I am assuming that Sean Taylor wasn't listed as number one because the authors were so terrified of him, they were afraid to even put his name in writing.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

The Candyman won't say Sean Taylor's name three times.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Not putting Taylor on this list is like leaving The Chuck Norris off of a list items banned from airplanes.
Over the past two seasons has anyone else caused as many people to short arm passes?

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

That is some crap. Just watch his highlight film where terry glenn and randy moss both stray away from contact with this guy.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Funny - Anquan (sp) Boldin is more feared than Sean Taylor? I think I've heard it all now. That's why you couldn't give me a free subscription of SI for a year.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

jason short and orlin kreutz? come on, im not even afraid of them

Oh god, Roy Williams and no ST?

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

goes to show what the folks at si know. they dont know a thing. ask terry glenn and randy moss which player they fear most in the nfl...we all know the answer to that...sean taylor is a mad man. I cant wait for him to hit terrell owens again. there is a video on you tube of sean taylor and terrell owens...sean seems to go out of his way to hit people like to and randy moss. Thats what you have to love about taylor damn he can hit.

you said it...is si kidding themselves or what?

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Lorenzo Neal? I believe that I saw a highlight where he was destroyed and Taylor caused a fumble by one of the best backs in the league inadvertantly. Pleeaaase...

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

i dont get the anquan boldin thing kind odd, never though a wideout would lay someone out.

I'd actually keep Lorenzo Neal on that list... the dude's a beast at FB.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Man, I swear, the Skins catch more hell from the NFL and their hoes (sport media and John Madden) than anyone else. Sean Taylor has to be one of the most terrifying safetys that graced the field... and safeties generally aren't terrifying. I bet if Sean Taylor had a star on his helmet it would have been a different story...

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

A joke. Embarrassing for the writer and the rag that he works for. More than half the list has NO REASON AT ALL to be on there, and the rest are argueable.

When I saw this thread and saw from the post that Sean Taylor didn't make the list, I figured it was typical of S.I. to slight him and the skins, but I figured the 10 listed would be cool to read and get me fired up for the season. Instead I see a list of 10 that includes a guy who may only be on the field 3-4 plays a game.

One of the 10 most feared players in the NFL is a special teamer?

****Jason Short has been in the league 2 seasons...and has appeared in 7 games out of 32.****

That right there makes the list lack any respectability. He became that feared while only playing in 3.5 games a year? I gotta see some video of how he did it....

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

I am sorry, my information may be a bit off. I said Jason Short only played in 7 of 32 games in the 2 seasons he's been in the NFL, but I could be wrong. The information I saw was only for stats, and since he posted no stats for those 25 games I thought it was saying he didn't dress...but it meant he didn't do anything of consequence.

Well, he didn't do anything other than scare the effin crap outta the other team just by being there...

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

lorenzo neal? a special teams gunner no one's ever heard of?

come on. this list is ultra-weak.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

[quote=hooskins;210270]Oh god, Roy Williams and no ST?[/quote]

The only fear people have of Roy Williams is the fear of running by his sorry ass and getting horse collared.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Well ESPN gets it.

Vote for Sean Taylor as the NFL's toughest man

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

If Lorenzo Neal and Boldin make that list then Clinton Portis has to most definitely make that list. In fact, the same game that Sean Taylor blew up Neal, Portis flattened one of their linebackers on a blitz. I mean he laid the guy completely out for like a few seconds. Was that Donnie Edwards?

Anyway, someone initimated that Sean Taylor was left on the list because he shuns the media or whatever.

Damn. Anquan apparently didn't scare The Ade last year.

The Ade is going to kick ass this year!

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

where is ajfc at when you need him?

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

I think that Sean has personally blown up at least 2-3 of those "most feared" players. At least I know he has Neal and Boldin.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Jerry Porter is tough though. Who else would be able to return to the field just months after THEY WERE SHOT IN THE ASS?!?!

[quote=12thMan;210248]Funny - Anquan (sp) Boldin is more feared than Sean Taylor? I think I've heard it all now. That's why you couldn't give me a free subscription of SI for a year.[/quote]I like how he's described as "a Hines Ward type"-and Hines Ward doesnt even make the list.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Am I clinically insane or did a Philadelphia special teams player make it on the list over Sean Taylor. I really did not even know Jason Short existed before seeing his picture right there. What are they smoking over at SI????

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

He used to beat up the writer in high school. He is still feared to this day.

Poles.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

I hate to bring up other players but what about Shawn 'Lights Out' Merriman or B. Urlacher? What the hell.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

You're right about Merriman (my second favorite UMD player over the last few years). He could have ended Holmes' career with a hit last season.

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Man C'mon I totally agree of Taylor not being in that list and putting Boldin, A ST and a Center as most feared C'mon and kreutz (center) is the second most feared player give me a break

I also don't agree on Roy Being rank so low specially under boldin Cmon I know your going to say trash about him but where not talking coverage we're talking feared and wr don't like to go in the middle against roy.

Yes some are going to say about the horse collar being the reason wr fear him but get real before last year when the hole Horse Collar thing came up you never said nothing about that and again we don't talk way of tackle we talk about hits and he puts some of the best hits in the league as those S. Taylor.

if you can be professional and don't be all media "knowledgeable" see the video it's old but I just love the editing.

That video was weak. Out of probably 50 plays, I would say only a handful of them were highlight worthy.

i saw roy williams horse collar all the time last year, they just never called it...and receivers might not like goin over the middle on roy williams but im sure they love going deep on him;)

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

people here bitched about the craptacular way in which roy insists on tackling and the injuries it causes before the rule came out.

I agree there. I mean say you're a return man for another team, are you really like, "DAMN! I better just lay down because that special team's guy for the Eagles is going to rock my nuts off!!"?

Re: SI's 10 Most Feared Players
 

Man that rule came out because he broke TO leg and you know the NFL loves to hate TO because he sell tickets and gives highlights but if TO wouldn't had gotten hurt the rule would have ever been suggested.

Other players got hurt by it like C. Taylor of Baltimore I don't disapprove the rule but it's more likely to cause injury then other type of tackles and NO R. W didn't use the horse collar last year he used a variation that was within the NFL Rules.

If anyone is going to bring the portis tackle of last year.

And anyway even if they don't like how he sometimes tackles we're discus sin feared.
