Best Safety in the League???

[MTK]

Taylor may be prone to biting on playaction (not uncommon for most young, aggressive players) but he's certainly better in coverage than Roy Williams.

Look I agree both have coverage problems and taylor can be call better at coverage not because of his recognition but because of his recovering speed.

Now I don't agree when somebody says taylor is the most feared Safety in the league (and I know you're going to name the hits on Gleen and Clayton so don't bother) because there're other Safetyes known for their vicious hits Wilson,Dawkins and offcourse Williams who even before Taylor arriaved was and still is considered as the most feared hitting safety in the legue and it's what has giving him a spot in the past 3 Pro Bowls. Didn't you saw the hit he layed 2 Chambers Yesterday.

Just ask TO who is the Safety he most respects and as someone said about taylor that holt allways tries to see where he is the same is said about Williams.

I'm not saying Williams is the best safety at all I believe that place is for Ed Reed and polamalu going second I believe he is in the top 5 he has seen lost the past couple of years since Woodson got hurth and retire because he doesn't have quality coverage help (no real FS) and is trying to be and do a lot more that what he's asked for.

When he played best is when he was closer to the line and covering the middle passes and Woodson covering the long ones that's how no WR wanted to go to the middle.

But anyway, Taylor has a lot of potential and talent but he should be further in his development I don't know why some say that Ed reed, Polamalu or Williams are older or anything they only been i nthe league 4 years (polamalu 3) and they all we're selected for their Pro Bowl on their second year and consider top class since those years.

He is good can be great has the speed, talent and abilitty he just need to be more consistent I can see him in the pro Bowl next year if he continues playing and developing.

Your point about Roy Williams being more agressive with Woodson behind is well taken. When they beat us 27-0 in the ice, I was there and Williams was playing the 8th man and had Hasselbeck totally unnerved. He is not as scary when he is away from the line.
I would repeat that there is no safety in the league that I would trade ST for. No one. My objective rating would be #3 (with a bullet) NPI. Behind Reed and the Bears guy who he should surpass in the next two years.

I definitely think Taylor is the player I would most like to have but Polamalu and Reed are close 1 and 2 at safety. I think Reed is probably #1 but Polamalu makes so many plays that its hard not to put him right up there.

I watched a lot of Steelers games this year and this guy is chronically around the ball, picks, fumbles, hits, and breaking up passes. The guy is simply a gamer, and a very very well rounded player.
