Sean Taylor is THE MAN!

Sean Taylor is what I hoped Lavar Arrington would be on the field.

I mean, I love Lavar, and he's great, but I get the feeling that he's not "mean" enough, and that if he seems mean, it's just an act of sorts.

Not Taylor. This guy is mean. He is junkyard dog mean. He is Oprah-forced-to-eat-a-salad mean. And he MEANS it.

I absolutely loved the way he played Owens last night. He taunted him after almost every play. He hit him when he had the chance. He tried to get in his head. He terrorizes people out there. I don't want the personal fouls - he NEEDS to watch that. But we haven't had this kind of attitude on defense in a LOOONNGG time. Not since Wilbur Marshall has someone been so downright mean. I love the dark face mask, I love that he wore the red socks, and I want to see him take a page out of Lavar's book and end Vinnie's career in little D in two weeks.

Anyway, I'm tired of debating the deep pass at the end and just wanted to throw out a nugget of positivity. This guy has a bright future if he can just mature properly.

I think Taylor's and Marcus's attitudes are things we need more of. Meanness was something Sam Huff said Lavar needed more of to become a dominant player. Taylor has progessed by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the year. He really is going to be worth the fifth pick we spent on him.

I could do without the trash talking after you were beat, and the only thing that saved you from embarrassment was the fact that the pass was poorly thrown.

I don't mind the trash talking after you have made a great play, but IMO you have nothing to talk about when luck had more to do with the outcome of the play then you yourself.

Taylor has great attitude and I love it as well. Just needs to cut out the dumb stuff. He was very lucky not to get a personal foul for hitting out of bounds yesterday. He was in TO's face all game too and I was surprised he didn't get a taunting call.

I don't mind Taylor having a bad boy type of attitude in the league...Roy Williams has the same type of play and attitude and know one talks negatively of him......We need that. Then we can see more players look like Todd Pull Up Pinkston......even though it wasn't Taylor that was gonna take his head off, he saw flashes of 36........that's why he pulled up.

That pull up on Pinkston was hilarious. The band director turned to me and I said he heard Taylor's footsteps.

I'm not a big fan of trash talk, but even boring white guys like me must learn to adapt to a new, louder era. In that vein, I can live with trash talk if you're winning or just made a great play. Trash talk after you got schooled or when your team is down by 10 points is bush league.

I love Taylor's attitude. Just Love it. I liked teh jawing with TO personally. I think he got TO out of his game as evidenced by TO's season low production output.....

Taylor had the whole Eagles wide out core playin scared that whole D gets the job done out there.

Are you saying you dont like Lavar? LA used to get penalized alot for late hits too if thats what you like. I like ST but think he needs to dial it down slightly like Lavar has done.

I love it also! That's why I wanted so badly him in here... if he keeps it up, and keep learning, he'll be the best safety since Ronnie Lott. Yes, Ronnie Lott. And I'm his #1 fan.

Taylor intimidates people. He hits like a truck.

I loved how he was in Owens ear all night long. Nobody deserved it more than him

I've been watching the NFL for years, I have never seen anything like that......if I were Andy Reid, He'd be sitting on the plane or the bus next to the luggage.
