Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Shawn Springs the cornerback covering on that play?

I agree, Beemnseven. Taylor damn near came back and made the play, while Springs Jammed at the line but then let the receiver go. Taylor was, after all, covering Keyshawn Johnson, and to his credit broke off of that coverage as soon as he recognized the deep pass. He was only a split second too late to either cause an incompletion or make the tackle. Springs was on the wide-out all the way and just got burnt. My argument is that they should have stayed with the blitz, which had been working so well, and not given Testaverde a chance to drop back and throw that perfect pass to begin with.
