Sean Taylor at LB?

SmootSmack · 12-11-2004, 08:34 PM

I was watching the Redskins Report on the local NBC affiliate earlier tonight and I think I heard Sonny Jurgensen say that his game plan for the Philly game would be to have ST substitute for another linebacker (Marshall?) and spy on McNabb the entire game and have someone else (Franz?) play safety tomorrow.

Did anyone else hear this? Did I hear this right? What do you guys think of that strategy?

Yep, I saw that also. I think it would be great, but don't run it all game. I remember early in the season they put LaVar at safety one play, they moved guys around. That has to be confusing as hell. It's definitely worth experimenting!

i'd rather someone else spy on mcnugget, i like sean playing in his regular spot so he can make plays all over the field for us

Sean tayler will be a spy and linebacker on someplays. Thats the beaty of GW system. But Tayler is too good in coverage not the use that too. He'll do it all tomorrow night. Part of the reason why Sean Tayler is quickly becoming one of my favorite Redskins. Did you see him hit TO in the mouth last game. God i love that guy.

ST weighs more than MIDDLE linebacker Mike Peterson of the Jaguars. I'm sure he could play linebacker, but I prefer to see him at safety where he has more of an opportunity to be a ballhawk.

I like it and i dont like at the same time ... one way i dont like it is because of familiarity , ST has never tried this before .... i also dont like not having him at FS when McNabb is throwing it downfield ... i do like the potential, of ST frustrating McNabb on the right plays, forcing a sack or a turn over......

Isn't Sean Taylor nearly the same build as LT?

Winskins · 12-11-2004, 11:01 PM

In some situations this might a really good way of putting a good coverage man on Westbrook.

Greg Williams seems to understand what to do always. He's my rushmore!

Lt was 6-3 250, about the same size as Lavar. Tayler isn't quite that big.

I'm sure that WIlliams has watched the game film from the last meeting and has devised some way to try to frustrate McWhatsHisName into making some bad throws. I think that for us to win this game, either special teams or defense has to score.

What I hope is that what we saw last week is classic Gibbs football. What I mean is adjustment to the team we are playing. If Gibbs can look at the game film against Philly and see what worked and what didn't, he should be able to string together a few more first downs. That, combined with fewer penalties could have won us the last game. I think that the birds could be in for a hard time tonight.:smashfrea

Guys - we owned McNabb in the first half. I really think we should have gone up by 10 points in the first half. If we can play the way we played last game only keep our defense off the field a bit longer and have some actual drives then we'll be fine!

Seriously, that game was no where near a 28-6 asskicking. We were very mcuh in that game. The final score proboly should have been like 20-14, but we couldnt score on offense and then they punched in another TD to be jackasses. If we can sustain any type of offense like we did last week, I think were gonna put up one hell of a game.
