I can't wait till he's called the best *player* playing defense in the NFL.

I don't know why people are hyping Taylor. He hasn't done jack shit so far and to tell you the truth, I wasn't impressed with that pick. It was floater that could have been grabbed by anyone. My crippled cousin could have picked that one and he is on crutches.
I think he is gifted and a decent player but by no means is he an impact player, yet.
Oh, and Jackassworth is a dick.

Taylor's speed is scary for his size, Quinn never had a chance. Imagine this Taylor blitzing from one end & Arrington from the other. Meeting at the QB.
:eek:

Saden: Taylor read the pass and he just waited for the ball, then made a great move to seal off the game. At first I thought it was a horrible pass, then I saw it from a different angle, and Taylor made a good play. It wasn't spectacular, but I'll take it.
Taylor has been around nearly every tackle since he's started, and most of the time when you see a TD and Taylor right there, it wasn't his guy. He's been burned a good 3-4 times, but you expect that out of a rookie. Give him a little time, he'll be a beast.

I'm with Saden on this one. Don't get me wrong, I was excited as the Hogettes at an all-you-can-eat buffet when we drafted Taylor, but since the preseason I've seen a whole lot of poor tackling. He's got good vision, so he's usually in the vicinity of the play but has been beaten several times and has missed some straight on tackles.
Of course, he's a rook. So it's all good - he'll get better. I think (hope) he'll be an animal very soon. However, one interception (even though it was at a crucial point) does not a superstar make. Let's see him keep it up for a few weeks...
I thought the Bears game was a bit of a turning point for Taylor. He made some really nice plays and flashed some of his incredible athleticism, seems like the game is starting to slow down for him.
Nobody is saying he's the best safety in the game right now, but he's starting to flash, that's all anybody is saying.

Nice to see Sean's hard work paying off. I think he's going to be a great player years to come.

I think it say's a lot that people outside of the Redskins are praising Taylor even though he has'nt made a lot of highlight films. This was his first impact game and he did miss some tackles (that one where jones ran by him looked bad) but like Daseal has said he is always around the ball. And I think why the experts are so high on him is because of his speed & size. With a little experience he has the potential to be the best in the game.
