The difference between last night and last year is that you guys had a safety and a cornerback get burned, we had a safety and a MLB get burned.

I guess things will be better when we get our best offensive and defensive players back.

somebody forgot to tell me shawn springs was our best defensive player

Seperately, Sean Taylor laid the wood tonight! I can't imagine what our defense would be like these first two games without him in there.
I honestly didn't believe he could get in the head of player T.O.s caliber, but on a couple of occassions T.O. heard footsteps and short armed a couple of balls.

Kudos to these two studs on our defense.

Agree. ST is a beast!! I feel blessed that he's a Redskin every time I see him play.

Question - do you guys feel Sean Taylor being in on so many run plays is a good thing or not?

ArtMonkDrillz · 09-18-2006, 01:37 PM

It's probably bad for the most part, because it means that the running backs are getting past everyone else. Now, if he's coming up and making the plays at the L.O.S., that's good, but it could lead to him getting burned by play action at some point.
Basically, I have no idea.

12thMan · 09-18-2006, 01:38 PM

I don't know, but a lot of his stops seem to be right at the second level. You know, in the general area of the linebackers. Sometimes he's even in the backfield.

On Glenn's long TD catch, it seemed to me that one of the DBs on the right hand side of the field bit on something and didn't drift back...hence leaving Taylor to come across and Marshall gasping for air...

S.T. "the grim reaper" is by far our best player, he hustles and is always around the ball, He has probably had 3-4 turnovers for our team over the past 6 games. Too bad the offense sucks and can't score, I guess we will just have to leave it up to him to be our most explosive offensive and defensive player.

It is usually a safe bet that you can get a sack on Bledsoe before Terry Glenn gets 40 yds downfield.

There was a bright spot last night? I guess I'm just a "glass is completely empty" kind of guy after that game.

They showed a replay of one of his tackles and he was pretty far back and before you knew it he was making a hit around the line of scrm.

It's part of being a Safety, but yeah ideally our D-Line/LBs would be stopping the run at the line...last night was bad man. the cowboys were supposed to have a weak O-Line!
