Re: Retire #21
I think that they should retire his number too! I am devastated as well. I really can't believe this has happened and feel like this is surreal, similar to how they were explaining the sentiment at Redskins Park. He will be greatly missed as a person and a player. I feel deeply sorry for his family and friends as they lost a son, a father, brother, fiance, a friend. He is irreplaceable and I know that we will never forget his play on the field as fans and more importantly the person he was becoming. I love the way he played, the sky the limit for him with his tremendous talent (he was having his best season ever and a sure pro baller as well though that is extremely minor in respect to this horrific heart piercing tragedy) and I loved the way the Redskins players called him Sean "BIG HURT" Taylor. I know that he will always be in our hearts.

Re: Retire #21
I agree that they need to do something but there is one thing that Snyder really needs to do. That is to put a very large bounty out for any information leading to the arrest of ST killer.

Re: Retire #21
I also favor the idea of one of his closer friends on the team wearing 21 for at least the next game, and then officially or unofficially retiring it.

Re: Retire #21
I have created a petition for us to sign in hopes of retiring the #21 jersey.

It think it's appropriate in a tragedy like this to call for Taylor's number to be retired, but I would prefer the organization keep to their traditions and simply take his number out of circulation like thay have for other Redskin greats. If CP or Santana wore his jersey for the remainder of the season in tribute, that would be very fitting as well.

Re: Retire #21
I disagree with retiring his number... as had been said by several others.... to many greats have not had that. Many players for different reasons have had incredible tenures with the team, only to be cut short by injury etc. I do agree that it should be worn by Portis for the remainder of the season. If memory serves, Portis had lobbied hard for us to draft ST back then.
After that, I think it should be out of circulation for several years, but not retired. Many numbers have been out of circulation are occasionally worn by other players... i.e. 42 & 49

Re: Retire #21
Even if the front office doesn't retire the number I can't believe anyone would wear it.

Re: Retire #21
Certainly in the current environment there will be a lot of calls to retire #21. I don't think this will occur as there are many numbers the Skins should, but do not, retire due to their unofficial policy against this act.
I think they should shutdown the number 21 for a few years, then draft Anthony Leon, Sean's cousin who plays safety for FSU, and give him number 21... |

Re: Retire #21
We could set the example and retire #21 avatars after 21 days.
