Taylor would be ideal to spy on McNabb the problem with that is you take him out of our secondary and away from TO, I think it's more important for Taylor to provide help on TO and allow another LB to spy McNabb, I would go with Clemon's he's our fastest LB by far, perhap's throwing some 3-4 at McNabb would help with that, the way to deal with a mobile QB like McNabb is to take away his go to reciever, keep the pass rush in their lanes so they collapse the pocket around McNabb then you can have a guy like Pierce in the middle ready to pounce on him when he comes squirting out, you have to control his scrambling you can leave him an out but if he takes it there will be someone waiting for him, Richie Pettibone was a master at that, our defensive line has to stay disiplined and work as one cohesive whole, if 1 player goes out of his lane and misses which usually happen's with McNabb 1 on 1 then he has an uncontrolled escape route, but if we take away TO and force him to stay in the pocket, or run to where we are ready for him then we can really fustraight him, not to say he wont make some play's but it will continually become more difficult for him, then we have to really control the ball and take time off the clock we don't need to score everytime but we have to be able to get first down's consistantly to shorten the game which should add to his fustration of not being able to stay on the field and that's when guy's start trying to force thing's and that's when I want Taylor in the secondary, we really haven't froced team's into a must situation this season and that's when Taylor will be at his best when team's have to move the ball or their in trouble mode, Taylor should be like a lion on a wounded gazel in that secondary once that circumstance is created.
