Taylor on offense?!

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-12-2005, 10:14 AM

I truly don't think it's the Skins trying to find another receiving threat so much as it (just as Matty said) something else to give opposing defenses to think about and plan for. Not only that, I bet Taylor can throw a hell of a block on someone.

Defenses will treat Taylor one of two ways: He will get too much respect because no one wants to get beat by a part-timer, or he will be ingored as an obvious decoy. Either way, he makes D coordinators think too much.

So jdlea, am I to understand you're not a fan of Taylor taking goalline snaps? I'm just trying to get everything straight.

For the record:

If he takes only goal line snaps I'm with that. If they become confident in him and he starts coming in to run reverses or he starts coming in to run a few routes a game from our own 40 yard line, for example, I'm against that. I think he needs to stick to the goal line exclusively if he's playing offense at all.

I can totally agree with that. The simple truth is that in today's league, there are goalline specialists. Ostensibly, Nemo is one, although he didn't make the active list this week. If Taylor is to be used in goalline or short yardage situations, that's a plus. If he becomes a 10-12 play receiver, it is exposing him to unnecessary risk of injury and fatigue, and jeopardizing our strong defense.

If he’s just a decoy then it’s worthless putting him out there. I say if you’re going to put him on offense quite a bit throw the ball to him otherwise cut the crap and let him just play FS.

Very exciting to see him on offense. I wonder how much he will be used against dallas, at least it would be great to see roy williams come up for a goaline tackle and get run over by a blocking ST!!! just wondering if ST scores a TD how would that count in a fantasy league? Defensive score or just points against other teams defense?

if you had ST, it'd count in his stats, but if he's playing on offense at the time, it wouldn't go on the D's stat.
