The reason I would try to convert him to linebacker is because Sean Taylor spent a lot of time chasing opponents into the end zone this year. His tackling angles werenot always on target and his open field tackling isn't all that great unless he gets a run at a player and can try to blow the oppenent up. Go back and watch the games against the Eagles; Taylor is out of position on pass plays lots of times. Go back and watch the games against the Giants - particularly the second one; Tiki Barber runs amok because of two or three missed tackles by Taylor.

I'm not saying he's a bad player; he's not. But he's playing a position where the things that he does not do well wind up as long gains or TDs for the opponent. I think he might be much better used as a linebacker. I think that conversion would be easier then trying to teach him how to cover people and not bite on fakes so often. I think that conversion would be easier than trying to teach him to tackle in the open field instead of always trying to knock the other player out.
