Sean Taylor
 

Two steps forward, one step back.

He played real well (the Int and the facemask:D on McNabb were awesome), but he also had that personal foul. I think that he was actually joking around with TO (mainly because TO didn't try to retaliate or plead his case to the refs afterward) and that it wasn't a malicious hack at TO during the play.

I wonder if Taylor is developing a rep for being a badboy on the field, especially after the spitting hoo-haa with Cinci.

He reminds me alot like Lawrence Taylor being a hard hitter and basically a player that was feared by alot of offenses. The funny thing is LT was a linebacker and Sean is a Safety...hahaha

I think that's going to be par for the course for Taylor this year. He'll mix some brilliant plays in with some boneheaded ones. It seems the brilliant plays are starting to outnumber the not so great ones though.

Yeah, I'm not worried about Taylor. He's 21 years old and immature, but he's a gamer. I'm glad he is on our team.

Lawrence Taylor, LB
Height: 6'3" Weight: 237 lbs.

Sean Taylor, FS
Height: 6'2" Weight: 231 lbs.

Taylor is a beast, He is making rookie mistakes but thats to be expected. Hes going to make a huge impact in this league though. I cant wait till he matures some and teams fear him and have to game plan around him.

It's hard to believe he's "only" 231. I swear when he stands next to LaVar he looks bigger, and LaVar goes about 250.

I like that Taylor is getting a little mean streak to him. I dont agree with the ALLEDGED spitting incedent, but I like that hes a " bad boy " and people defintley have to start fearing him a little on the feild.

anyone know if there's a clip of the hit cuz i know I wouldn't mind seeing it again right about now?

I think Sean Taylor can be the next Ray Lewis, impact wise .... hes only 21 years old...

Here's when Sean Taylor will live up to his hyupe:

When people start talking about how his spectacular plays turned a defeat into a victory. Right now, everything he does amounts to a highlight reel and yet another loss.

BTW, if someone goes and finds a play of his "big hit", go look at the Eagles' first drive. When McNabb scrambled for 19 yards to keep the drive alove - which resulted in a score by the way - you will see McNabb fake a Redskon out of his jockstrap and pick up another 8 or 9 yards. Look carefully at the tape; the Redskin's number is 36...

Taylor isn't the first nor the last player that McNabb will juke outta their shoes.

Happens to the best of them.

i hope he's got a meanstreak... we need some players with a spine on the squad. as long as he isnt jumpin into the stands bashin ppl artest-style i think its all good.

Matty:

To be sure, McNabb has earned his reputation as an elite player in the NFL. But I did want some of the folks here who were going into a "Sean Taylor rhsposdy" to recognize that he made some blockheaded playes today too.

LIke I said, when his big hits and spectacular plays turn a game around or when he becomes a force in the league that forces offenses to alter their normal game plans, then it might be approporate for him to be mentioned in the same paragaph with Lawrence Taylor. Until then...

Yeah, I think it is Champ Bailey that he fakes out in the highlight reel Fox plays everytime they do a promo for an Eagles game.

Can anoyone say a madern day Andre Waters? Would you prefer Taylor playing with the Eagles?

If you look at that play a little closer it is obvious that Sean Taylor was covering someone which allowed McNabb to take off and when he started coming down field ST planted and tried to cut back to get McNabb but he slipped on the field. You could see how the field was terrible, I live in PA and I know it was raining the day before and made the field conditions bad. I am not saying Sean Taylor doesn't make any stupid mistakes but he didn't on that play. He stuck with his man until McNabb crossed the line and then tried to cut back and slipped.

Taylor is a beast. He'll make a couple of stupid plays but he is an intimidator. I want him on our side. He reminds me of Lavar in his overall approach to the game. He lays his body out on every play.

McNabb was averaging like 8 yds a carry against us for his career at one point, so him shaking ST yesterday was no big deal. I hoped ST was going to lay the smack down, but I can see he's still learning the ropes right now. Sean Taylor is going to be alright, right now the defense is under too much pressure. The penalty was a bit much, but it comes with playing on the edge. I like that he has a mean streak, I want a safety that's going to make his presence felt, like Roy Williams. Sean Taylor will be just as good as RW, if not better since he's such a great cover guy.

Overall I really like Taylor. He still makes a lot of mistakes (as expected), but he's all over the field.

I also think he's a little nuts, but that could be a good thing. As long as he doesn't turn into Ron Artest. :rolleyes:

taylor got an int while play man coverage on chad johnson, and another covering TO... i guess QBs don't expect safeties to be any good at coverage, but he's done some good things...
