dwills1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Enough of the B.S. Do you guys think Sean Taylor will be on the feild opening day? Or even this year at all? Am I the only one worried about JUST THIS FACT? WILL HE PLAY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 No. I'm not sure if he'll even be on this team come opening day, much less on the field in a Skins uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Way to early in the process to consider. To many legal questions and not enough facts about the incident to determine if Taylor will be able to plead down to a Lewis and Lewis sentence. Also, we have heard nothing from the team.

RyansRangers Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'd say there is a good chance he will be on the field opening day....maybe not as a starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwebst1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I expect, and would like to see, a 2-4 game suspension to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I say he will be in camp and present for week one. I'm not underestimating the court system's leniency toward these guys. You and I would still be sitting in a holding pen and our futures would be far more in doubt. This is an NFL player we're talking about though. It'll all be worked out and he won't have to pay very dearly at all for threatening someone's life with a gun. Sad, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think he'll be there on opening day. I think he'll play. That being said, if Gibbs & company suspend him for a game or two (or four), i'll have no problem with that. And if that happens, ST better take it like a man......

WM_Marylander Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Unless he's playing in the next "The Longest Yard" Game. Or if the Skins new uniform is something like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Way too early to tell. He will play this season. This will get taken care of. He has some friends who obviously took advantage of his new found fame and fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzfan4life Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If he is not in jail he will eventually play. He might not start but he will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I hate to say this and I have already posted he should be cut/traded but the bottom line is he has not done anything wrong as of today. He hasn't missed any mantatory practices and he has not been convicted of anything yet. It may be that he goes to the hearing and the guys he waived a gun at not only stole his ATVs but also threaten him and his buddy in some way. so it that is how it is then Gibbs would be putting him on ice because he didn't call him back.

dreamshatterer Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 We gotta wait and see if he gets convicted or not. Florida has some tough penalties that deals with anything that has to do with guns (or any other firearms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolskin Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Another thing to consider is the NFL's own policy on ileagal use of firearms. I had heard that they have a 'Gun' law, and that they can choose to hand down suspensions , etc. when this NFL rule is violated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js161 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 F Sean Taylor if he is this stupid I don't want him on the Redskins. What has he done to earn a start come opening day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmast000 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Trade him or release him. Don't compromise your morals no matter how good the player. Take back a portion of his signing bonus as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunPortisRun Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Taylor will play..the trial will not take place atleast till the middle of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Originally posted by TheGreek1973 It may be that he goes to the hearing and the guys he waived a gun at not only stole his ATVs but also threaten him and his buddy in some way. That is if he is licensed to carry a concealed weapon. If not he is still in trouble. I wonder if he still has the alledged weapon or whether it somehow has disappeared.

RunPortisRun Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Taylor will pay them money under the table and the charges will be dropped. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 The only way he isn't on the field is if the Redskins suspend him. Which I think they probably will. I'm expecting him to miss the first two games with a team suspension, then return in a reserve role in game three. I fully expect him to be starting at FS after the bye week.

jaxskins Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 He should be suspended at a minimum of 4 games if not the entire year. As much as I like his abilities and what he adds to the team this is a matter that needs to be addressed with a stiff penalty. If you don't send a message with this then there is no hope for law and order in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySkin Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Let him play. Opponents will be even MORE affraid of him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I can see a hefty fine from the league and Sean coming into camp competing for his starting position again. Considering how the Lewis's in B-More were treated I don't see why Seaon would be facing a suspension from the team or the league unless this occured during the course of the season.... I also find it interesting that the Ravens & their fans stood by their players even though they made mistakes while they were young while Skins fans at least are ready to throw Sean to the curb....I think we should apply more pressure to Seaon now to come up here, workout with the team and become a more settled individual but wouldn't it be more beneificial to all parties involved if we were able to develop him as a person and a player for this team going forward??? I mean a person as spirtitual as Gibbs would be wrong in my opinion give up on someone of Sean's age so quickly....(If you are going to refute this thats fine but please don't mention the agents or number changes as reasons to give up on ST....get over it if you're stuck with a #36!!!!)

SouthernFan Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I love Gibbs, but he looks like a bumbling idoit this off-season. I don't know how many times I've heard his quote about Taylor being the most researched pick in the history of the NFL in the past two days. Gibbs needs to kick Sean Taylor off the team. Taylor's a fool and a thug and is not worth the hassle. Cut him and be done. Sports radio down here in Falcons town (790 The Zone) is having a field day this off-season, saying the Redskins are the worst-run team in the league, hands down. I hope they're wrong, but there's a lot of evidence to back them up. It's tough enough to be a die-hard Skins fan here in Mike Vick territory. I hope the Redskins shape up soon.
