Daily Slop: Jason Taylor Still Doesn't Like the Redskins

"I'd take LaRon over [Polamalu], any day," [Redskins safeties Coach Steve] Jackson said. "They would probably rather have Polamalu because he does do the things like a linebacker with the blitzing ... But when you watch him play true free safety, it's not even close in my humble opinion as far who the better safety is." [WaTimes]

Jason Taylor continues to bash the Redskins [usatoday]

"You can't put me in a spot where I can't be successful," Taylor says of the Redskins' experiment. "That was real frustrating. I go up there and coach Blache was set on what he wanted to do. It's like trading for Manny Ramirez because you need a home run hitter, and when he comes you say, 'We need a left-hand hitter, too. Bat lefty for us.' It doesn't work."

We're so sorry JT!

Can we have our second round draft pick back now?

Taylor is a douche.

I agree.

Blache totally misused him. How can you put a career RDE/OLB – who uses his speed and athleticism to pass rush – on the left side as a run stopper?!?! It’s no wonder he was hurt half the season, and pretty much sucked the rest (except against Philly haha).

Either way, he still sounds like a whiny little bitch and I hope he has another lackluster season.

RAK EM UP!

To Blache's defense...

he never wanted Taylor. Snyderatto did it anyway.

by KevinE on Aug 20, 2009 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's true.

I just hope he optimizes Haynesworth and Orakpo correctly.

Everyone looks bad out of this.

A great coach adapts to the players he has. While I love Blache, this is definitely a trait he doesn’t have.

But Snyderrato look even worse, yet again they recklessly pursued a player without regard for a plan, whether short term or long term.

"You can't put me in a spot where I can't be successful"

Didn’t he come to the Skins knowing he was picking up Phillip Daniels’ slack?

that's what I thought

I'm to young to Die Danny...don't make me do it tomorrow....

He should pull a Mike Vick and smoke some weed to get a year off of his sentence.

Laron over Troy???

Larons good, but that might be pushing it. Their stats in their 1st 2years are about equal.

by Elaw6 on Aug 20, 2009 12:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

They’re just different players.

On runs and near the line of scrimmage, I’ll take Troy. On most passing plays (especially one-on-one) and on long plays I’ll take LaRon.

by superjuan on Aug 20, 2009 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

good point

by smutsboy1 on Aug 20, 2009 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Troy has better instincts

LaRon needs a BIG season to live up to the hype.

RAK EM UP!

JT is whiny but right

People dog him for last year but he came back after that horrible leg injury and played with stitches in his calf. If he was really half-assing it he wouldn’t have come back after the injury. Still wish we had our 2nd back though.

by BayAreaBullet on Aug 20, 2009 12:56 PM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

Not me

If we had our 2nd round pick, Cutler would be a Redskin and Orakpo would be elsewhere…as would our 1st round pick next year.

by KevinE on Aug 20, 2009 1:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Snyder said (for whatever that's worth)

that next year’s 1st was never on the line. Otherwise, Cutler would be in the B & G right now and we would ALL be excited as hell about this offense! :-D

RAK EM UP!

the awesomeness of jason taylor
“That was real frustrating. I go up there and coach Blache was set on what he wanted to do.

And Taylor expects people to believe that none of this was discussed prior to signing his multi-million dollar deal. BS.

"You can’t put me in a spot where I can’t be successful," Taylor says of the Redskins’ experiment.

How dare them! Don’t they know who I am? I guess his royal highness expected everyone to bow down to his greatness and move around to accommodate the awesomeness of Jason Taylor. Maybe Carter should have asked Taylor before each play where his highness wanted him to line-up.

Let’s face it; Parcells stood up to Taylor, and Taylor wanted badly to prove the Tuna wrong. And when things didn’t work out that way, and the Dolphins did fine without him, well, then, it just couldn’t be his fault now could it?

by benevolent skinsfan on Aug 20, 2009 2:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Still think forcing JT into the Run end spot instead of using him as 3rd down specialist was horrible coaching on blaches part.

by BayAreaBullet on Aug 20, 2009 3:19 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

Taylor doesn't give a sh-t if it was discussed

He got paid either way.

Getting him was a mistake that is squarely on Snyderratto’s shoulders. You don’t sign a guy who doesn’t fit your system, then play him under an extremely rigid coach who’s philosophy is based on discipline and assignments.

Typical Snyderrato.
