Yeah that was good return too. He made some guys miss.

I am amazed at the number of plays #21 is involved in the tackle or "on the ball". he has incredible ball sense. It was good to see the Rock get the return

VTSkins897 · 09-18-2006, 09:31 AM

it was a good return matty for sure. made the score look a lot better than the play was...

i agree though, taylor single-handedly tried to give the O a chance to tie.

brunell would have none of that and demanded that roy williams take the ball instead.

lemar is the man too. rest of the D is pretty quiet.

I guess things will be better when we get our best offensive and defensive players back.

dmek25 · 09-18-2006, 10:53 AM

somebody forgot to tell me shawn springs was our best defensive player

VTSkins897 · 09-18-2006, 10:55 AM

Lol!

Seperately, Sean Taylor laid the wood tonight! I can't imagine what our defense would be like these first two games without him in there.
I honestly didn't believe he could get in the head of player T.O.s caliber, but on a couple of occassions T.O. heard footsteps and short armed a couple of balls.

Kudos to these two studs on our defense.

Agree. ST is a beast!! I feel blessed that he's a Redskin every time I see him play.

Question - do you guys feel Sean Taylor being in on so many run plays is a good thing or not?

They showed a replay of one of his tackles and he was pretty far back and before you knew it he was making a hit around the line of scrm.

It's part of being a Safety, but yeah ideally our D-Line/LBs would be stopping the run at the line...last night was bad man. the cowboys were supposed to have a weak O-Line!

ArtMonkDrillz · 09-18-2006, 01:37 PM

It's probably bad for the most part, because it means that the running backs are getting past everyone else. Now, if he's coming up and making the plays at the L.O.S., that's good, but it could lead to him getting burned by play action at some point.
Basically, I have no idea.

12thMan · 09-18-2006, 01:38 PM

I don't know, but a lot of his stops seem to be right at the second level. You know, in the general area of the linebackers. Sometimes he's even in the backfield.

BDBohnzie · 09-18-2006, 04:23 PM

On Glenn's long TD catch, it seemed to me that one of the DBs on the right hand side of the field bit on something and didn't drift back...hence leaving Taylor to come across and Marshall gasping for air...

Stacks42 · 09-18-2006, 04:49 PM

S.T. "the grim reaper" is by far our best player, he hustles and is always around the ball, He has probably had 3-4 turnovers for our team over the past 6 games. Too bad the offense sucks and can't score, I guess we will just have to leave it up to him to be our most explosive offensive and defensive player.

There was a bright spot last night? I guess I'm just a "glass is completely empty" kind of guy after that game.
