Taylor on offense?!

[BrudLee]

So jdlea, am I to understand you're not a fan of Taylor taking goalline snaps? I'm just trying to get everything straight.

For the record:

If he takes only goal line snaps I'm with that. If they become confident in him and he starts coming in to run reverses or he starts coming in to run a few routes a game from our own 40 yard line, for example, I'm against that. I think he needs to stick to the goal line exclusively if he's playing offense at all.

I can totally agree with that. The simple truth is that in today's league, there are goalline specialists. Ostensibly, Nemo is one, although he didn't make the active list this week. If Taylor is to be used in goalline or short yardage situations, that's a plus. If he becomes a 10-12 play receiver, it is exposing him to unnecessary risk of injury and fatigue, and jeopardizing our strong defense.
