But I never known Sean Taylor was widely known as the best one of the best defensive backs to ever play college football. Pretty Impressive especially since you got Charles Woodson, Ed Reed, Dieon Sanders, ect... His safety ranking is so off too. 24?right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 His ranking at CBS is his defensive backs ranking, which includes corners. Taylor is the best cover safety in the NFL. He's the only safety you'd even contemplate man coverage against very good receivers, though, not probably a legitimate No. 1 receiver. He's got tremendous range and takes away chunks of the field for attack against us. The flaws in his game are that he's a bit too aggressive and still has the athletic arrogance that can get him into trouble. No safety has his range or impact when it comes to taking things away from an offense. Teams simply don't test him like most safeties get tested. He needs to become more of a playmaker, like Reed, but, he's already the most complete safety in the game. He has all the strengths of the better strong safeties, and he's as good as there is at free. That combination will make him an All Pro for years to come.

bedlamVR Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 This is the same ranking scheme that puts Shawn Springs at 96 - behind such greats as Anthony Henry and Jason David . Walt harris is next at 118 AA is 128 Pierson Prioleau is 134 Ade Jimoh 162 and Carlos Rogers 187. I know these numbers are influenced by injury time to an extent but still with these rankings not bad for a team that ranked 9th against the pass in terms of yardage.

That may be a little too far to say hes the BEST cover safety. He can definetly cover like hell, but his forte is hitting. Ed Reed probably is better in coverage as of now, but the possibilties are unlimited with Taylors Talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigredskin77 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 And people wonder why we dont like when the so called experts bash the skins. People believe the crap that comes out of there mouths and stuff like sean taylor not even being in the top 5 safeties in the nfl happens. They have Charles Tilman ranked higher than him.

Dirk Diggler Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Bobby Bowden who is about 165 years old and has been coaching forever said that Sean Taylor was the best defensive player he's ever seen on a football field. The guy has coached Deion Sanders, Derrick Brooks, coached against Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, etc. All Hall of Fame guys. That's really all you need to know about Sean Taylor if you've never seen him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live4Skins Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 365-pound bench press … 34½-inch vertical jump. The guy is a stud. Pure and simple. Gregg Williams will make sure to suck out of ST as much talent in his professional career with the skins possible. We are totally blessed to have this man on our defense. As long as ST stays out of prison over his recent charges, keep his mind right, and get into TC with the proper focus, this man is going to continue to be a play-maker. The article states that he is still imature in his aggressive status. I agree but GW also knows this and trust me he's gonna make sure ST doesnt continue to be imature. ST knows what errors he makes not just mentally but physically. GW lets him know how to get into his players head to makes sure they perform to the best of there ability. Art, I too believe that ST will be in a lot of Pro-bowl games in the future. Im so excited for the up and coming season to see how they AA and ST mesh together to bring out each others talents. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 That ranking has Sheldon Brown at #1. Come on, no one is looking at that thing without laughing to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins84 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Do some of you guys not know anything about college football? If you watched any college football at the time you would've known how good he was in college. He almost single handedly beat FSU in his Junior year by pickin off 2 passes and taking one of them back for about a 40 yd. td looking like a running back on the play. Through the rain mud and everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truskinsfan18 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 HE definetly has over a 40 inch vertical, I remember when they showed a clip before a game last season and Tony S. was seeing how high Taylor could jump...i remeber it being like 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 His safety rating is not a marker of how good he is, just a statistical analysis of his stats for FF. He has significantly diminished stats because both WRs and QBs are scared to death of him. No one comes near him so how is he suppossed to rack up stats?

SkinsNoles21 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am a Florida State fan and i watched sean taylor destroy Florida state singlehandedly. As much as i hated him because he was a cane i knew i wanted him on my team because he is going to be unreal...and Art said that he cant cover receivers one on one, i disagree because he covered Randy Moss one on one.
