If you recall, Sean Taylor was the guy who couldn't find the time to answer Joe Gibbs phone calls for an entire off season. That was two years ago. That's the behavior of a team captain? I don't think so.
If you also recall, the "problem" with Taylor's coverage this year was ascribed to the fact that he didn't have Ryan Clark next to him out there explaining the coverages to him after the calls amd in from the sidelines.
Don't know if that's true, but it might explain why he was so out of position so many times. But if so, is that your defensive captain? If not, then do you reward someone with a captaincy after such a poor season?

Do you remember the Eagles game last year? How about the Tampa playoff game? What about the run against Dallas this year? Without ST we would not have made the playoffs last year or beaten the hated COWBOYS at home this year (highlight of my year).
I was annoyed he didn't answer Gibbs calls but that was before he was a REDSKIN, still a Miami punk!
I'm amazed by the man b/c I think he has a chance to make a game winning play every game he plays......you can't coach that. What you can coach are coverages and techniques.
Also need a pass rush or some linebackers that can tackle. I guess Gibbs firing Linsey was a signal as to what part of our defense was weakess and underacheived the most????
