Vi Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Good to see the man get some love... but that's a little random. He has, what, 2 or 3 sacks? But I agree... it would be fun to see him blitz more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21Knock_U_Out Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 True, he could send QBs to their locker rooms in stretchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoot Point Really Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Perhaps if they draft Laron Landry, that will free up Taylor to do more freelance stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Although based mainly on theory, just another part of the reason he should be playing Strong Safety and dominating in the box more often than he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Altough I think he is a good blitzer when given the chance, this is kind out of left field. I can't even remember ONE blitz that I saw Taylor on last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySkins Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think he's a terrible blitzer actually. To me he is waisted when he is blitzed because he doesn't get to the quarterback. Williams blitzed him a lot last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project myu Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Just a random thought.. ..everyone seems to be hyping up Landry, about how he's a true Free Safety and Sean Taylor can move into a more natural Strong Safety position.. ..but wasn't one of Sean Taylor's major selling points his ballhawking skills? His closing speed? His coverage skills? I seem to remember those being his major assets, with his size and big-hit ability being extra.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you have a safety who plays close to the line of scrimmage, plays a lot of run support and has gotten bigger lately , you would probably want to move him to strong safety a la Troy Polamalu but can actually cover TE's or slot WR's. Now in my opinion, the only person worth that 6th pick is Adams, but if he is gone get Landry at 6, a Brian Dawkins mold of a player who excels at setting people up in the backfield and would allow Taylor to be more agressive in supporting the run.

I was listening to Mel Kiper on the Radio tonight and he said that Landry's main weakness is his cover ability and ball skills. He did say that he was a phenomenal athlete, but he has trouble when the ball is up in the air, Mel said that there were times that he would get himself into a bad position and end up tipping passes right into the hands of receivers. As much as I dislike Mel, I trust him on this one, and I would rather stay away from a top 10 saftey who isn't "complete" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know.. I have a bad feeling about trying to fix something that's not broken.. Admittedly, Sean Taylor showed lapses last year but.. So did the entire defense. His scouting reports talked about how great he was in coverage and for his first two years, he actually lived up to the reports. Though not always man-to-man, he was instrumental in shutting down Randy Moss, Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, Jeremey Shockey, etc. It was just last year he looked bad in coverage..

RDSKNfaithfull Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Everytime we send him on a blitz we get burned. He covers more ground than anybody on our team and should be roaming the secondary scaring recievers. He is o.k. at blitzing Peirson is MUCH better he times his blitz better than anybody on our team. Sean just jumps up and down and shows his Blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEGSKINS Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 hes a really good run blitzer. he isnt used much as a blitzer on pass downs cause our secondary needs a lot of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWANTOBEGM Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Landry would be an ideal fit to place next to Taylor, let them grow old together....only issue is that they'll be tackling guys 5 yards past the line of scrimmage seeing we were like swiss cheese last year against the run, but I still like the idea of taking the best available player and Landry certainly seems to be the best player available at the 6 spot.

Meskeet21 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 hes like ed reed, cept, reed is used the way he should be and taylor isnt. he should be 20 yards down field before the snap and letting everything happen in front of him, this way he can use his speed and instincts to their fullest. but this wont happen in williams system cause he mans everyone up, including the safeties. and if the corner play is garbage, he'll use the cover 2, and well, we all know how that worked out last season :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
520skins Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sean Taylor getting truck-sticked in college: thats just wrong man, jones is like a full blown fullback with hb speed. most secondary personnel woulda just jumped out the way. at least he squared up n took it like a man.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoGood28 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 yeah, where is ol roy boy on that list?? I hate to say it but roy is probably a better blitzer than ST and certainly a more productive one. This list sucks. I'm going to go take a scalding hot shower now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
