Chris Mortensen:best defensive rookie in the NFL

harry(DC): Have you seen sean taylor? he's a monster! the redskins were definitely the wiser to choose him instead of winslow. his attitude wouldn't fit well with a gibbs team. which rookies do you think will have the most impact on defense?

Chris Mortensen: Sean Taylor is hands-down the best defensive rookie in the NFL and he may prove to be one of the best players, regardless of position. His personality is puzzling but we have to judge him on his field play for now.

It is soooo nice to finally be right about a 1st round draft pick and watch everyone else eat their words about how we should have taken Kellen Winslow.

I dont think I've been as excited about a rookie being this good in a long time. I remember the excitment when we drafted LA and Samuels, but I dont remember them playing with such a "nasty" streak like Taylor has right out of the gate.

His personality is puzzling

he's quiet and he wants to win... he also likes being left alone.

IMO, There is nothing puzzling about that!!! :iamwithst

That Guy: I was just joking about the smily face guy, I thought it was funny!!

I remember lavar having a bit of a nasty streak at the beginning but he had no where near the production Taylor has provided this early in his pro career. It's kinda scary thinking about how well and how much he's done so far when u take into consideration he has only played a half at the most during any one game. I was one of the guys who would have been happy with either taylor or winslow though I was leaning a bit towards winslow as the last peice to make our offense dominant, but Taylor has vastly exceeded my hopes for him at this point in the season and I am glad the FO didn't go with the popular way of thinking among football "experts."

KWII was pissed off about going to the loser browns more than anything i think... washington was a team with a high pick that almost has a lock on a winning season, plus washington DC has a lot more local endorsement money floating around.

Either way, he's an a$$ and taylors a monster... how's this for a comparision:
Sean Taylor - 3 ints, 3 passes defended, 2 FF, 1 recovery, 1 TD, 8-2 tackles/assists
Kellen Winslow - 2 catches, 35 yards, -15 penalty yards

hmm...

if taylor doesnt improve as a rookie hes still the biggest playmaker we have on defense, but hes only going ot get better.

Theres one big thing that is going to change about him that will make him even better, HES GOING TO PLAY THE ENTIRE GAME!!!

Just imagine if he had been playing for more than a qtr against those backups, he would have eaten them alive.

I think Taylor is a gifted player, but before proclaiming him defensive rookie of the year I wanna see him in regular season. I think he'll do very well, very very very well. I just think we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves.

In Winslow's defense as far as stats, how many balls have been thrown his way? 2-3?
