Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!

Glad to see he gets in. Nice to see something positive in these dark times.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

I had a funny feeling he would be a late edition. Good for him, even through a mediocre season.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

He really doesn't deserve it.

Who would you vote in his place?

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Good for him, but he definiltely didn't have a Pro Bowl worthy season. I think the lack of other playmaking free safeties in the NFC is what helped him.

I would love for Sean to take advantage of this opportunity and learn a lot about being a playmaker as well as improving his instincts while he has the opportunity to play with the league's best in Hawaii.

He was one of the lone bright spots on our team this year. If Jason Witten can get in....come on...

Love the "puppy kicker" you should add "baby seal killer"

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Call it how you want but Taylor led all NFL safties with tackles and most linebackers.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Not one single Redskin deserves to be in. Not one.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

I think he deserves it. 80% of his mistakes were because he was trying to cover for someone else.

Thomas? If not a Pro Bowler, he's on the cusp.

That's because RB's were untouched going through our line and LB's. ST needs to play better next year. When he is healthy Bob Sanders is better than ST, and Sanders is only 5'8 and 190lbs and was a 2nd round draft pick.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Bob Sanders plays in the AFC.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

maybe lovie can teach him how to play defense

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Well i think he deserves it, if it wasnt for Sean we probably would have lost most games by alot more. Plus he deserved it his first two seasons and didnt get to go so this makes up for that. And to the guy who said Bob Sanders is better, are you serious, its funny how forgetful redskins fans are sometimes, the guy has one iffy season and hes all of a sudden Derrick Gibson, Bob Sanders is good, but hes definately not as good as Sean Taylor.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Sean had 129 tackles. espn had him at only 114 but that still gives him more tackles than any other saftey in the NFC and second in the league for safteys. It also makes him 20th in the entire nfl in tackles and 10th in NFC. Combine that with 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and one pick i think he deserves to be in there. Granted the reason he made so many tackles was because we allowed way to many runs to reach the secondary and our corners gave up alot of deep passes. However, I think Sean was required to do so much more this season because of the inability to stop the run and defend the pass. He basically had to clean up the mess that everyone else left him, and the stats prove he rose to the occasion. As bad as our defense was this season, its hard to imagine us staying with any team in the league without Sean Taylor. This is first of many probowls for Sean Taylor.

I know he plays in the AFC. I'm just using him as an example. He is what I call a playmaker at safety. Indy's defense is not the same when he is out of the lineup.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

[quote=chrisl4064;275100]bob sanders? are you serious...... moron...[/quote]

Yes I'm serious and your the moron. ST was out of position on so many plays it was ridicules. Plus he's always trying to knock somebody out. Always trying to make Sports Center. I like his hustle and the intimidation factor. But he needs to learn how to be more disciplined.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Skinsfan is right that ST had a bad season, but when the front 9 struggle, there isn't a safety in the league that isn't going to look bad. You put Bob Sanders or Ed Reed or Ronnie Lott or whoever into this year's skins d and they are going to struggle.

Bob Sanders is a great player, but I wouldnt trade ST for any safety in the league, other than maybe Reed.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

man, whats with all the hating on taylor? Im glad hes going. And for those of you with your pantys in a wad about him not deserving it, he is 3rd on the pro bowl depth chart. Its not like they put him up in the 1st spot. But as the 1st alternate, and with dawkins injurys, hes next in line. [B]PLUS!! [/B]he got the shaft when he deserved to be the starting safety. Im happy for ST.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Just curious, does this count as, for want of a better word an 'official' Pro Bowl appearance?

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Interesting how he gets in after his worst year. It will be funny to watch the AFC receivers drop immediately to the ground when he comes into the game.

Somebody is going to get lit up because he won't be going half speed.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

anyone know if his jersey will be for sale

When did the critics become experts on secondary play?

How do you fairly judge a secondary when the front seven was pathetic? Not serviceable, PATHETIC.

Exactly, the defensive line had the least sacks in the NFL, I dont think thats going to help out the Dbacks very much

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;275090]Not one single Redskin deserves to be in. Not one.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't go that far, even though the team as a whole had a bad season, it doesn't mean that individual players didn't have a pro bowl season.

Although I will say, Taylor didn't have a pro bowl year...

Sign me up for a Taylor Pro-bowl jersey.

I should know better. But I just hate that crap. No need to insult my opinion. I like ST. I just happen to think Sanders is better.

Not being in position has nothing to do with the front 7. I know the front 7 was bad. But ST needs to be more disciplined in coverage. He gave up too many big plays by taking bad angles. Again that has nothing to do with what goes on in front of him. Also the tackleling was bad. Lot's and lot's of arm tackles. I hope in the mini camps and training camp that the defense really goes back to basics. Look at what Indy did? They didn't change any players. Alot of guys just started tackleling better and holding down their gaps.

In the NFC? Probably no one at this point. And I never said he didn't deserve to go as a 3rd alternate. I just said that Bob Sanders, when healthy is a better player. That guy is a serious difference maker.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Taylor had one off year out of 3. No one can deny he deserved to go last year, and the year before, but this year dawkins and wilson had better years, and I was actually suprised he was an alt...

He does deserve to go at least based, in part, on past merit and the fact that his off field issues kept him from going the past couple of years...

Tellya what, I'll take Taylor...and umm, you can keep Bob Sanders:)

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

In other news, Pierce is replacing Urlacher in the Pro Bowl. It would be nice to have Pierce and not have to worry about another possible hole to fill, but coulda shoulda woulda.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Good to see Taylor get some recognition.

I'm not going to get into this silly argument as to if he "deserves" it or not. He's an alternate, he wasn't the first choice so relax. Besides, we all know there are plenty of guys that make it each year that don't deserve it.

Re: Taylor is in the Pro Bowl!!!
 

Say what you will about Taylor making the Pro-Bowl. IMO, Taylor should have made it last year, and even though the team struggled he did the best he could with trying to make up for AA. He played alot better when Fox came in.

But [B]HOW IN THE HELL DOES WITTEN MAKE IT OVER COOLEY????[/B] I mean Witten had 64 catches for 750+ yards and 1TD, thats it he hit paydirt 1 time last season!!!! Cooley had 57 catches for 734 yards and 6TD's and he still doesnt get in. That is totally crazy!!!
