Sean was different. I remember early on I was not a huge fan of his. I unknowingly thought he was a selfish player, out for himself, did not care about anyone else. I constantly was finding myself hoping he would not be another Ray Lewis. But then you watch him play. He played so hard, he always gave 100%, never quite. I started to admire the guy, I found myself telling my kids that is how you play, square up and hit someone, you cant play with fear. Then this pas preseason I went to camp with my kids and I payed special attention to Taylor. I saw the focus in his eyes, I say the enthusiasm and the love he had for the game. I did not have to talk to him I did not have to shout at him, I just knew by looking at him. Seeing him in person and watching the MEAST play ball is simply amazing. It would be hard to lose any Redskin in these circumstances no matter who it is. But maybe it is the fact we watched this man grow before our very eyes. I feel bad that I ever judged the way I did, I am glad however to have seen the error in my ways and realize that Sean was more than just a Redskin.
