That's the other thing. After watching the clip a couple of times, I realized that ST had the presence of mind to pull up and NOT risk an usportsmanlike penalty. Not sure he would have done that last year. Taylor said things are starting to become more instinctive for him; I think his pulling up shows that.
(One of my guilty pleasures from last year was when ST gave Owens a forearm shiver that laid Owens out as Owens was WALKING BACK TO THE HUDDLE - dumb move that got properly penalized. But, I just LOVE to see Owens get smacked around.)
