Actually I blame Springs for the FF. As far as I could see they were man to man and Springs bit on the run. Taylor, on the replay is split between 2 deep runners and initially went towards the run, and that's the real mistake he made. 2 guys go real deep on a run not looking to make blocks, and something is likely up.
He actually got beat by Glenn on that long pass, on a later drive, but I think it was called back, so he got lucky.
However, I don't care. That hit made the game. If he'd missed or let him get another step, the Pokes would likely have been close to FG range and still driving. The pressure was moved entirely to the Pokes to make a 3rd down instead of getting a 1st. Fumble or not (I also think it may have been), it was one hell of a hit!
