Coach Gibbs & his staff are all about the old school method. Taylor is going to have to prove himself before he's given the recognition.

Remember back when rookies earned playing time & most never started until yr 2 & 3. These days they start right off the bat & expect so much when they are not even given half back.

Remember when guys would play 7 - 8+ years in the league, but only start 3 or 4 of them. Some guys hung around in the NFL for 10+ yrs. Now owners want youth & that's it. They load up a contract for $40+ mil & back end the shit out of it for 7+ years knowing they will unload the player in 2 - 3 years. So guys want to make sure they front end the shit out of their contracts so they don't get screwed.

All in all the NFL has changed since coach Gibbs was here. For the worst unfortunately :smashfrea
