Burgundy Burner Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Here is the story from Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AvM2fzzsB1MbN9jfVATvSE85nYcB?slug=ms-morningrush123107&prov=yhoo&type=lgns As for the Skins, who became only the fourth team of the Super Bowl era to make the playoffs after a 5-7 start, some of those on the inside are starting to wonder if something metaphysical might be involved in their stirring surge. On Saturday, before the team conducted its walkthrough at its Ashburn, Va., training facility, defensive end Philip Daniels passed out copies of a photo of Taylor that Daniels' wife had pulled off the Internet, one which the safety had signed for a fan in training camp. "There was Sean's signature, with the words, 'We want Dallas,'" Moss said. "Guys got all choked up. He's not there physically, but that reminded us that he's been playing with us all this time, that we couldn't have gotten to this point without him." As the final seconds ticked away on Sunday, Moss and halfback Clinton Portis, two of Taylor's closest friends, were talking with several teammates when one of them pointed to the video screen at FedEx Field and said, "Look at the score." Moss did a double-take. "Look how much we won by," the other player added. Twenty-one, the same as Taylor's jersey number. "Guys talked about that in the locker room," Springs said, "and they were tearing up." To Springs, whose father, former Cowboys halfback Ron Springs, has been hospitalized in a coma for more than two months, this season has been an emotional whirlwind. He has tried to cope with it all by doing what he and his teammates do best – getting physical. "I'm so sad that we lost Sean," Springs said, "but he kind of brought us together as a family. We all want to honor him, and when it comes down to it, the best thing we can do is to try to do that with our play. "Sean was a cannibal. He played this game the way it's supposed to be played. So, if you want to honor him, go full speed and put your heart into everything you do. And if there's a play to be made, make that play and plow through everything in your path."

Clinton Portis made mention of it, so thank you for sharing that with us and the team!!!!!!!! Thank you Sean Taylor again for giving us all you have, and continuing to watch the team from above Philip Daniels passed them out correct? I believe it was his wife who found this picture...

Always Remember 21 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Wow!!! Just Wow!! I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said but I too wanted to thank you so much for sharing! That is an amazing picture and I am sure that you will cherish it forever! You served as an inspiration to the team. That must be such an amazing feeling. I was speechless when I first saw the picture. I remember hearing about the autograph show and thinking "Maybe I will go next year if they have one." It just shows that you can't take anything for granted in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
