I'm sad to see him go. He's played some outstanding football, and whenever he spanked the ref after getting that sack on Romo in 2005 (now that i think about it, was it romo or bledsoe?) he earned a place in my heart.

I wish him the best.

Let me see if I'm getting this right. We cut Washington because of injuries the last couple of years and he cost around 6mil. We replace him with a DE with nowhere near the experience at LB, who was injured last year and cost us 8.5 mil. Am I getting this right so far? MW is 31. JT is 36? JT had a bad year because of injury. Marcus had a bad year because of..........injury? And this is better because.....? And by the way. I've NEVER seen Marcus mail it in either.

I don't see anyone from the Skins saying that JT is being penciled in as a starter at LB. He could very easily end up being cut.

Well I hope not or I may start believing Vinny is keeping him here to save face. To start a guy who has very little experience at LB and underperformed last year due to injury, at least as far as we know that was the reason, and who also makes more money than the guy he replaced would be ridiculous. That would sound like we're just trying to find a spot for this guy to me. I have nothing against JT and I realize I'm still a little pissed about MW, but I could see no other reason for doing this. We're talking about gaining cap space and then thinking of paying a guy 8.5 mil to play a position he played a little at Miami? Hopefully it stays just a thought with the FO.

SmootSmack · 02-21-2009, 07:11 PM

Yeah, let's just be clear that Taylor to LB (and weakside, not strongside) is just one of many options that's being explored. Like Matty said he could be cut, or he could stay at DE. No one knows right now.

Does JT have any OLB experience?

Thanks Matty, I thought Parcells wanted him to try it, but I didnt know for sure if he did. I asked because I saw a post were I believe Smoot suggested maybe playing him OLB. I had heard he was practicing OLB in the 3-4 in Miami.

Anyway, better stop talking JT on a M. Washington thread before 53fan starts sending me hate mail

Would never happen buddy. And I have absolutely nothing against JT. If we keep him, I hope he has a hell of a year.

Im hoping we can keep him myself. I would love to see him go out 100% for the Skins

DirtyLandry · 02-21-2009, 09:58 PM

I say bring JT back another year. I believe hearing reports at the time of his injury that if not treated soon enough, he could have DIED! Couple this with the fact that his production fell off because he was asked to play out of position and said as much on the Junkies radio show. I get the feeling that Blache never wanted Taylor, but is more than willing to work with the guy. JT is obviously someone whit a lot of dignity and I could never imagine an athletic specimen and a player of his caliber ever mailing it in.

LOL Fincher looks like the meanest mofo on the roster... maybe we should stick him out there w/o a helmet and see what happens.

Little known story about Fincher, back in college after a game against WVU he and Adam Jones (yes that one) were jawing a bit, mainly Jones was talking smack and he spit at Fincher and with one punch Fincher knocked him out cold.
