Hail to the Redskins · 09-02-2004, 08:45 AM

One note on Taylor... check out these numbers...

In 12 games at UM last year...

55 tackles, 10 INTs, 13 PassDef

In 4 preseason games this year (which actually equates to only 2 full games)...

10 tackles, 3 INTs, 3 PassDef

That means that in the passed 16 games (really only 14)...

65 tackles, 13 INTs, 16 PassDef

Overall, can anyone remember anyone intercepting 13 passes in 14 games on any level?? I too am wary of overhype... it only leads to disappointment and frustration... so hey, if he only gets 4 picks this year, I'm OK with that... my point is ... DAMN he has been absolutely amazing in his passed 16 (14) games!!! What a BEAST!
