With the passsing of Redskins Safety Sean Taylor, I think it is time to look back at what a fierce competitor he was.

Watching him play at the University of Miami was some of the best  years in watching college football I have ever seen.  That was the first time I have ever heard an analyst use the phrase covers like a corner and hits like a linebacker.  He was one of the players I first identified with a player an wanted to see him succeed at the next level.  He made me a Miami Hurricanes fan.

Taylor's biggest problem was the fact that he couldn't stay out of trouble.  With the whole alleged spitting fiasco made me re-think my position on him being a great player or not.  When he did that, I stopped rooting for the guy.

This past draft when the Redskins drafted LSU safety LaRon Landry, I thought "They are going to be the best safety tandem in the league for years.  It is just a pity that we only got to see them play for 11 games together.

RIP Sean,  You will be missed.
