I know this topic was brought up in the Pacman jones thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.

I understand that Sean Taylor has been a "MEATHEAD" off the field (holla SC), but these comments by Coach Williams have gone a long way in quelling any concerns I had about Taylor bringing the problems to work.

Also, anytime a coach says one of his current players is his favorite professional athlete you know he is schemeing all kinds of blitz packages to feature him. If Taylor doesn't have a great year it won't be for lack of opportunities. It would have been a lot easier for Williams to say his favorite athlete is "Marcus Washington" or "Sean Springs," both amazing athletes and team players. It could also be that part of it is to boost Taylor's morale, but somehow I doubt that.

Didn't see the interview. but I agree with your assessment. I think it runs counter to the notion that Taylor isn't very coachable. After all, his coach seems to like him just fine.
