Well...since I was mentioned a few times in this thread let me clear a few things up. One, Boulware and Dockett were both Noles, and should NEVER be confused with Canes. Thats as bad as saying that Darell Green is a Cowboy.
Second, Im not sure how they decide on rookie of the year. Vilma and Robinson have the best stats. But Taylor is the type of player that is in on everyplay, and makes players think twice about what they do and call. AKA, Pinkston looking both ways before crossing the street. Also, we had a top ranked defense, and Taylor had more to do with that then most people realize. We dont have a steller dline, so we blitz with our corners and linebackers. That only works with a stud safety. Taylor is one of three players in the league that is a safety that can probably line up with any receiver in the league.
But with all that being said be probably wotn get the award. DJ Williams is also up for it, another Cane who is turning out to be a beast. Taylor will however begin to take over aging Brian Dawkins spot as a perennial probowl safety
