Skins eyeing another Taylor?

I guess if we did sign Taylor, I guess the secondary would be pretty good huh?

Our saftey's are still pretty weak. Drafting Sean Taylor would help.

trying to clear room for bobby taylor is a huge mistake. he is old and will cost way to much. why not go after a mid-level corner instead and draft the real taylor we need. we have two good corners and an alright nickleback so why spend all this money on another corner with this high of a paycheck and us the money to help our d-line out

How much is he asking? He's good but I hope they don't overpay again.

i think that samuels is gone unless he restructures anyway.i call it as i see it,he has played like complete $hit the last two years.

Joe Bugel loves Samuels too much to let him go and if he is stubborn about it, there is no way Gibbs will let him go. Besides, I don't see us getting rid of a very good LT (those are almost as hard to come by as CBs).

I hate this move for the following reasons:

1. What about building our dline?

2. Taylor is a very good CB. True, but Taylor is getting long in the tooth and he is going to want more money than he is worth. Our secondary is in decent shape. Bauman is a solid zone coverage nickelback (he seems to have a pretty good nose for the ball) and though Springs and Smoot would make a good duo.

3. What about our dline?

4. Springs has a history of injuries and what if he goes down? True, but there is this thing called the salary cap and it doesn't like moves such as this. The fact is that Smoot's contract expires next season, we paid Springs a starter's salary with a starter's bonus, and you simply cannot afford to pay three corners starting salaries. We've already got Springs, we need to re-sign Smoot, and so I don't understand the desire to acquire Taylor.

5. What about our dline?

6. Well since we're already headed to cap hell, why not pile sh-t on top of sh-t by signing Taylor, thereby increasing our chances of winning the big one? That's about the only somewhat reasonable logic I can think of for this potential signing.

CMAN-you have an eye out for all of us do'nt you?

"Bauman is a solid zone coverage nickelback (he seems to have a pretty good nose for the ball)"

I saw R. Bauman get burned plenty THROUGHOUT the season. He sucks

Big 63, I love those Zeppelin quotes, man. I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan myself. On the old Warpath, we had a thread going in the "Parking Lot" forum about the top 5 albums you would want to have with you if you got stuck on a deserted island. My top 5 were Zeppelin's first 5 albums. I reckon yours would have been the same?

Sorry to go off-topic. I just had to show my appreciation for a fellow Skins/Zeppelin fan.
