But rarely does one guy get 3 receiving TDs exposing the same position over and over again in the same game. With an NFL ready 6th overall pick playing the opposite safety position, that just shouldn't happen.
So my question, is Sean Taylor really that much of an unbelievable force, or is our safety depth just that miserable?

No man, this isn't an either/or thing. It's both. Taylor is an unbelievable force, maybe the best safety in the game or at least tied w/ Sanders and Polemalu (how the f do you spell his name?).
And our backups to ST mostly suck... Praylow not big enough to punish a guy like TO, same w/ Fox, and Doughty (obviously) is still wet behind the ears.
That said, I think GW fucked up today! Landry should have been shifted back to FS for the whole game w/ Praylow or Doughty switching at SS. Landry is faster than both, much bigger hitter, and was best FS in college last year easy. Williams still doesn't think a rookie can handle the big show, I say he f'd up today. Landry in FS all day and TO would have been drilled on at least one of those TD's.
