its latte according to the pathers announcers.

The safety position is something that to many teams are just having their bad or slow corners play, and figure anyone can do it. I think the biggest thing a safety needs is intelligence. Look at Rod Woodson, a great cornerback that lost a step becuase of an injury then moved to saftey. Not as fast as he used to be but hes so smart out there hes always where the play is. The teams taht dont have great safeties get burnt a lot. Sean Taylor brings so much to the table for us becuase he never should have been a safety. Hes as big as a linebacker, as fast as a corner back, moves like a running back(his former position) and has so much on the field smarts. The fact that he got put at safety in miami turned him into such a dominate player. Teams have to gameplan against us now becuase of him, they have to tell their qb not to make throws when getting hit that beucase hes bigger than a receiver and will take the ball from them, receivers are going to drop balls over the middle when he comes flying at them to hit them. On deep routes now, when he double teams a guy, like TO lets say, Springs will try to run with him step by step, but Taylor will just watch the ball, jump in front of both of them and pick it off.

Look at champs stats from last year, then look at Taylors stats from what, six drives? Taylor alreayd has two pick, a touchdown, a forced fumble. Hell, our defense last year would take weeks to put those kinda stats up.
