The lone bright spot..

dblanch66 · 10-31-2005, 02:30 PM

SEAN TAYLOR! He played like an absolute beast. He was the only one flying all over the field trying to make plays. If you doubt me, go back and look at the game (if you dare). At least we had ONE player hustling. I friggin' love this kid! I KNOW, I know...It doesn't overshadow the vomitous display from the rest of the team, but he was the best player on the field for the Skins yesterday.

wasn't he responsible for some of the long runs for taking bad angles?

He had a several plays he took bad angles on and had 3 tackles and 3 asist. If anyone was a bright spot it would have to be Clark with 11 tackles and one int., but this team played so bad i would take back some of the game balls given out last week.

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch any of the "highlights", but one of my friends told me this morning that on ESPN they showed some clips of Taylor taking some horrible angles.

In all honesty, I would like to see the ST replays. However, I cannot risk seeing a highlight, as it would bring me off a very expensive Wellbutrin induced bender, and put me in another suicidal tailspin. Perhaps one of you techie types could edit out the ENTIRE team except for Sean Taylor. That could be this weeks highlights?

Twilbert07 · 10-31-2005, 04:14 PM

Taylor did have that idiotic late-hit penalty that led to a field goal in the first quarter. At the time it seemed big, but of course, that's when the score still was close.

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-31-2005, 04:15 PM

How about this for a lone bright spot?

Our coverage team didn't give up any huge returns. If anything, our special teams coverage has been excellent. At least Morton didn't do much.

steveo395 · 10-31-2005, 04:17 PM

i think ryan clark was the best player in that game

definitely robert royal was the worst

celts32 · 10-31-2005, 04:29 PM

Sean Taylor played a horrendous game...bad angles on all the long runs..he missed several tackles that I can recall....He even had a costly late hit. He was awful. There is not one person i would say played well...

scowan · 10-31-2005, 04:41 PM

Sean Taylor played bad, but I can't count how many missed tackles I saw by the entire defense!! Maybe they all had snot on their hands, because the D could not tackle and the O could not catch or hang on to the ball. Gezzzz!!!

BigSKINBauer · 10-31-2005, 04:58 PM

i love ryan clark. He is up there with my favorite players. Also he is underrated by our very own fans. He and sean taylor are an amazing duo at safty. Ryan had the best game by far, he was the only bright spot

That Guy · 10-31-2005, 06:16 PM

start ryan and bowen? seriously, aren't safeties supposed to stay back and provide a net when the front 7 screw up? it seems like once you break the Dline its a home run.

Last year we gave up 1 big run all year i think, and now we're giving up 2 a game... piearce is better than marshall, lemar is better than holdman, smoot is better than the two guys replacing him and warner/evans may be a better combo than daniels. I'm just a bit upset cause our defense turned to trash against the run this year after putting up steel baricades last year.

Talk about knee jerk... While we're at it, put in Betts over Portis, Ramsey over Brunell, and Molinaro over Samuels since they all had bad games.

FYI, Matt Bowen is third string now, behind Prioleau.

Yea Right he played like a real winner

dblanch66 · 10-31-2005, 08:46 PM

The point I was making was about hustle. He may have missed some tackles but wouldn't have had to, had the d-line and linebackers been doing their job. The late hit call was absolute bull crap. This game is getting sissy-ish.
