Thinking of Sean Taylor today


Recommended Posts

I remember 12 years we won 17-16 thanks to Joe Gibbs having a brain cramp with his timeouts at the end of the game. I remember Sean laying out Moorman in the Pro Bowl.  Was it dirty?Taylor seemed like an awesome player and today I will remember him. The fact he was killed by thugs in his own home is among the scariest ways to die.

Were the time outs the reason they lost? I thought lindell made the unofficial field goals right before the time outs were called?

Sean Taylor’s hit on Moorman was absolutely dirty and ridiculous by today’s standards.

Especially dirty considering it was the PRO-BOWL and there is an unspoken code about not injuring players. And Mr Bad-Ass is going to take out a punter? Not impressed.

Exactly. Sick dude, taking out a punter at the head when he’s running a trick play in the exhibition All Star game. I must have missed the last time someone got celebrated in the NBA All Star game for taking out Lebron’s knees when he’s trying to do a 420 dunk.

 

The fact that Sean Taylor is celebrated for that hit has always been super odd to me. You know even Moorman was even pissed about it. Why else run over and tell him good hit?

But did lindell make the field goals that gibbs called right before the snap? I thought he did? 

 

Yes he did.

Absolutely drilled both.

 

I was at that game and my fondest memory was after Lindell hit those two filed goals, I was watching Greg Williams, the then defensive coordinator of the redskins, standing on the sidelines, with nobody within 25 yards of him, pouting like a ten year old, having just given up the game winning drive, with a crucial pass from Trent Edwards to Josh Reed.

 

Greg Williams is the single individual I despise the most in the NFL, and I loved watching him pouting, alone.

Lol  his tenure with the Redskins was post Buffalo, right? That had to be a tough week for the Skins though..it would be like Hyde or White dying. There is a brotherhood on the field.

The hit was not dirty.  The form was text book.  Moorman did not even think it was dirty.  Moorman also congratulated Taylor on the hit.  There was not even a flag thrown.  If you are going to run a trick play in an all star game, you risk having your punter get hit. That is what happened.

People say Aaron Williams played with wrecklessness and it ended his career (i think Landry is a dirty pos)....how was Sean Taylor any different in his style of play?

RIP Sean Taylor. The best safety I have ever seen with my eyes

 

Aaron Williams and Taylor both played with what you would call reckless abandon

 

But Sean Taylor was bigger , stronger and faster than 90% of the league. Something Williams couldn't say

 

All in all Sean Taylor was a phenom who saw the game at an extraordinary level and I would put him in the HoF regardless of stats.. Williams played with the the same style just a lot smaller and slower than Taylor, which caught up to him

 

Williams was a heck of a football player and I hope he has closure in the fact that HE DID MAKE IT. He was a football players player and I respect him enormously
