Jason Taylor to have second surgery on Monday on calf

Get the needed rest and then help finish the year strong!

I say do the procedure today and let him rest the Detroit, Pittsburgh and Bye week so he's ready for Dallas.

We gave up a 2nd rounder next year and a 6th in 2010 to get him, he takes up $8m cap space this year and $8.5m next, we put a lot of our eggs in this old basket. He better produce. We could get several good players with that $8.5M in cap space next year he is taking up.
At least Shawn Springs who also takes up a lot of cap space produces when he is on the field.

A week or two ago Taylor said the calf is the most swollen and painful right after a game. I say definitely shut him down this weekend and probably next weekend. Besides, I'd say a 100% Demetric Evans has been better than a 60% Jason Taylor thus far.

Being healthy for the last 7 games after the bye should be his focus. I'd love to see him come out 100% guns blazing in the Week 11 Dallas game and crush Romo a few times.

I'm not worried about what we'll get from him when he's healthy. IMO injuries are the only reason he's not pro-bowl quality right now.

yeah i agree with you all, shut him down for a stretch, even until the last few games of the reg season if thats what it takes. i was looking forward to seeing what he could do this year, alil disappointed but thats how football goes sometimes.

go skins!!

shut him down .. one thing about taylor I love is his ability to knock passes down at the line of scrimmage in key situations ... it's happened about 3-4 times this year where he has knocked down a ball on 3rd down or key situations ... if he can be 90-100% healthy for the stretch run ( beginning vs Dallas ) I think that can really catapolt (sp) us deep into the playoffs .. how about erasmus james ?? where is that guy !

Evans is solid and should be in there.

Love how this thread is filled with people wanting him back in if he were 70-80% earlier in the year. Rushed him back and just slowed down his progression.

When you say "earlier in the year," do you mean right after the calf injury or before?

Right after, when there was a rumor he could come back.
