Cowboys Game Report Card

[sportscurmudgeon]

Sean Taylor is a head-hunter. He'll make some bodacious hits that make the highlight reels and will stick in your memory. And for every one of them, he'll give up extra yards on four or five other plays where a good sound fundamental tackle would have saved the yardage. He gave a first down away in the first half to a tight end when he went head-hunting.

Also, he was about 5 yards away from the TD pass in the endzone. Nice hustle trying to get to the ball, but that is a highlight reel play and not an effective one.

Sean Taylor has a whole lot to learn about the NFL before he is valuable. Please recall that he was the almost unanimous pick here to be defensive rookie of the year. After 3 games, the only vote he should get for that honor is from his family.
