Is J. Taylor really needed?

They combined for 6 pressures, which is a greater number than Jason Taylor's three game total.

Although Andre Carter seems to be a much bigger factor when Taylor is rushing on the other side, I'll definitely give you guys that one.

I'll say thus far, JT has looked like our most effective DE overall. From staying disciplined on screens, to batting down passes... he's definitely established himself as a solid DE here in D.C.

Do we need him? No... but does he improve our overall D? Absolutely. If he can stay healthy and continue his production, he's def. worth the number 2 IMO.

W/out looking at stats, I watched the NFL Replay and it just looked like the were running upfield or being pushed upfield and taking swipes at the QB. They may have gotten a little pressure occasionally but look how many times Romo passed in that game. It didn't look like Dal's o line was sweatin Carters opposite side.
