I have seen the replay several times and Daseal is correct on his call on the play. The Skins were playing the safeties two deep. That was #25 Ryan Clark's side of the field. When Taylor saw that Clark was getting beaten like a rented mule, he slid over to try and help. But that is a lot of ground to cover and showed up a step late.
I think it was a mistake to bench Taylor when they did. His play and confidence has suffered because of his missed time. he was peaking during preseason. He will bounce back, but last night he was step behind the plays. His decision skills and tackling were off. I blame that on lack of play (being benched).
Although he had one great play were deflected a pass out of a WR's hands.
