Actually, judging by the jarring hits that he has made recently - especially the one on McGahee - I think he HAS turned into the Sean Taylor of Pittsburgh.

He was never afraid of throwing his body around when he was a Redskin either. Regardless he is still no #21, not even close.

I disagree - as a redskin, he may have been looking to make some tackles, but now he's looking to put people out on the stretcher with the way he hits. There's a big difference.

Ryan Clark is no ST. Sean had speed, range, instincts and hands, which Clark lacks in all. It was not just his hits that made him good, it was the ability to cover and catch ints ('07). Ryan Clark is good for a few hits but his cover skills and speed are very mediocore.

I wouldn't dare compare him to Sean Taylor - even if I thought he was a better player. The thought has never crossed my mind - (a major reason is out of respect).

Saying he's the Sean Taylor of Pittsburgh is putting his abilities in relation to his impact on his team in Pittsburgh (and his way of playing) and entirely different than making a comparison to THE Sean Taylor.
