Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)

Ain't that the truth

I really like this move but do have a couple of concerns.

I was reading an article earlier today on the Redskins official site that said that Zorn's practices were going to be more up tempo and have more contact, especially in the trenches. I just hope that these 2 very early injuries are just a fluke and there are not more to come. I don't know much about NFL practices but maybe it is better to ease into full pads with contact. On the other hand, I have always liked coaches who work the players hard.

I also worry about stopping the run. How nice would it be to still have Wynn right now?

All in all, I think this is going to make our entire D a LOT better.

BTW - if JC gets hurt tomorrow expect to see a #4 on this team.

LOL. Don't even joke about JC...

I’m actually anxious to hear more players opinions on the tempo of practice, it sounds pretty rough out there. I hope that it does not have a negative effect on team morale, especially if there are more injuries early in camp.

I like this deal a lot. Its gonna be weird seeing another Taylor and it not being #21.

Daniels' injury could be a blessing in disguise.

I'm still not a fan of this deal, but I spin it this way: at least we didn't give up a mid round pick to go after a guy who really wouldn't help us in the short term and has no development potential.

The idea of Carter and Taylor coming off the edges... wow I'm super pumped right now.

It's going to be great if we can get 10 point leads into the second half. That was actually a pretty significant problem last year.

The pass rusher is sort of like the bullpen in baseball. Having it is always a weapon, but it really earns its pay when the game is being won late.
