Taylors reaction?

[SKINSnCANES]

Q: Clinton Portis, a former teammate of yours at Miami, was lobbying on your behalf. What do you think about that?

A: "It just shows how good Miami players can be when we're around each other. We'll make good teammates. Clinton and I have a great relationship. It's all about that family relationship. I know he was pulling for me--and I was pulling for me to go to Washington--so that we could be teammates. And it worked out."

It's sinking in that our secondary now features someone who hits like LaVar and covers like Champ, someone whose motor never quits and who often chases down plays from the opposite field, someone who's 6'2 and bigger than most WRs ... I can't wait for the collisions and the INTs returned for TDs. I'm expecting an immediate impact on the D, which should be in the top ten again with any luck.

it's his instinct's that will make him a star, you can find people that can hit, and run, but they don't have the instinct's to be in the right place to do so, this kid can do that and more, once he get's comfortable he will be something else.

It's been a long time since our defense was feared. Taylor (together with Lavar) will begin to make that happen. And the crucial thing is what this does for our RUN defense. We can commit more to stop the run because Taylor will be prowling the field waiting for the pick or the big hit. And wait til they bring him on his first blitz. Williams must be super-psyched. And Gibbs showed his class and his team concept by making this a defense pick, even with a great TE at #5. Nothing could send a stronger message that Gibbs has total confidence in Williams, and total committment to top-flight defense.

I really love the Portis connection. I think that does really help with the transition.

Taylor and Lavar. Man o man.

I was kind of relieved when I heard of Sean Taylor getting drafted by the Redskins as opposed to Kellan Winslow. I just don't believe that Winslow's attitude would have fitted into a Joe Gibb's Redskins team. I feel that by Gibbs choosing to fill a position such as safety, he believes the way I do. Behind every good offense is a good defense. Having a defense that can force turnovers and force the opposing offense to punt or to settle for field goals instead of TDs, will help our offense have more opportunites to play good 'ol Redskins ball controlled offense. This is just another thing I respect about Joe Gibbs.....even though he is an offensive minded coach, he thinks about the team as a whole, and is just as deeply involved in the defense and special teams, as he is the offense.

CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEW SEASON!!!!

Well said! I could not have said it any better.
I think it is huge compliment to Taylor that Portis was rooting for us to pick Taylor a defensive player as opposed to Winslow II an offensive player.
We made the right choice.

I can defiently see Winslow with a barry bond's attitude, basically alienating his teamates with his me attitude, as we saw first hand with portis rooting to no end for us to draft taylor, you don't here anyone from the canes indorse Winslow, but all the guy's can't say enough about taylor, portis, and wilfork, both rave about the guy and his talent, and they are 2 guy's who don't have to take a back a seat to anyone. sound's like to me taylor was the silent leader of that team.

At the FedEx Draft Day Party, Gibbs was asked why Taylor over Winslow and he said "Defense leads the way to championships".

DEAR LORD - Is it September 12th yet? I will never make it!!!
