The lone bright spot..
 

SEAN TAYLOR! He played like an absolute beast. He was the only one flying all over the field trying to make plays. If you doubt me, go back and look at the game (if you dare). At least we had ONE player hustling. I friggin' love this kid! I KNOW, I know...It doesn't overshadow the vomitous display from the rest of the team, but he was the best player on the field for the Skins yesterday.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

wasn't he responsible for some of the long runs for taking bad angles?

[QUOTE=Duffman003]wasn't he responsible for some of the long runs for taking bad angles?[/QUOTE]He had a several plays he took bad angles on and had 3 tackles and 3 asist. If anyone was a bright spot it would have to be Clark with 11 tackles and one int., but this team played so bad i would take back some of the game balls given out last week.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch any of the "highlights", but one of my friends told me this morning that on ESPN they showed some clips of Taylor taking some horrible angles.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

In all honesty, I would like to see the ST replays. However, I cannot risk seeing a highlight, as it would bring me off a very expensive Wellbutrin induced bender, and put me in another suicidal tailspin. Perhaps one of you techie types could edit out the ENTIRE team except for Sean Taylor. That could be this weeks highlights?

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

Taylor did have that idiotic late-hit penalty that led to a field goal in the first quarter. At the time it seemed big, but of course, that's when the score still was close.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

How about this for a lone bright spot?

Our coverage team didn't give up any huge returns. If anything, our special teams coverage has been excellent. At least Morton didn't do much.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

i think ryan clark was the best player in that game


definitely robert royal was the worst

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

Sean Taylor played a horrendous game...bad angles on all the long runs..he missed several tackles that I can recall....He even had a costly late hit. He was awful. There is not one person i would say played well...

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

Sean Taylor played bad, but I can't count how many missed tackles I saw by the entire defense!! Maybe they all had snot on their hands, because the D could not tackle and the O could not catch or hang on to the ball. Gezzzz!!!

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

i love ryan clark. He is up there with my favorite players. Also he is underrated by our very own fans. He and sean taylor are an amazing duo at safty. Ryan had the best game by far, he was the only bright spot

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

start ryan and bowen? seriously, aren't safeties supposed to stay back and provide a net when the front 7 screw up? it seems like once you break the Dline its a home run.

Last year we gave up 1 big run all year i think, and now we're giving up 2 a game... piearce is better than marshall, lemar is better than holdman, smoot is better than the two guys replacing him and warner/evans may be a better combo than daniels. I'm just a bit upset cause our defense turned to trash against the run this year after putting up steel baricades last year.

Yea Right he played like a real winner

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

The point I was making was about hustle. He may have missed some tackles but wouldn't have had to, had the d-line and linebackers been doing their job. The late hit call was absolute bull crap. This game is getting sissy-ish.

listen dickwad. don't come here after your team wins, come before and after. Skrew you, you aren't a fan, you are a fair weather whore. I hate you people that only come after your team wins. You have no valuable opinion or you would have shared it before the game. you make real fans sick

Just click your ignore button like I'm going too. Tiki, no one cares if your a fan from another team as long as you have good points, which you do not. Dont just talk crap.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

I watched the replays. Sean T did take bad angles and missed some tackles. He also never quit the entire game and saved a couple of big plays from going all the way. He looked like a very talented 2nd year player trying to make something happen. He worked hard, but it wasn't his day either.

What really gets me is that good teams don't collapse like we did against the Giants. The Giants played a good game, but we imploded. It's time for a gut check. The way I saw it, we needed to win 2 of the 3 games starting with the Giants. We lost that one, so now we can win the next two and be fine.

Hopefully we just got overconfident after the niners (which by the way beat Tampa). Sometimes, when it rains it pours.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

That late hit call was bullony, the ref marked the ball where he stopped rolling to even after he was hit by a skin to make him hit the gound and roll and the they called taylor for a hit on the rolling giant while also giving forward motion of 2 or 3 yards after being brought to the ground.it was another bad call in a line of bad calls.it doesn't excuse they this game because there isn't any.it's a real head shaker

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

The late hit was a legit call, c'mon now guys.

The ball carrier was on the ground and the play was blown dead, Taylor came in and didn't just fall on the guy which he may have gotten away with, but instead he turned his shoulder and smashed into him right in front of the ref no less.

I don't care who you are, that's a penalty 10 times out of 10. Dumb play, dare I say a 'meathead' play?! Somewhere SC is smiling.

Talk about knee jerk... While we're at it, put in Betts over Portis, Ramsey over Brunell, and Molinaro over Samuels since they all had bad games.

FYI, Matt Bowen is [b]third[/b] string now, behind Prioleau.

exactly. If he doesn't hit him, the giant player keeps rolling and the refs give him the yardage he rolled while on the ground.

It was the correct call and ST did not need to hit the guy on the ground and had plenty of time to stop. If it was one of our players we would have went crazy if the rfs did not make the call.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

I can concede that Taylor took bad angles, but that's because he's such an agressive player. You know who is really to blame for all the big runs? Gregg Williams and that weak ass D Line. Because our defensive line sucks so bad we have to blitz on every down. Because we blitz on every down we pretty have 1 linebacker. That leaves only the safeties to make the tackle once a player gets to the second level. I guess now the media can point to ST as the freelancer that costs the Skins games. Ridiculous. If they want to stop the run they have stop blitzing so much and leave the linebackers in on some plays, not just use them to create pressure on the passer.

Re: The lone bright spot..
 

Sean Taylor was responsible for the first long run, period. He took a horrible angle. Holdman was responsible for the second, and both got my vote for goat of the game, along with the left side of our offensive line. Our defensive line is crap other than Griffen, and I'm still scratching my head over the cutting of Warner this preseason. Did anyone honestly think Phillip Daniels would be an upgrade? And the cutting of Garnell Wilds. Whatever Gregg. Also, Holdman should be backup MLB, because Keary Cambell or whoever #50 is sucks. Why do we get these little punks who aren't big enough (Jared Newberry, Keasy, Campbell)? Who cares if they look good in the second half of preseason games? Rant over.
