I never understood why Sean Taylor is so highly admired. I dont recall him being that much better than other great DBs of his time. :lupe:
I mean..living in Miami (at the time) i knew homie was loved by the locals but the love on a national level seems to not necessarily be football related.

Here's a good explanation

Because of the effort that Sean Taylor put in. And the types of hits Taylor delivered.
A lot of people don't care if you're the best.

Take a look at this very forum.
Tim Duncan was clearly a better player than Kobe Bryant.

But Kobe has millions of stans and admirers because of the aesthetics of his game. Threads get made on him weekly.

So yeah, in the grand scheme of things, Sean Taylor wasn't Aeneas Williams. But nobody looks at Aeneas Williams highlights.

:manny:

I think Sean Taylor is slightly overrated, but was a great player nonetheless. I mainly remember him for cheap shots, late hits, and penalties. Dude could ball out, but Skins were still trash. And still are.

I don't neg much at all, nothing personal, but can't talk about my guy like that :manny:


But dude was off the charts. They said he had "piss-poor" coverage skills @Raul posted that lil excerpt
:what:? Nah fam. Piss poor is a bad word for it, but Sean was really coming into his own. His size (pause) and speed combo was what left scouts drooling. He surely was what a safety is when you think of the position. Could he cover like Ed? Nah, but had he had a few more seasons, he wouldve been close. Dude had a feel for the game like no other, played a bit reckless and out of control at times, but the intimidation factor plus the speed to "go get it" made him truly dangerous. Offensive mentality once he got his hands on the ball, and they were CONSTANTLY near or on the ball, dude was a threat all over the field. Like that excerpt said, he was really putting it all together in his last season, he was becoming a problem, shame he died before we got a chance to really see what his potential could've been...take a look at that NFL Network A NFL Life, Sean Taylor...must see TV


as far that video posted :pachaha:lil man hit with that missile impact...that's how you teach em
