Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)

Anybody else find it strange that Taylor said he wanted to go to a contender but here he finds himself going to a team that is starting up with a new Head Coach? I'm optimistic about this year, but if I were in Taylor's shoes, I don't know that this would have been the first place on my list. That said, if we somehow make the playoffs this year, I can definitely see him sticking around for 2 or 3 more years.

It was a desperate move but a good one because you lose two DE's one a starter not sure how E. James will be after his injury plus Chris Wilson isn't a every down DE I would have preferred a 3rd rounder but yeah this might be one of the best 2nd round trades in a while for us.

We're going to get squashed in the running game. Taylor is the type of phony that ESPN loves to hype but he's not an everydown guy which is why Parcels has been trying to dump his ass from the moment he got there. Leave it Snyder and Ceratto to make his dreams come true. These two are quite a piece of work. Dumb and Dumber.
I'm concerned about the run game too, but this does help our pass rush. Blache will need to be creative/aggressive on run downs so we don't get exposed there. I don't have a problem with the move, I just wish we could've gotten Miami down to a 3rd & 6th rather than a 2nd.

Taylor doesn't fit in Parcells' 3-4, he's a 4-3 DE. This isn't a case of dumb & dumber, it's a case of "Oh $hit, we just lost 2 DEs in one day". JT will need to make the transition from Weak to Strong-side though, this is a very legit concern. Blache being a DL coach, I'm sure will scheme to protect him in the run game.

i dont like the fact that the espn article says that he has said in the past that this is his last year, but i am glad that we didnt give up a first rounder. welcome to the team jason, dont let us down

This trade and picking up the best punter available in the draft has in my opinion made this defense 20-30% better. Now if our offense can learn this Zorn offense quickly, this could be a lot of fun.

Updating Madden roster as we speak.

Yes!!!!

Based on this years draft we gave up our 1st round pick for (2) 2nd round picks, we will try to do a similar deal next year so giving up a 2nd for next year in my opinion isn't a big deal for a player of JT talent HAIL TO THE SKINS!

Good Deal for everyone........way better than P. Daniels.....best thing that could have happen to us

No More Injuries Please

Love this move! JT for 2 years is better than any of this year's 2nd round picks so a 2nd rounder next year (hopefully a pick in the bottom third of the round) is a great deal. As for his detriment to the run game, expect him to play LB in Goalline or short yardage situations. He's been an OLB in the 3-4 recently so he would actually make the short yardage run D better.
