Taylor Given Nickname by safties coach.

[Carmelo]

Washington Post article. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13313-2004Aug18.html)


It did not take Taylor long to pick up a nickname, either. He looks like a linebacker in the secondary, hulking over the field. With his long legs and wide arms span he covers substantial ground.

"His nickname is 'Swoop,' " Jackson said, "because he comes down like a hawk out of the air and just swoops down."


So what's up? Do we agree/disagree? I think it's cool.

[ihatedallas]

I think it defines him well,like when he made that touchdown against the broncos,he just swooped out of nowhere

[hogs86]

I like it!! :Pickle:

[BandWagon]

Swoop sounds cool, I just hope we're not getting ahead of ourselves with nicknames. My preference for all of these would be to establish ourselves as the dominant NFC team, then let the nicknames come! Boy will we look stupid if we crash and burn.

Did I just say that??!! :banghead:

[PyroGenic]

man, with a name like that its just a matter of time before he gets endorsed by nike and gets on those CG commercials with Vick and TO... hopefully picking off a pick intended for TO and then leveling Vick for getting in his way :)

[akhhorus]

This is an awful name. Swoop? How gay is that..

you're kind of persistant with the gay thing tonight aren't ya?

[akhhorus]

twice is persistant? Swoop is hardly an intimidating nickname though. And I posted that link y'all wanted to see in the "Those Wacky Germans" thread.

[Odyn]

Hey, if it helps him to make better plays, more power to ya!!!

[PyroGenic]

yeah, i agree with you on the intimidation factor, i was thinking of something along the lines of "Man that hits you so hard it makes your momma cry and poop your pants" but whatever :rolleyes:

Swoop sounds like a women's field hockey player's nickname.

[RedskinsVision]

Swoop sounds like a women's field hockey player's nickname.

it's also from WNBA C. Swoopes. Swoop sounds more like when Smoot's having a bad day.

Swoop is all right. It reminds me of the "dinobots" from the Transformers. Remember that cartoon, anyone? Swoop was the ptreydactyl-like dinobot. That show kicked a**..... sorry my mind is all over the place tonite:>

[PyroGenic]

yeah i remember that show... but it's still a bad nickname

[SkinzHailerCowgirlsHater]

I like it you could always have the big screens at FED EX go "SWOOP, there it is [goes]" or something to that effect after and int for a TD

I was thinking the same thing but thankfully taylor is smarter than a dinobot.

(my take on rayolor by the way is that he was smart enough to know that holding out is really bad for everyone and fired rosenhaus because he wanted an agent that wouldn't encourage him to hold out. He got the new guys, got a deal--which doesn't matter much anyway cause once he's a star he'll renegotiatte (think portis) then fired them because they were splitting up anyway to take on a different job and he can go back to rosenhaus because holding out is no longer an issue. None of this was to be made public cause he can't say he fired rosenhaus cause rosenahus wanted him to holdout because that would hurt rosenhaus and he didn't want to announce what was happening with mato before the announcement of the guys new job.

As for the rookie thing--when you have a multimillion contract who cares about $25,000. If he had personal stuff that he didn't want thrown away or if he needed to help a friend or whatever then he made a choice and I believe the right one.

So Swoop is good. I still want something better than dirtbags though.

[CarMike]

I don't mind it...afterall its just a nickname...

[redwolf1218]

"swoop" is too close to "smoot". it'll sound like "boo" from the crowd.

[Patrick]

Sounds like what happens when someone slips on a bar of soap in the shower room.

ROFLMAO!!!!

[PA Skins Girl]

I like it. Swoop Taylor. Swoop, there it is! Swoop Dog. Swooooooop! It works.

[Brokenstriker]

Taylor made for a Nike contract ...

isn't the Nike logo generally referred to as the "Swoop?"

[dj_stouty]

I like it...and I'll bet Smoot had something to do with the name, since he has taken Taylor "under his wing".

I'll bet Smoot wants to start promoting the "Smoot and Swoop" show...coming to a stadium near you.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

its not bad. it may have to grow on me for a little. the thing that us bothering me about the name is that its the same name of the eagles mascot i think. :eaglesuk:

[redwolf1218]

"swoops" is the name of those new almond joy things shaped like a pringles.

Ahh... the origional transformers. Man i hadnt thought about that show in a long time. Swoop is ok, but I would have preffered something a little edgier.

[garedskin]

I like the nickname.It fits with his type of play so far.
However my all time favorite nickname for a safety is Jack "The Assissin"Tatum from the old Oakland Raider teams in the 70s.Now that guy could/would hit anybody trying to catch a pass in his area of the field.:Peace:

mike haynes, lester hayes, jack tatum...one of those guys put that hit on darrel stingley that eventually changed the rules of the game.

[TexSkin]

Swoop is fine...it means he is part of the team unlike soldier boy ;)

[REDMAN]

Swoooooooooooop!

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

Honestly, I don't like it... I was expecting a little more intimidating or nothing at all. I don't think "Swoop", gives justice to Taylor's kind of playing. As somebody else said, it sounds like "Smooooot" in a bad day.

[garedskin]

mike haynes, lester hayes, jack tatum...one of those guys put that hit on darrel stingley that eventually changed the rules of the game.

It was Tatum.It was a legal hit with a very bad result.It is an unfortunate down side to the game but it is a chance every football player is willing to take when they step onto the field.On a different note to bad Tatum/Butch Atkinson never got to play with both of those CBs that would have been one hell of a secondary. :Peace:

[Axegrinder]

Swoop is hardly an intimidating nickname though.
Yeah,too bad Axegrinder is taken.I'd sell it to him for $40,000 and a car.I believe that's the current price of doing business.

[IndianBaller27]

Swoop!!

[smoot]

swoop, me like

[Jimskin]

Swoop, there it goes!!!...Swoop, there it goes!!!

[IMALILTEAPOT]

Swoop, there it goes!!!...Swoop, there it goes!!!
I dont like that it kind of sounds corny. I think it should "there it is" whenever he makes a crazy tackle or ino. Then the sound speakers at fed ex do that song

[Travesty]

I Dont Like The Name Swoop IT Doesnt Scare Me At All :sleep: .............. The Swoop Is Comin What Type OF Bull Is That Its Corny I Got A Better One SEAN "THAT BOMB" TAYLOR I Say That Because He Hits The Ball carrier Like A Bomb ANd IS Locked On His Target The Ball More Scary SEAN THAT BOMB Just Gave A Monstrous Hit :sfight: Sounds Much Better Than The Swoop

The grammar flag is being revived for this sorry excuse for a speaker of the english language. Multiple flags: 15 yards each. The player is thrown out of the game.

I think, siince the season is coming up, that the grammar flag will have to come out of retirement and be thrown with reckless abandon.

sad....real sad: Grammar flag. I have a feeling that he'll be beaten with the grammar flag until he's bloody and sore.

[RedskinsVision]

Definitely need to straighten out the forums from all the grammar clutter and rubble.. just as we need mom's rolling pin to settle people down, we also need your grammar flag to settle our eyes from crossing up now that we have all these new and old members coming back.

p.s. 5 yard grammar flag for "siince" :D

[Arrington4Life]

Uhhhh....Swoop? I hope they come up with something better then swoop for him. If the news reporters start calling him swoop then I might have to become a Bowen fan...and man do I hate me some Bowen.

[akhhorus]
