I think Taylor's regression is first and foremost a coaching problem. The ESPN article a few weeks back with the "anonymous player" that comment quite a bit on the secondary and the coaching staff issues there I think really highlighted what's going on. Two separate coaches for the CBs and Safety's, neither units meeting together is just the start of the problems.

I've seen enough solid play from Taylor over the years that I'm not worried in the least bit. Hell, he's the only player on the defense I think should definitely be kept on the team.

What do you expect of a guy playing on this defense this year? He's working with a guy like AA who can't cover his own shadow, then with various backups at safety and CB who get changed like a dirty t-shirt. He's got Rogers playing CB, who apparently has bricks for hands, and then Springs who's only there half the time, so the rest of the time it's a backup of some sort. Next he's got linebackers who are abysmal, and a D-line that is letting the opposing RBs get 10 yards downfield without ever getting a hand on them.

What do you honestly expect one guy to be able to do with that kind of talent around him? It's really remarkable he's not worse this year if you think about it.
