JJredskins00 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I heard this from someone else, but what an emotional tribute it would be if we played the first defensive play without a free safety. If the Bills threw deep, well then that would be low of them. Some of you will say this is a terrible idea, but I think it would be a fine tribute.

Henry Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I wouldn't mess with the game itself. I think they should just paint the 21st hashmarks black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Agreed. I think it'd be a phenomenal tribute to Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjan76 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i'm all for some sort of ceremonial play, but not this. only send 10 guys out on the field? worst defense ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't mess with the game itself. It'd be symbolic. We'd play without the FS and the Bills would know that and call a vanilla running play or something not near the vicinity.

emor09 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 maybe Portis wearing 21 and lining up at FS...but not 10 guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuraitengai Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 well, pete carroll sent his FG unit out and lined up with no kicker as a tribute to their kicker who died. let the play clock run out, took the 5 yard delay of game, then kicked. we should send out the defensive unit with no FS. maybe coordinate with the bills for that one play, let them snap and spike the ball. then let them either accept or refuse the 5 yard penalty. at that point, i dont really care. it would be an awesome gesture.

Perhaps there would be some sort of gentlemen's agreement, who knows, it won't happen, but its just a nice thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'd like it to be ceremonial in nature all the way not a part of the actual game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Shot Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The symbolism in doing that would be EXTREMELY powerful. I think they should do it. Awesome idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins4ever Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This would be a great tribute to Sean. Just have LaRon play the center of the field with just ten guys on the first play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
“Misdirection” Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i think it would be a great tribute, and i believe that we could coordinate something with the bills, i believe they understand i.e. kevin everett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe symbolism of this would be amazing and it would make a huge statement about how much we are missing sean, but despite what happens you still have to play football to the best of your ability.

FunBunch7 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I rsponded to an earlier thread on this... We line up with 10...the Bills get set up and committ a delay of game penalty...and we decline the penalty... This would be a 30 second tribute to ST.

Evilskinzfan47 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I like the idea.Sorta like the missing man formation we see the Blue Angels and other military planes fly from time to time.Play with 10 men on the field for the first defensive play.Cause we'll have 12 on every other play.Even if you cant see him.He WILL be there.

pennstate10 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I like the idea a lot. There was a high school team in PA (Southern Columbia, numerous time state champ in the 1990s/200s) that had 2 defensive starters drown during their preseason camp. They began all their games with 9 players on defense. Reaction of the other coaches was interesting. One or two tried for the big play, one took a knee, but most ran a simple off tackle. If the Redskins did this, I would be astounded if the Bills tried to take advantage. They are the epitome of a class organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyskins Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 These are some terrible ideas I've been seeing. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of tributes that make sense going on on Sunday. Let it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgGold75 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Like the idea...but it would only beg the bills to take advantage. In the macy's parade VT had a missing drummer in their formation to show respect for a victim of the VT tradegy. This is not the same but like the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplohmillers#1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Missing man formations work on flyovers not football games. Decals, moments of silence, retired numbers all make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxbigj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Nice idea, but I wonder if ST would want Reed to level someone instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It wouldn't mess with the game itself. It'd be symbolic. We'd play without the FS and the Bills would know that and call a vanilla running play or something not near the vicinity. Asking the other team to waste a down is more than symbolic. That is messing with the game. Respect the game. Play your 11 guys against their 11 guys. There are plenty of ways to honor Taylor that don't require changing the way the other team calls the game. Portis changing his number to 21, for instance. Having all the players wear 21 in warmups. Keep a team captain spot empty for the coin toss. But doing something that effects the outcome of the game? Nah. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't like that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel25 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i think it would be a great tribute, and i believe that we could coordinate something with the bills, i believe they understand i.e. kevin everett you're right, maybe they line up with out a TE and we both go with 10 men for the first play. to the OP, it's a decent thought. it crossed my mind even though i don't think it will happen, don't listen to the people talkin about how stupid it is. whether it's this or somethin else, i wouldn't be surprised to see an extreme gesture by the skins or any other team.
