Matty:

Yes. Taylor tipped a pass which was intercepted last night. Good.

Yes, he is always "around the ball". The problem is that he is often there about a step and a half late. I remember all of his "highlight reel plays"; what I don't think others remember are those plays where he didn't get the job done. Go check the Eagles 3rd Q TD drive and you'll see three such plays last night.

How long until a player has impact in the NFL? For most QBs it is a couple of years. McNabb and Culpepper and Manning and Favre all had difficulties in their early days. But what they didn't do was perpetuate the same mistakes - with the exception of Culpepper who still fumbles waaay too much.

LBs and REALLY GOOD CBs and safeties can play in year 1. Most CBs take a year to develop and most play well by year 2. Rookie RBs can ve very good as can rookie WRs although WRs may take a year to learn the "allowable handfighting" in the NFL. Rookie OTs usually have problems; rookie OGs and Centers seem to do better. Rookie TEs are just fine.

Troy Polamalu (sp?) did not start for most of last year with Pitts but this year he has emerged as an outstanding young safety. With apologies to Mike Wilbon, Polamalu is not as big as Sean Taylor so he is not as imposing, but he is the better player.

Thanks Matty! Great to see over and over.
Curmudgen don't agree w/ ya about Taylor. People being scared and/or intimidated by him is a good thing. And I do think he's improved alot this season. Ofcourse he wants to knock someone out, but like arrington sometimes a huge shot doesn't keep 'em outta the endzone. To my recollection it was the only time in the game when he didn't wrap up on a tackle.

SC, the problem with comparing Taylor to Polamalu is Taylor is a rookie safety and Polamalu is a 2nd year guy. I'd be willing to bet Taylor will be better than Polamalu at this point next year and you'll be hardpressed to find an NFL GM that wouldn't want ST over TP.

They also don't play the same safety position, but I'm not going to nitpick.

Polamalu was burned on more than one occasion his rookie year... in fact, I'd venture to say it was about the same amount as Taylor this year. I watched Troy play here at SC- Taylor has much more athletic ability without question... Sean's on track as far as Troy was concerned.
