I don't know how else to explain the breakdown of one of the better pass defenses in the league. They played fine with starting corners out, but they apparently can't make up for missing Taylors presence. I was seriously getting pissed watching the 9th overall pick and Walt Harris getting torched by a #3 wideout.

Taylor is so fast that he covers ALOT of ground. Rarely are you going to see a guy get passed him if he is the over the top help. Plus those plays where Prioleau was late, would have probably been broken up. The plays across the middle would not have been made either. Marshall was beat bad on two plays with the TE that set up scores. Taylor probably would have laid his a$$ out!! Every player on this D is to blame. DT, DE, LBS, CB, FS and SS. LaVar leaped at the end, where I thought he should have stayed low, no pressure from out ends, or DT. Although Big Joe had some nice plays. Marcus jumped off sides which gave TB a free 1st down. every person on this Defense accounted for the loss, even good ole Greg Williams, with the horrible blitz call at the end.
