It's the standard Redskins hate/hype that is to blame. Look how it effects people too. There's a guy here saying Sean Taylor is worst than crackheads now :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he (Taylor) should have never put himself in that situation, and that he really likes Sean as a person but he knows better. Plus, he mentioned that Taylor was informed early in his rookie season that "you don't embarrass the Redskins nor yourself"... Daniels implied that eventhough he believes that Taylor should be here with his teammates, if he doesn't respect the team, Coach Gibbs and the organization then he doesn't need to be here. ... that was the basic gist of it. To me it seemed harsh, but was straight forward.. besides what we say as fans, you can't argue with the disappointment with his teammates (the people that he goes into battle with week in and week out).

CaliforniaSkin Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Honestly, it hasn't gotten all that much media attention out here (CA). I suspect that A) it's gotten a ton of attention in the DC area for obvious reasons, we tend to pay more attention to it than we did in Doss' case, and C) a lot of the extra attention has been due to the fact that Taylor already put himself in the news by not showing up to practise and not returning Gibbs' phone calls.

Leonard Washington Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 its ironic b/c i hoped we picked up doss back instead of jacobs. i guess these hard hitting safeties don't mess around in the streets either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doss faced a felony weapons charge and three misdemeanor charges after Akron police estimated hearing five to six gunshots outside a local restaurant May 29. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of carrying a concealed weapon and firing a weapon within city limits. He was sentenced to 40 hours' community service, fined $1,000 and ordered to destroy the gun. A 180-day jail sentence was suspended. Doss issued a statement apologizing to the court, the city of Akron, the Colts and his family. "He just wants go to back to playing football," said his attorney Jon Sinn.

RabidFan Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Taylor didn't even fire his gun....sure FLA is diff law-wise but mylanta if he gets jailtime....it sounds sad and selfish but i'd rather the FLA courts to give him 20 then us release him and he becomes the next ronnie lott or better for dare i say another NFC east team......just a rabidfan talking here in my most rabidness of ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This Doss result is very close to what we will see for Sean as well. Sean will face a stiffer penalty since the possible consequences are greater (even though Doss actually fired his gun) but pretty much the same stuff.

bedlamVR Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This is very interesting Dosses case was if anything worse as he was seen by a clubload of passers by . All the facts in the Taylor case are still up in the air . My gut fealling is he may plead or get off with the minor charge of simple assult or all charges will be dropped before it gets to court. If the NFL though treat Doss and Taylor different , i.e. stomp on Taylor handing down a major ban then there is something seriously wrong .

ChocolateCitySkin Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Taylor's already been in trouble with the league. Plus he is probably the most "butt" nasty safety I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 In the eye of the law it doesn't matter what perceived trouble Taylor has been with since entering the NFL. For all intends and purposes Taylor is a law abiding citizen without any priors and the DA will recognize this and work out a plea. There is no way that Taylor spends any time in jail over this and depending on how the plea works out he may not even get suspended by the league. What he does after that is anybody's guess btu being a big fan of his I hope it works out for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
