Taylor and Rich Seubert, in as a tight end on the three plays, had a shouting match after the game.
"Watch the tape and see what you think," Seubert said when asked about the scuffle.
Running back Brandon Jacobs stepped in as peacemaker, but admits he's not a fan of Taylor's.
"He's supposed to be a hard-hitting safety," Jacobs said, "and he is to itty-bitty backs, you know.
"He's good, I respect him, but I can't see myself taking anything from him."
"They tried to get some cheap shots in at the end," center Shaun O'Hara said. "I'm not going to say the Washington Redskins are a dirty team. But sometimes losing shows your character."
Taylor had no comment on the incidents.

If he didn't get flagged or fined for anything, who cares? Everyone already knows Taylor is a bit of a punk, but even with as bad as the team played as a whole yesterday, he was the only one who actually tried to make some plays on the defense. I couldn't care less about a mild scuffle or some smack talking if it didn't cost him or the team anything. And I think he was smart, not to comment on it after the game.

His actions guarantee that we'll always get calls for personal fouls and unnecessary roughness. That said, he was burned badly on several pass plays yesterday and missed some tackles. It wasn't ST's best game.

I agree that it wasn't his best game, but he also forced a fumble from a back who's made a point to not fumble in several hundred touches. And I think he solidified getting BS personal foul call when he spit on Micheal Pittman last year.

The thing with Sean Taylor is, the coaching staff has to find a balance between letting him loose and reigning him in. What's the point of having a mad dog on defense if you want him to be a choir boy? As I said, I couldn't care less that he gets into minor scraps, as long as it doesn't result in penalties or suspensions.
