Horton stepped in and owned. Now, it's time for Rob Jackson!

I'd rather have Evans in there this week anyway. Dallas would probably abuse Taylor in the run game this week and we need someone over there that can hold down the point of attack.

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;479707]I don't think it's as big of a loss as we think. Don't get me wrong, JT has done a great job for us thus far, but I have a lot of faith in D. Evans' ability to step in and play well.[/quote]

Great??? I'd say he's been average. For the money he's making it's probably below average and we probably could've gotten the same or better production from Evans as a full time starter. But we do need him back ASAP cause if Evans gets hurt then we're really hurting.

I hope it's not a hairline fracture or something to do with the bone. If it was just a deep bruise, I doubt they would have already ruled him out. What other kind of injury do you get from getting kicked in the leg? I'd rather have him healthy down the line than 50% all year. And let's face it, these next two are going to be wars. And Heyer, what's up with that? It better not be disciplinary action for his penalty. Great to have Jansen ready to go.

The way Zorn explained it was that blood was pooling up within the muscle. It was a serious issue because it could have caused nerve damage. The procedure was minor. They just had to cut into the muscle to relieve the pressure. Jason will be fine.

I wouldnt say Great, but very good. He had 3 pass deflections against AZ and a sack in the game before that...this all while he was playing hurt.

Re: Jason Taylor's Game Streak Comes to an End
 

I agree with skinsfan69. Taylor has certainly done some good things here in the three games, but I'm just not seeing a pro bowl caliber player on film. I'm seeing an upgrade in the pass rush, but we really sucked against a poor running game this week.

All valid points. I think, however you have to respect Arizonas passing game so much that it's hard to shut them down completely. After watching the game again it seemed like most of edge's yards went to the right side of our line. Having said all that, for 8+million/ year and a 2nd and 6th round draft picks, you'd expect more. I say lets let him heal up a little before we make the call. I love the guys behind him too, I think Evans could start for some teams, Wilson is a good edge/speed rusher and we havent even seen James yet who I think can make a big impact.

Saw an interview with Taylor last night. He was on crutches. He's definitely out. :(
