Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Is there a way that we could honor Sean Taylor by marking Fed Ex Field with certain things that will always honor Sean? My idea is this... Most fields have a line that goes across at the 20 yard line...but instead of that white line at the 20-yard line, could we have a Burgundy and Gold line at the 21-yard line with the numbers "21" on both sides? That way Sean would ALWAYS be on the field with our Redskins, his memory would always be out there for our fans to see... For example: Do you all get what I am saying??? This way he can ALWAYS be on the field with us everytime our Redskins step on the field. Its a reminder of a man that we all loved...and he will always be there... Paint our 21 yard line If you all think this is a good idea...please keep this forum bumped and lets try to petition this to the team. I had a dream about this idea last night and I think its an incredible way to honor a great teammate, friend, father, and son... This way, the WORLD can see our love for him each and every time that we play.... What do you all think...? :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwanda Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I don't think the NFL would allow that. It's probably gonna disturb the refs or something. You know their lame excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 If you leave the 20-yard line, I dont see any problem with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVCChairman Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 i'm sure they will have some kind of tribute on the field personally i would like to see a burgandy and gold ribbon (kind of like VT) on each side of the field with the number 21 (like the VT is on thier ribbon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaRed Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think it's an awesome idea to always keep him on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madanomem Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 i like both ideas. we should have them do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT Smash Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I personally think that instead of the redskins logo at the fifty yard line, we should just have a big 21 written instead. Not forever, you know, but at least this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 i dont think the NFL would allow us to paint that line, only because it would hinder the spotting of the ball with the ref's and stuff.. I like the idea, i just dont seee them letting us do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think that if we leave the 20 yard line painted white like it normally is, then we should be able to paint the 21-yard line any way that we want! This is OUR home field...not the NFL's field... What does everyone else think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I like the idea of the name "SEAN" in one endzone, and "TAYLOR" in the other endzone foir this game...as well as the numbers "21" really big in the center of the field...for this game... This idea right here though is a way that we can honor Sean forever...if we can have the field painted on the 21-yard lines, then we could leave it painted on there forever...to honor our fallen hero, our fallen friend.... ...Anyone else have comments on this?

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I love the idea of the 21 yard line....its a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoshuaj Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 "This is OUR home field...not the NFL's field..." I don't know for sure but I think this may only be correct to a point. While it may be "our" field, I think the NFL is the over-riding authority for how the field is presented. At the very least for competitive purposes but I'm not sure if for aesthetics. not trying to be a downer on your idea but I highly doubt that they would want to set the precedent and thinking about it long term, I can't say I'd disagree with them.

I do not see how they can set precident over how WE present OUR FIELD... As long as the field is marked according to the rule book, then I do not see how they can tell us that we cannot paint our 21-yard lines as well... They have to know that its a memorial to honor a fallen teammate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Piledriven, I like your idea. I think it's excellent. If the NFL didn't allow it, maybe just a solid white line. Something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 And honestly, I would think that this would be something that would make our home stadium unique... for example, I could the the announcers now: "...and the Redskins have just moved the ball up to their 21-yard line in honor of Sean Taylor... Looks like Number 21 will be with them here on out on this drive!" It would be great....and its a great way to honor this man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St_Redskin Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Agree, sweet idea; however, I bet the NFL wouldn't allow it long-term. We will see, but I really like the idea! What could they do just fine Snyder? Like a fine for uniform alterations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Who knows...but let them fine us... It will be our way to show the league and the country how GREAT Sean was! How much we ALL loved him... Seriously, I would like to see this happen, is there any way that we can get this picture and idea to the powers that be???

Great idea, or even just the number 21 in each endzone and each time we score a touchdown, the players can go and kneel in front of the number. It would be a fitting tribute.

Piledriven Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I love the 21-yard line idea 21 in a certain spot in the endzone every week would also be very fitting... He deserves that kind of long-lasting memorial....one that will stand for a long time... It is only fair to Sean...because Sean LOVED the Redskins!

They have to know that its a memorial to honor a fallen teammate... again, I don't think it's "our" field per se. It may be our stadium, but I think the field itself falls under the umbrella of the league. and the precedent would be set that any team could present it's field in any manner it saw fit. and that could have both good and bad ramifications.

Bryan81 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I thinnk Sean Taylor should go into the Ring of Honor immediatly. Paint the field for this season - that will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplohmillers#1 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 1. The NFL would never allow it. 2. Petition is being thrown around this board wayy too much lateley. 3. The patch and helmet decal are excellent tributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Personally I would like the stadium to be renamed Sean Taylor Field @ FedEX stadium. And your idea is awesome BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
