Sean Taylor Memorial week 11/27

I look back at Taylor clips frequently, because it brings me to a place where I knew that I was watching the evolution of the greatest safety ever. What struck me watching Taylor clips recently is that almost every one of his big highlight hits was led by a shoulder or forearm BELOW the helmet, which would have been clean by today's highly scrutinized standards. Some guys have to lead with the helmet to be intimidating. Getting hit by #21 scared the hell out of opposing WRs, because it was akin to getting hit by a car - where the entire body gets blown back. The Crayton and Brown hits are two prime examples of many such hits that Taylor had. I still imagine - how good would he be today at 27, just coming into his prime years?

Yes, I noticed that too.. Taylor has big advantage due to his unique size and speed.. It is hard to believe that he was still young and did not even hit the peak of prime years..

I was at the Buffalo game when the defense started in their missing man formation and almost got burned on it, and I'll be there Sunday to see what, if anything they do. I have my Redskins beanie with RIP 21 on it, and will wear it proudly. It's nice to look back and reflect on what could have been.

Watching that vid, you forget what a Complete...Natural talent ST was. If anyone embodied playing for the pure joy of it....it was he.
Love Ray Ray with the 21's under his eyes......

Still remembering him and his family. During this sad and tragic anniversary.

MAYBE Seans father........got his wish?

only he could say so ...but hopefully there are others who were similarly impacted and if so, maybe he is

thanks for the well wishes everyone, i'm not really a "sharer"(lol) but i thought i should because like some others i'll always remember 21

Well it's not that, I just don't miss him. I mean it was sad when he died, then yeah a year later, but what is this, we're going to have a memorial week for the rest of our lives? I just don't see the point that's all.

i say if you dont like it just keep it to your self why worry about everyone else does or thinks

It pains me to talk about Sean. His spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved him most. The Warpath will always celebrate the memory of his passing and I'm happy to be a part of it. Continue your RIP Sean Taylor, we love you and we miss you.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody....

Likewise

Sean still gets to me sometime. Every once in a while, you have that superior athlete that if can stay healthy, you can see will be a hall of famer. In the time i got to see him play, he played his ass off on every opportunity. He set the tone. He was a playmaker.

It is sad to think of what his career would have been. Sad to have a life cut short so soon.

stay thirsty
