Is Sean Taylor that good or...

Taylor is spectacular. His range makes QBs fearful of even looking his way. The only way he gets thrown on is if the QB is dead sure his man is open. When Taylor is playing, there's no such thing as QBs launching one up and letting the WR make a play. Taylor even scared Brady from going deep to Randy Moss, the best leaper at WR in the league.

Our backups at safety are awful. As I've said previously, this is where Gibbs is to be blamed. When you don't have mid-round picks as a result of trading them away, you end up with crappy depth.

Great coaching job by Gibbs and company yesterday, but that player acquisition... yuck. So far we haven't traded any 2008 picks though, so that is very significant.

I really don't see it as a talent issue in the secondary. We got burned due to some coverage breakdowns and because Owens is simply too much to handle unless your name is Sean Taylor.
