Question re: ST at WR in week 1

One of the more interesting and unexpected sights in week 1 was Sean Taylor lined up at WR in the red zone.

I haven't seen it since.

Was this just a smoke screen? Was it seriously considered and scrapped, once it was clear our offense was just fine without him?

It was just something to throw off the defense.

I dunno, the replay of that series shows Taylor running a quality route and turning back to the QB looking for the ball.

He could have been a decoy, but I doubt it.

I think the offensive staff saw something on tape (the Bears smallish corners/safeties) that made them think they could get a favorable matchup down there.

Besides, didn't they say ST has something like a 11' 6" vertical?

Im pretty sure we haven't seen anything like it since is because ST has not been 100% healthy. :gaintsuck

As important, if not more so, is that the entire secondary has been decimated with injuries. I would think the staff thought it wise to not risk injuring Taylor by playing him on offense while the depth on defense was so limited.
