Every year when this anniversary comes up it's a reminder to me, to appreciate each player as an individual. Yeah they get paid big money for it, but I'm emotionally attached to this team (irrationally so) and I have them all to thank for the ups and downs I get to experience on autumn Sundays.

Wish I could have gotten to see Sean Taylor for more of them and read more about how his life developed. Thanks to the Redskins for doing what you do.

Except Bruce Allen. F that guy.

Not just skins fans but most will say ST would have been the best Safety of all time, his athleticism playing that position has never been seen before. He could do it all, cover guys like Randy Moss and TO in their primes, deliver a crushing blow and was a great run defender.

I felt like the "best safety of all time" theory is a bit of a stretch, certainly it would've been possible if he had kept it up. But his unique ability to cover like an Ed Reed and hit like a Ray Lewis was unmatched.
