Tony McGee Statement on Sean Taylor

[SouperMeister]

Even more than being the Skins best player, Taylor was the heart of the team. His presense put fear in opposing receivers and above all, gave the entire defense a swagger every time he took the field. I don't know how the team can ever replace that.

I totally agree with Tony about the press. Even Wilbon said he wasn't surprised by the crime because of Taylor's past. When a man can't rest safely in his own bedroom, we shouldn't search for fault in the man. Taylor's past had NOTHING to do with this senseless act. It's time that the jackals in the media who called out Sean's past, even as he lay dying, start treating him like the innocent victim that he was. Sean played football heroically, but more importantly, he died heroically defending his family.
