With taylor sad death ,what will we do for a new safety?

[por-tiz2skins]

Im not evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I don't want no one in the FS postion at all,bsides Laron Landry.Laron Landry can be the next Sean Taylor and the Number 21 should be retired.Sean Taylor..................................................Probably the greatest Safety we ever had and was the best safety today.Im so sad right now and heavnly shocked.But now where in trouble to find another safety.We got 3 options right now.


Of course I belive at this point will put Landry at FS but now we need a SS.


1)See if Reed Doughty can step up and perform as a starter

2)Will be force to draft a safety early.

3)Will have to go into FA.



REST IN PEACE SEAN TAYLOR NO ONE HAS EVER HIT LIKE YOU OR PICKED OFF LIKE YOU.



Rest in peace Sean Taylor....................you might be gone ..................but not forgotten.

I understand emotions are running high, but profanity is not allowed outside of Smack, portiz. Your post has been edited.

[hailskins666]

portiz, you have already had your account suspended for not following rules here. take the profanity OUT of your post, because i'm not going to do it. i have better things to do with my time than to babysit children on a message board.

you beat me to it.

Who cares who replaces him. He just died this morning and people are already talking about replacing him. Unbelievable. Stupid Charlie Casserly is on Comcast right now talking about the salary cap ramifications of this. Some people need to get a clue.

[admin]

Who cares right now?

Considering the circumstances that Redskin fans are under right now... I'll give you one pass on the fact that you obviously don't care how many times I tell you that profanity is NOT allowed outside of Smack... so this is your mulligan... but since you obviously didn't learn anything from a week off and have NO respect for the house rules... your next transgression will be the very last one that you ever make at THN.

[SkinMeAlive]

Nobody cares what you want.
The Draft and Free Agency involve speculation and don't belong here.
Reed Doughty is the replacement and I doubt he cares what you think of him.

[VetSkinsFan]

It was said that Doughty didn't do too bad at SS and Landry was playing FS if i recall correctly.

[Skinsfan55]

I know it's soon, but I don't think it's selfish nor does it make you a horrible person to wonder what effects his death will have on the team from a football or business standpoint.

I loved Sean Taylor as a player, and I don't think I've ever been more wrong than I was when I wanted Kellen Winslow Jr. to be our first round draft pick. Still, the Redskins need to think about what they will do because of his death.

I am kind of shocked that there would be salary cap ramifications to this. My God, he was shot to death it's not like we released him. IMO all of his impact on the cap should be wiped clean.

That makes me dispise that man even more.

[roybus14]

It's too soon for that right now. IMO, that is something that should be talked about in the spring, not now.....

No matter where you go. You will find at least one person that doesn't know what to say....

[Redskin in Canada]

Im not evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man you just do not know when to stop, do you? Not the right time to -even- begin to think about this loss to the team for the sake of the game. I am concerned for my team as HUMAN beings. There are much BIGGER issues than a game or even the NFL. Stop and THINK.

Now, repeat after me: Stop and THINK.

[por-tiz2skins]

I loved Sean Taylor.

Like I said I'm not evil (as in dont want to really talk about this)But I can't bear to talk about a new safety but we had to sooner or later.I don't want no safety or player to ever wear 21# ,

He was the greatest safety ever I ever seen.

[tribeofjudah]

Mr. Boss Hog, if you ban this guy portiz.........he'll just come back under a new identity....

His ranting and raving makes no sense right here, right now.... unbelievable.

I uderstand you are upset. You feel betrayed, and are hurting.

All of us are.

This is just not the time or place to worry about all that secondary crap.

We can worry about that come Febuary.

Son please for your sakes, and ours...STOP.

Regarding Portiz talking about the safety position, I don't see what's wrong with it. ST is my favorite player, he's the greatest safety to play since Ronnie Lott but this must be addressed. The Skins organization has to look into it now so why can't we comment on it? As a guy who used curse words outside of smack, a couple mods have pm'd me and I really do try to watch what I type; so that's between them and him, not my concern.

I don't agree with everthing he said though. We have good safeties, none of them will EVER be ST but I believe that position will be ok. I heard on 980 this morning that Landry can move over to the other safety spot and Doughty could take Landry's spot. We have 5 games left for them to experiment with it and they'll tool it over the offseason. As for draft picks and free agency, yep, its waaaaaay too early to even get into it. Lets not get into a frenzy about people who comment on the safety position outside the organization, they don't know what we fans are feeling so lets not get too upset over it.

[VetSkinsFan]

I guess you can put me on that blackballed list as wel, because I was talking about this already with some other skins fans. I see NOTHING wrong with wondering how the TEAM we support, know, and love, is going to move on from this awful tragedy. For anyone else to be so close-minded as to ridecule anyone else for not wallowing in sorrow and thinking (as the BUSINESS SIDE OF THE REDSKINS MUST) about how to cover down on this situation. There are TWO, count 'em, TWO games in the next EIGHT days that have to be planned for, and we've speculated on everything else the Redskins organization has done. Why must you ridecule someone who is doing it now? You think the minority such as Portiz and myself have no compassion? Get over yourselves.

[Fios]

Folks, this is not something worth getting angry about.

They are re-signing WR Jimmy Farris, releasing OL Kevin Sampson and activating LB Matt Sinclair from the practice squad.

No Saftey is being added considering Sean was inactive at the time of his death, his spot had been filled.

[langleyparkjoe]

Geez, what did I miss? They are re-signing Farris and tooling the linebacker corp? Is Washington nicked up again? Like I said previously, I think we're ok at safety (as evident by them not signing anyone) but I don't understand those other two..

[Gibbs4Life]

This is another reason why this situation is so paralyzing...


From a pure football standpoint...Sean Taylor cannot be replaced. If you want to know how we'll fair without him, look at the game in dallas....that game showed us just how much we need Sean Taylor. T.O. (whom I believe should be investigated) simply ran up the middle of the field where ST would normally stand. The routes t.o. ran that day we're designed specifically to exploit our missing safety. I can only see this continue-ing to happen specifically against New York and Dallas. I don't think we can replace him and I don't think we can come close. Landry is good but come on, and no one else comes close. ST was the focal point of our defensive scheme, he made everything else work. Without him we have no chance and will have no chance for the next decade, so to all my fellow Redskins fans when those killers took Sean they took our team's chances with'em I'm sorry to say.

Ridiculous.

Investigate T.O? Come on... that's not only tasteless, it's inappropriate.

No chance for the next decade? Assinine. It's a team sport, as great as Sean was, if you've got a team that is so 'lost' without ONE guy, you weren't going anywhere anyway.

I respect that people are grieving, I respect that people loved Sean Taylor, but you have to move on as a franchise... and if this effects the Redskins for a 'decade', then they're not a very well run football franchise.


ST was a stupendous player, but he was ONE man... and it takes 53 men to have a successful football team. We can't replace him over night, (we will never TRULY replace him), but that doesn't mean that as a team, they will never realize any success.

Giving up solves nothing.

Sean wouldn't want it, and the players in that dressing room will hopefully use that as a motivating factor to bring EVERYTHING they've got each and every week.

[VetSkinsFan]

As usual, the blunt voice of reason and intelligence. Thanks once again BH!!

[langleyparkjoe]

Boss I like your 2cents, makes sense to me. I was actually gonna ask him what he meant by investigate T.O. I really hope he isn't referring to Sean's murder?!?! Gibbs4Life, we all know that ST was the best safety in the league and we happened to grab him fresh out of the "U". However, if ST was in that game vs. Dallas, do you think they wouldn't have gone after another defensive player? They'd go away from him sure and maybe take 1 or 2 attempts in his direction but to say w/out him we're doomed is crazy. Boss pretty much summed up what I was gonna say and believe me, there will always be hope for our guys because they have us supporting them and we'll never switch. Don't give up on them man, giving up on them is pretty much saying you don't believe. By the way, wasn't that Doughty's first game taking Sean's spot? I actually think Doughty's improving and I'm more than willing to give anyone a chance because we all know ST can't be replaced. That's just my

[KazooSkinsFan]

I read it he meant for ST's injury, not murder. Not that it's still not an irrational suggestion for so many reasons that are too obvious to bother to list.
