"transitive property"....impressive.......I agree, however, that Taylor was more able to transition to the pro level, not really because of football acumen, but his athletic prowess is what helped him so much. (espcecially covering many mistakes so early...and it still does.)

I think more than anything else, Carlos' run support will be his biggest contrib. to the defense.
