Jason Taylor does not fit Parcell's 3-4 scheme. Taylor is strictly a 4-3 pass rush DE. Parcells like his DL to be run stoppers and occupy the offensive linemen so his LB's make the plays. Taylor is not built for that.
Parcells isn't coaching the D though is he? I don't know a lot about what's going on there, but is he in charge of what defense they're going to run or is that the new defensive coordinator (they got one?)?

JLC is a Redskin insider only when the powers that be allow for him to be. It's funny to me that people think that he has lots of secret connections to the pulse of the front office because it's just not true. Like I've said before JLC works for the Post and Dan Snyder and the Post have a horrible relationship so it would make sense that JLC would not have access to many of the goings on behind closed doors at Redskins Park. I think La Canfora's blog needs to be renamed to Not Really A Redskins Insider at All.
Well some of his biggest connections (if not his biggest) on the team are gone. He, like anyone else in the biz, is right sometimes and he's wrong sometimes.
But people just need to learn how to read. JLC is just saying he think Taylor is someone to keep an eye on. He makes no allusion to the Redskins being interested. When he wants to, whether his source is reliable or not, he will say something like "League sources say..." or "A source inside the Redskins says..."

I dont think any rumors will be enough to clean him outta Miami. He's 60% of their D.

I don't seem him going anywhere either. He still has several miles on his tires, and he's got to be in the top 5 DE's in the leauge.

Yeah, seriously. Bill Parcells doesn't have a scheme for the Dolphins. His scheme is to acquire players, not coordinate the defense or coach the team...

Wasn't he Defensive Player of the Year two years ago while playing in a hybrid 3-4 ... often as a stand up OLB? Maybe I'm wrong, don't follow the Fins particularly closely, but I'm pretty sure that is correct.

Yup
Saban has overhauled the defense, installing 3-4 packages that will feature three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Taylor as a hybrid end-linebacker.
