Taylor on offense?!

[BrudLee]

So jdlea, am I to understand you're not a fan of Taylor taking goalline snaps? I'm just trying to get everything straight.

For the record:

If he takes only goal line snaps I'm with that. If they become confident in him and he starts coming in to run reverses or he starts coming in to run a few routes a game from our own 40 yard line, for example, I'm against that. I think he needs to stick to the goal line exclusively if he's playing offense at all.

I can totally agree with that. The simple truth is that in today's league, there are goalline specialists. Ostensibly, Nemo is one, although he didn't make the active list this week. If Taylor is to be used in goalline or short yardage situations, that's a plus. If he becomes a 10-12 play receiver, it is exposing him to unnecessary risk of injury and fatigue, and jeopardizing our strong defense.

I can certainly see a reverse to Sean Taylor sometime in the near future

That's precisely what I was thinking, except I don't see it being used short yardage. He'll come in (during a game like Cow-Whores next week) when we need a WTF?!?!? from the opposing D coordinator and it'll be enough to back the D up for a critical 1st down. I'm expecting him to be in the slot and running someone over. Within 5 yards, of course.

If he’s just a decoy then it’s worthless putting him out there. I say if you’re going to put him on offense quite a bit throw the ball to him otherwise cut the crap and let him just play FS.

Very exciting to see him on offense. I wonder how much he will be used against dallas, at least it would be great to see roy williams come up for a goaline tackle and get run over by a blocking ST!!! just wondering if ST scores a TD how would that count in a fantasy league? Defensive score or just points against other teams defense?

if you had ST, it'd count in his stats, but if he's playing on offense at the time, it wouldn't go on the D's stat.
