Taylor Gets a Slap on the Wrist

[sportscurmudgeon]

This is an example of what I said soon after Gibbs signed on here. The players will have to get used to playing for Joe Gibbs. It does not matter who you are or where you were drafted or how much of a signing bonus you got. If you break a team rule - or if you make repeated stupid plays - you will find your butt on the bench.

That never happened at Miami. And that never happened here since Gibbs left twelve years ago. But them's the rules folks. If players who think they are entitled to a starting job or to playing time don't adjust, they are going to be very unhappy campers.

Hopefully, Taylor learned a lesson. I'm not going to bet the ranch on the fact that he did because this one instance probably has to overcome a lifetime of his football abilities getting him preferential treatment that he has gotten used to. But the next time he does something like this, he'll probably "catch on".
