Coach Williams and Sean Taylor
Just wondering if anyone else listened to the "60 Seconds" interview with Coach Williams on Redskins.com. When asked who his favorite professional athlete is he smiled and instantly said "Sean Taylor." Then, in the "Tazmanian Devil/Grim Reaper" article someone posted a few days ago, Coach Williams was glowing in his appraisal of Taylor's professionalism while at work. I know this topic was brought up in the Pacman jones thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.
I understand that Sean Taylor has been a "MEATHEAD" off the field (holla SC), but these comments by Coach Williams have gone a long way in quelling any concerns I had about Taylor bringing the problems to work. Also, anytime a coach says one of his current players is his favorite professional athlete you know he is schemeing all kinds of blitz packages to feature him. If Taylor doesn't have a great year it won't be for lack of opportunities. It would have been a lot easier for Williams to say his favorite athlete is "Marcus Washington" or "Sean Springs," both amazing athletes and team players. It could also be that part of it is to boost Taylor's morale, but somehow I doubt that. |

Re: Coach Williams and Sean Taylor
I love those 60 seconds w/ a Redskin clips. Very interesting.
Also notice that when asked what the biggest challenge facing kids today, Williams responded 'decision making'. Ahem, Sean Taylor.

Re: Coach Williams and Sean Taylor
Taylor has the potential to completely revolutionize the safety position much like what LT did for the LB position.
I can't wait to see him this season. |

What's also interesting is that during the Cincy game I saw Taylor calling, what seemed to be audibles, and directing players some after the defense was in formation. Signs of him becoming more comfortable. |

Couldn't agree with you more on that Matty! I said before we drafted this kid that he could go down as the greatest saftey of all time, I was a big fan of R. Lott although I couldn't stand the 9'ers, but Lott was the best I ever saw, but as Matty said I think we will see thing's out of this kid that will turn him into the LT of safties, for as dumb as he may seem off the field, he may be the smartest player on it, the man may be the most instinctive defensive player there is in the game, and that includes Lewis, and Reed! |

Re: Coach Williams and Sean Taylor
If this guy can focus himself on playing at the highest level he will become the best player in football I think. He is arguably one of the top 5 or so athletes in the game. He reminds me so much of Arrington in terms of his mix of size athleticism and skill. Arrington has been a good ball player but something has kept him from getting to that next level... The Ray Lewis level. Maybe it is his tendency to free wheel it and maybe it has been circumstance but hopefully Taylor will be able to follow the path of Lewis (on the field only please) and not Lavar. I love Lavar but he has not reached his super high potential. Maybe this year he will.
