[VTSkins897]

of course had he scored there it would have been more than 17-14...

1. I am not a Taylor hater. I merely think he is a meathead who needs to be taught how to play football beyond the headhunting big hit that makes the SportsCenter show at midnite. He has a lot of grwoing up to do and a lot to learn about being a safety in the NFL. So far, I have not seen a lot of "growth" there and that bothers me. If he is playng like this in 2006, he'll be just another high draft pick that was wasted.

If you want to try to convince me he is not a meathead, explain how all his "agent shennanigans" and his failure to go to the required rookie seminars and his DWI arrest support your thesis...


2. What I intended to say was that I would rather have seen Pinkston score on that play and have the Skins win anyway - say 28-24. Only losers look at a play like that and revel in it being something special to them because winners have already dealt with the fact that they won and are moving on to deal with the next team they are going to beat.

SC, no offense man but I think your evaluation of Taylor is so way off it's not even funny. The guy is constantly around the ball, I've asked you about the INT he caused last night several times but you keep glossing over it. He's got freakish skills and he has clearly made strides over the course of this season. I think he's playing very well for a rookie, and safety is not an easy position to play for a young guy.

Check out out Wilbon had to say about him, is he missing the boat on Taylor too??

But the Redskins, despite the 28-6 loss, played the Eagles pretty even for three quarters plus, which is why there was so much optimism around town coming into this game. And they were even tougher on the Eagles this time. The toughest Redskin of all had to be Ronnie Lott -- I mean Sean Taylor. Taylor has a whole lot to learn about playing the position, which is why teams try to take advantage of him now. But increasingly, Taylor is looking like the most instinctive and violently disruptive safety since Lott was in his prime. Taylor is a beast, an absolute monster of defensive might. When you see opposing receivers -- good receivers -- dropping balls in open spaces and can't figure out why, Taylor is why. He's everywhere, running like a cornerback and hitting like Butkus.
Taylor turned the game around when he tipped a McNabb pass and turned it into a Shawn Springs interception before Springs got de-cleated on a play that scared everybody, and resulted in about the worst sight one can see at a football game: a player being carted off the field.

Well apparently ESPN Monday night coutdown must be losers to because the very first thing they showed for JACKED UP was Pinkston ducking out of the way. The message was that he did not want to get Jacked Up because big bad Ryan Clark was ready to paste him. Not Shawn Taylor but Clark. We contantly revel on bad plays so why shouldn't we enjoy good ones also, win or lose?

This was a pic from the Philly game, you can see the fear in his eyes. What a pussie. Tayor is the man!
