You know what I was just thinking of today was that hit Sean Taylor layed out against some Detroit Lion this year when Rock had that big kickoff return.

My first thought when I saw that was "Wow, what a hit!" But then I thought about how Taylor, undoubtedly a star on the team, had no issue with playing special teams and laying it all out there.

My god he really laid that guy out too

Wicked shot

I'm really going to miss those shots, they were always shots that made you stand up and say wow

[quote=redskinsfanatic;385891]he was the best hitter in the league since ronnie lott.i never so anybody play safety the way he did,i mean the guy had no fear on the field.i hope the redskins retire number 21 at the last home game this season.seeing anybody else with that number just could never be the same.[/quote]

Looking at some of his most memorable hits, I really think if Taylor was able to play a full career he would have gone down as the biggest hitter the league has seen, right up there with Lott, perhaps even better.

Always kept the opposing recievers' heads ringin! what else?

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

For the past 4 years when Taylor was out of a game and we got burnt on a play. I would always think to myself "that wouldn't have happened if Sean was back there". I've thought that a lot of times in the last two games. He was a special player. The fumble return against the Bucs in the playoffs. Who else for the skins do you think could have been running full speed and picked the ball up on a bounce and ran it back? No one is the answer. His leaping ability and coverage range was unbelievable. I always knew on a deep pass there was a good chance something good would happen for the skins. Becuz 21 was always back there. A talent like his is extremely rare. The skins will never have another safety with his ability.

THANKS SEAN FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES! I'LL ALWAYS THINK OF WHAT COULD'VE BEEN IF YOU WERE PLAYING DEEP FOR THE SKINS.

Probably the time he spit in another players face...

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

I still can't believe he is gone, just thinking about him makes me teary-eyed...it's all so surreal. I'm going to miss seeing him play against the likes of TO and Randy Moss. I'm going to miss our enforcer.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

I got to see him his rookie season in St. Louis and all I could think was how much of a beast he looked. People always said it but until you saw him in person you would understand it.
The greatest memory would be last years Dallas game. I was getting ready to shut off the tv cause I could not take another Dallas loss. Some reason-I guess due to me being such a die hard- i left it on. That was one of my most happiest, excited, and whatever all in one as a Redskins fan. Thank You Sean.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

Memories of His Hits.
Pow!

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

I will miss that excitement that Taylor brought to the game. you know, that feeling that he was gonna make something happen either by big hit or INT-and the other team knew it too. I mean, ST was a scary dude.

biggest play i remember has to be that blocked FG against Dallas. I had that all too familiar sick feeling in my stomach when Whitten got behind archuleta for that catch. I though , man here we go again. But then taylor scoops up that loose ball and GETS FACEMASKED and never breaks stride. I've never seen that in my life. Can u imagine the bedlam in fedex if he would have scored on that play?


biggest hit is a tossup between that monster hit he put on patrick Crayton, and the way he blew up Pittsburgh's Willie Parker a couple yrs back.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

my favorite moment among many was at the end of the skins-panthers game in 06' i was at the4 game and he picked off Delhome to end the game and threw the ball in the stands were all going to miss u so much sean

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

My favorite moment was one he wasn't directly involved in. Back in 04 when we were playing the Eagles and Pinkston whiffed on a pass over the middle because Ryan Clark was bearing down on him. You KNOW he thought it was Sean Taylor!

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

Mine is when he made the pro bowl I was thinking he does not know how to play in the pro bowl. Then he leveled the punter and I just smiled knowing I was right. The reason I say he does not know how to play in the pro bowl is because he did not know how to play football at 75% or how to hold back. He played 100% all of the time.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

My favorite memory of Sean was in the game against dallas in Dallas on a monday night in 05 Right as I thought it was over (now yes this was after the first santanna moss TD) with that pass to the outside all of a sudden Taylor came up and took that reciver to the freaking woodshed!

And this is probably why you should stop talking.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

My favorite thing about Taylor was his passion for the game and the way he hit other players, he brought so much excitement to the game.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

Okay, normally I'm a big sportmanship guy and believe hard play needs to stay between the lines and am never a fan of cheap shots BUT...

The Skins were playing the Eagles (not sure which game), Owens has just dropped a pass and is walking back to the huddle - As he walks past ST, Sean just smacks him upside the head with a wicked forearm shiver. Owens just took it like a beaten puppy - you could almost see him say, "yes sir - please may I have another". Unfortunately, the ref was standing right behind ST and flagged him for it.

As I said, normally I don't condone this stuff at all and I probably shouldn't look on that moment fondly. But I guess my disgust for TO runs that deep and I just loved how ST beat the crap out of him.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

Sean Taylor played every game in top gear...he always left it all on the field...he brought an excitement and an energy to the game that was such a treat to watch...I actually didn't mind so much when the Skins were on defense, because I knew I was gonna see ST layin' the wood! :headbange

RIP, Sean...you'll be missed... :(

I remember that play as most here do but just so you will know. That was after the 2nd Moss TD and it was 4th down (I think) and Dallas was trying to score to win the game. Taylor leveled the guy and game over.

I think you're talking about Crayton...the poor guy probably still wakes up in a cold sweat over that hit... :laughing2

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

Denver in 05 he came up to the line picked up tatum bell, and planted him with a body slam.The fumble recovery against Phillybto get in the playoffs.-- Knowing that you have a ball hawcking saftey in your secondary for the next ten years, thats what Im going to miss as a player from #21. The great hitters in NFL history most of them carry a quiet dignity, and administer punishment. When god made football players he modeled them after sean taylor.

Re: What is your favorite thing and the thing you will always remember about Sean Tay
 

My favorite thing was the way he hit. Especially the hits he made on T.O and oh my goodness what he did to Moorman in the Pro Bowl!!! I will miss you Sean!
