More on Sean Taylor

Sean Taylor is the man the Skins desperately needed on defense. His preseason actions have been just the beginning. There is no denying that he is a playmaker. He has made big plays in all three games. If he can continue that momentum into the regular season, then he more than makes up for the loss of Champ. Although Champ was a shutdown corner, he didn't generate game-changing plays. We all have the feeling that Taylor is that kind of guy, like his predecessor at UM Ed Reed, but hopefully better. Even Arrington, the heart of the Redskins D, doesn't make game-changing plays consistently. One or two per game throughout the entire season and the Skins could win twice as many games as last year.

The biggest risk to Taylor taking full advantage of his skills and having a HOF career is off-the-field issues and the ever-unknown injury bug. He's had a rough offseason so far that's been a little reminiscent of Michael Westbrook.
