jnhay Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There are so many delusional fans around here. It's been proven time and time again that there is very little loyalty to the players. If ST would have survived and had a bad season the next year, people would be yelling for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think of Sean Taylor on occasion and what could have been....it sad, real sad. The odd thing is that when I think of the #21 I think of Mike Nelms more than Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg28daman Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I find that I think of him most whenever we go on a big win streak (not that it's happened much since his passing.) When we started 6-2 with Zorn, even this year at 3-1, I always tend to think about how "something" is missing. I know some people think threads like these aren't right, or that some people here think that thinking about someone we didn't no personally is weird, but think about what happened to us as Redskins fans (perhaps this is selfish of me.) NO other team in the NFL has had their best player, face of the franchise, get killed before his prime. It'd be like Ray Lewis getting killed in 1999, or Polamalu dying his fourth year. Sean was that guy to our franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There are so many delusional fans around here. It's been proven time and time again that there is very little loyalty to the players. If ST would have survived and had a bad season the next year, people would be yelling for a trade. Being that I am a fan of the Miami Hurricanes, I watched him play before he got here, and I was ecstatic when we drafted him. I was in awe of his physical talents. He played with a sense of reckless abandon that any fan couldn't help but absolutely love. When he was on the field, there was no flexing, there was no smiling, there was only physical confrontation, and lot's of it. He took the game very seriously, and I absolutely loved that about him. He was just a different cat. He wasn't a primadonna. He went through the growing pains that all NFL players go through before they eventually get it together. After '06, I did not want him gone, I wanted him to get better. I alsdo believe he played more SS that year anyway, causing him to be up closer to the LOS. Ever since he was drafted, I had been envisioning a fast, rangy, tomahawk cruise missile that could defend every blade of grass, and could close in on a receiver on a deep ball and make a play, when he was nowhere near the play when the ball was thrown. In '07, he finally achieved greatness. There were (and are) a lot of people on this site (including me), and outside of this site, who held him in high regard well before his death. Most fans are loyal to guys who work hard, play every play like it's their last, don't read their own press clippings, don't create bulletin board material for other teams, and make plays to help us win games. He did all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAfan47 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 There hasn't been one Sunday to this day that I don't remember him. Come to think about it there's not one day that pass that he is at least thought about cause his pic is in my back round on my phone, computer, and on my hallway wall. ST was amazing to watch play this game for us. All tho I was alive for the skins SB wins I was not old enough to appreciate the game. ST, CP, and Santana with ST being the most exciting player to watch were my highest points of excitement for me with this team and now the pieces have been taken or faded away and the excitement hasn't been so high for me in some time. ST is still missed by me and forever will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 bout as often as I think of Jon Jansen I think about him more because my little brother and cousins always talk about how many Sean Taylor hits they have during their games. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashburn Dave Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I try to live in the now and not dwell on the past or what could have been. I do wear my ST jersey once a year to a game in remembrance and he will always be one of my all time favorites but I refuse to dwell on the what if because that's just me.

SWFLSkins Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Never..... ......... Every day. .......... Not that often, but way more often than a person who's not a friend or member of his family should. Probably true. However and it is selfish, I can't help but think about how different the Redskins Defense would be if he were lining up. Sean played old school football. He was a game changer at the moment when the game seemed over. Some guys are good, some guys are great, some transcend the game not only with physical talent but with heart and leadership. When I think of Sean Taylor, losing out never comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfaninny Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think about him fairly frequently. He was my favorite modern era Redskin. The first jersey I ever bought was his #36 rookie jersey. I still wear it six times a year during division games. When I finally got to go to a game at FedEx (I live in Vermont) I had my binoculars and kept going to #21. It was the 2007 game against Arizona. One of the last games he ever played. Whenever I played Madden, I always played as #21 while on defense. I haven't played Madden since then. Plus one of my customers I deal with fairly frequently is named Sean Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 We need to stop beating ourselves up over this and move on. Taylor was special and great but he is never coming back. I don't agree with you, but I do have to say that if you feel this way, you probably shouldn't have bumped a thread that hadn't been posted in for a day. Doesn't really help you achieve your goal.

Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 When it's in the news that someone has been murdered When I hear of a young child who has lost a parent due to violence, illness, or an accident When I see #21 or #36 When there's an amazing hit in a football game When the Redskins blow a tackle, and I wish ST was on the field When Area 51 happens to come up Around Thanksgiving time, especially on Nov. 27 When a large crowd waves rally towels, it reminds me of the beautiful tribute to Sean during the Buffalo game.

Gracelander Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't ever think about him. I was saddened by his death but in all honesty he was only a football player to me. To his family he was a son, father friend etc.. they should be the one with the constant thoughts of Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
