Coach Williams and Sean Taylor

Just wondering if anyone else listened to the "60 Seconds" interview with Coach Williams on Redskins.com. When asked who his favorite professional athlete is he smiled and instantly said "Sean Taylor." Then, in the "Tazmanian Devil/Grim Reaper" article someone posted a few days ago, Coach Williams was glowing in his appraisal of Taylor's professionalism while at work. I know this topic was brought up in the Pacman jones thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.

I understand that Sean Taylor has been a "MEATHEAD" off the field (holla SC), but these comments by Coach Williams have gone a long way in quelling any concerns I had about Taylor bringing the problems to work.

Also, anytime a coach says one of his current players is his favorite professional athlete you know he is schemeing all kinds of blitz packages to feature him. If Taylor doesn't have a great year it won't be for lack of opportunities. It would have been a lot easier for Williams to say his favorite athlete is "Marcus Washington" or "Sean Springs," both amazing athletes and team players. It could also be that part of it is to boost Taylor's morale, but somehow I doubt that.

Didn't see the interview. but I agree with your assessment. I think it runs counter to the notion that Taylor isn't very coachable. After all, his coach seems to like him just fine.

I love those 60 seconds w/ a Redskin clips. Very interesting.

Also notice that when asked what the biggest challenge facing kids today, Williams responded 'decision making'. Ahem, Sean Taylor.

Taylor has the potential to completely revolutionize the safety position much like what LT did for the LB position.

I can't wait to see him this season.

Cooley, you beat me to the punch. I posted a comment on the PacMan thread, then I happen to go over to Redskins.com and listen to GW's comment on ST. Man, this speaks volumes about how he feels about this kid! But like I said on the other thread, I think he's also impressed with Taylor as an individual and not just an athlete. It was so funny how Larry Michaels barely finished the sentence and Gregg Williams said Taylor was his favorite athlete!!
You were right on, how come he mentions Taylor above let's say Washington or Springs or even C.Griff??

hahaha. That's hilarious. At least he didn't say anything about ATV's.

I liken Taylor at his position to what LT meant to his also!

What's also interesting is that during the Cincy game I saw Taylor calling, what seemed to be audibles, and directing players some after the defense was in formation. Signs of him becoming more comfortable.

he may screaming "I KNOW you got my ATVs!" to the other team.

I think Sean Taylor's knock hasn't really been coachability, he has been raved about by everybody from college to the pro's. I think its his maturity level, and decisions he makes mostly off the field.

hey what ever works:)
