The replay of his hit the guy was down and he took about three steps and went down and hit the runner. It was the correct call and ST did not need to hit the guy on the ground and had plenty of time to stop. If it was one of our players we would have went crazy if the rfs did not make the call.

I can concede that Taylor took bad angles, but that's because he's such an agressive player. You know who is really to blame for all the big runs? Gregg Williams and that weak ass D Line. Because our defensive line sucks so bad we have to blitz on every down. Because we blitz on every down we pretty have 1 linebacker. That leaves only the safeties to make the tackle once a player gets to the second level. I guess now the media can point to ST as the freelancer that costs the Skins games. Ridiculous. If they want to stop the run they have stop blitzing so much and leave the linebackers in on some plays, not just use them to create pressure on the passer.

Sean Taylor was responsible for the first long run, period. He took a horrible angle. Holdman was responsible for the second, and both got my vote for goat of the game, along with the left side of our offensive line. Our defensive line is crap other than Griffen, and I'm still scratching my head over the cutting of Warner this preseason. Did anyone honestly think Phillip Daniels would be an upgrade? And the cutting of Garnell Wilds. Whatever Gregg. Also, Holdman should be backup MLB, because Keary Cambell or whoever #50 is sucks. Why do we get these little punks who aren't big enough (Jared Newberry, Keasy, Campbell)? Who cares if they look good in the second half of preseason games? Rant over.
