Bat~man Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 i think this guy will have no trouble living up to the hype , he is by far a great athlete he is a playmaker on defense and i am disappointed in the fact that he might not be playing much this year .... i cant possibly think of how he coulda performed so poor in "practice" that would wipe out a phenomal pre-season ... he was the reason we won our game against denver ...if not fir his 2 INTs we would have lost ....anyway just wanna get your thoughts on this and see if you think he might be starting this week and playing a lot or if he might be fading out this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlskinsfan Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 he will eventually be put back into that starting spot...he is an unbelivable athlete....im not worried at all about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimFolk Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 First game of the year man. Calm down. You'll see alot of ST week 2,3,4,5. He's gotta lock down Kellen,Keyshawn, Heap, & Shockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herrmag Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 He'll probably be starting by week 6, if not sooner (IMO). He has too much skill not to. However, he has a lot to learn about the NFL, and there will be some growing pains. Lott is playing well, but he can't compete with Taylor's natural ability.

KenF Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Tampa Bay went after Taylor the first play after he entered the game. Joey Galloway torched Taylor and went straight to the end zone. Taylor would have been soley responsible for the touchdown had Galloway not fumbled the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Gibbs said in his post game show that ST was in a lot of packages, they just didn't use those packages very often. I think that we will see a lot of ST this week matched up against Shockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolskin Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Taylor did not start because he is new and hasn't memorized and grasped the defense as well as Gibbs demands. Gibbs just doesn't seem to go with inexperienced players. Once Taylor passes all of Joe's mental requirements, he will be in there. We don't like the waiting, but that's just how he is.

Sea Bass Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 He'll be there to intercept Kurt Warner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I heard he was sick and missed some meetings the first of the weeks, so he didn't get the start. Sounds like Gibbs and Williams are sending this kid and the team a subtle message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I bet he'll start Week 2...He was also sick last week and missed some practice and some meetings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe we will pull a LaVar on him and he'll be starting week 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Joe Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I thought Taylor didn't start because he missed a meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 He was sick and missed meetings and some practice time. Consequently he did not see a lot of action. You miss time, you get to watch. Search on Taylor Sick and you will find the WP article quoting Greg Williams stating this fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsm88 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I also thought I read somewhere coach Gibbs saying he was going with experience or something. I know Andre Lott doesn't sound like much experience but hell he was in more games than Taylor was at his career. Throughout the season though Taylor will probably end up starting the whole game.

Gibbs did not release it to the press and kept it in the family. He will start next week unless he screws up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 seems if he is still having an issue respecting the speed of wr's, if joey had hands that was a td, he should have caught that ball, the way the other safetys played ST might be on the bench for a couple of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Its all part of the way you ease a rookie into it. I think they just want to teach him a few lessons first, maybe even hide him for a few weeks then unleash him on Dallas?? But safety is the QB of the defense, he's gotta be mentally focused, if they saw that he wasnt, it was good of them to hold him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 yeh once again, first game, plus remember, Gibbs will bench people if he wants to or if he feels they arent ready. Taylor will be the playmaker for us this year that we drafted. Hopefully he will do something against the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Concerned, but not worried. I think all the physical tools are there, and he's shown he can make plays. I firmly believe Gibbs and Williams are very carefully trying to manage his ego and attitude. This kid was getting all kinds of outrageous hype coming into the league and has had a rocky first few months. No doubt they are keeping him down, reining him in, playing the mind games to keep Sean grounded and secure. They will unleash him when he's ready.
