I also think that people are underestimating his pride. You think he wants to go out after last year? I doubt it. Jason Taylor is a monster and was a big contributor to the 4th best defense in the NFL last year. Plus, in my opinion the best game of the year by the defense was the second Philly game and he was all over the place.

All good points $$, and I'm not in anyway suggesting he's a fraud or anything like that but i do think it's legit to wonder where his pro-bowl talent is put to the best use... i tend to think Taylor has the best opportunity of all our guys to benefit from the presence of big Al and that means he's got to be on the LOS but i don't want to see him shedding huge blockers all day at LDE before he's got a shot at the QB.
