Taylor on offense?!

MTK · 09-11-2005, 10:34 PM

Was anyone else shocked to see #21 in there on offense?

Should be interesting to see if his role continues as the year goes on, and what exactly he can do in that role.

BigSKINBauer · 09-11-2005, 10:37 PM

was a beast at RB in highschool. He does seem to be a good fit for a big WR. I hope we see more, during the game i thought I saw 21 on the field but i thought i had seen the numbers wrong. I was really really high, top Row top deck, but i was surprised by all i could see, I didn't think to much of the 21 just thinking i saw it wrong

Yeah, on Redskins.com they have an article posted. It seems that we're going to continue that... Gibbs seems to be really impressed with Taylor's athletic ability.

I like his stance! Classic!

This is a helluva idea you can stop alot of things in the league but pure atheletic ability is what coaches fear most. Randy Moss, TO, Antonio Gates these people take planning and even then they will cause headaches against less talented players.

Champ Bailey and Darrell Green had always wanted to play WR, Taylor gets to live the dream.........innovative twist by Gibbs............

saskin · 09-11-2005, 11:05 PM

For the game they used him as a decoy...but that was for the game. Who knows what's going to happen next time. I think he'd be a pretty good WR.

I don't get it. How is it that Sean Taylor is playing some wide receiver? I thought Gibbs was out-of-touch, vanilla, too stubborn to change, blah blah blah.

I guess we found ourselves that big WR we need so badly.

took the words out of my mouth Matty

JWsleep · 09-12-2005, 02:25 AM

Right Matty--no wonder they cut Dmac! Love to see him get a TD or two!

That Guy · 09-12-2005, 03:01 AM

I was really surprised when i saw it, since no one mentioned it or saw it in practice... I guess GW saw taylor's HS tape and they wanted to try it out.

I do think he was just a decoy today (you don't learn WR in one week), but if his hands don't suck, i'd love to see him play a behemoth red zone threat for us. (champ and deion both have played a bit of WR, but their hands are awful, and warren sapp as a TE was a gimmick and a joke too, and smoot wanted to do it, but he couldn't catch either).

joethiesmanfan · 09-12-2005, 08:37 AM

yeah i was watching the game with my cousin a bears fan and he pointed it out to me we were in a sports bar and the redskins game had no sound i was like hell yeah!!!!

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-12-2005, 09:57 AM

I have a feeling we could see a decent amount of Taylor at WR in red zone situations. He's a GREAT decoy. Imagine this, we put him in just to do blocking (because we all know, he's freakishly athletic) and then one day we finally throw the ball to him when no one expects it.

Daseal · 09-12-2005, 10:16 AM

The commentators said the defensive coaches of the Redskins kept hounding Gibbs to try him on offense because he's so athletic. Honestly, even if he never catches a TD he's worth it. For someone who's a safety he seemed to attract a lot of attention in the red zone!
