best hitter in the league since ronnie lott.i never so anybody play safety the way he did,i mean the guy had no fear on the field.i hope the redskins retire number 21 at the last home game this season.seeing anybody else with that number just could never be the same.
Looking at some of his most memorable hits, I really think if Taylor was able to play a full career he would have gone down as the biggest hitter the league has seen, right up there with Lott, perhaps even better.

For the past 4 years when Taylor was out of a game and we got burnt on a play. I would always think to myself "that wouldn't have happened if Sean was back there". I've thought that a lot of times in the last two games. He was a special player. The fumble return against the Bucs in the playoffs. Who else for the skins do you think could have been running full speed and picked the ball up on a bounce and ran it back? No one is the answer. His leaping ability and coverage range was unbelievable. I always knew on a deep pass there was a good chance something good would happen for the skins. Becuz 21 was always back there. A talent like his is extremely rare. The skins will never have another safety with his ability.
THANKS SEAN FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES! I'LL ALWAYS THINK OF WHAT COULD'VE BEEN IF YOU WERE PLAYING DEEP FOR THE SKINS.

I still can't believe he is gone, just thinking about him makes me teary-eyed...it's all so surreal. I'm going to miss seeing him play against the likes of TO and Randy Moss. I'm going to miss our enforcer.

I got to see him his rookie season in St. Louis and all I could think was how much of a beast he looked. People always said it but until you saw him in person you would understand it.
The greatest memory would be last years Dallas game. I was getting ready to shut off the tv cause I could not take another Dallas loss. Some reason-I guess due to me being such a die hard- i left it on. That was one of my most happiest, excited, and whatever all in one as a Redskins fan. Thank You Sean.

I will miss that excitement that Taylor brought to the game. you know, that feeling that he was gonna make something happen either by big hit or INT-and the other team knew it too. I mean, ST was a scary dude.
biggest play i remember has to be that blocked FG against Dallas. I had that all too familiar sick feeling in my stomach when Whitten got behind archuleta for that catch. I though , man here we go again. But then taylor scoops up that loose ball and GETS FACEMASKED and never breaks stride. I've never seen that in my life. Can u imagine the bedlam in fedex if he would have scored on that play?
biggest hit is a tossup between that monster hit he put on patrick Crayton, and the way he blew up Pittsburgh's Willie Parker a couple yrs back.
