Taylor, Moss Miss Redskins Workouts

[sportscurmudgeon]

Daseal:

Assuming that I had done some real background checking on the players in the draft last year so that I had a good understanding of what kind of person and player I was drafting at #5, I probably would have taken Kellen Winslow Jr. - - even though I don't think that TE was nearly as important a need for the Skins with a high draft pick. I just think that Taylor is a guy who will never live up to the expectations people have for him based on his physical skills.

With 20/20 hindsight of course, I could pretend now to have been on the Ben Roethlisberger train from the beginning. But I wasn't. I thought Roethlisberger would take several years to turn into anyting useful in the NFL. He was really good right out of the gate - - and he and his team won a boatload of games.

There is probably only one GM in the NFL who would not trade Ed Reed for Sean Taylor even up and that is the one in Baltimore who already has Ed Reed.

I'll go even further; I would not trade Brian Dawkins for Sean Taylor even up if I were the Eagles GM. I guarantee that I would not trade Troy Polamalu (sp?) even up for Taylor now. No way the Cowboys trade Roy Williams for Taylor even up. And the only reason I would not trade Rodney Harrison for Taylor even up now as the GM for the Pats is that Taylor is so much younger than Harrison.

And just how is Taylor going to become an integral part of this defense if he is "working out" 1500 miles away from his teammates on the DL and at LB and in the DB? Is that the new defense that Gregg Williams is creating to be sure that no one can get behind Taylor late in the game? Lining him up 1500 miles from the line of scrimmage? BRILLIANT!!! - - as they say in the Guiness commercials...
