DBs like Taylor literally made guys look up and dead end good balls in fear of being plastered. Sean would play linebacker today 100%. Look at White for Tampa, almost smaller than Sean. What made Taylor great was that odd ability of "ball hawking". Anytime the ball was on the screen...there is a FLASH....and it's Taylor not just making a play..but a TFL, sack, pick, fumble, crowd roaring hit...There are few DBs, especially at the safety position that had that ball ability..Sean was right up there with Woodson, C. Wood, Reed, Troy etc..
As an Eagles fan I really miss those Eagles teams. Felt like we were the cream of the crop with coaching and talent. But when ever we played Sean Taylor it was never easy. All time great🔥🔥
Even though Washington had terrible offense back then, it was fun just to watch the cohesive defense. I think 2005 we had the #2 defense in the NFL. It was fun to watch even when we lost. After Sean passed, the defense was never the same.
@@richspeck8932 provide proof and then I'll believe it. Cause I'm an Avid fan an only thing I can remember was something along those lines happening in a practice and from what I've tried to dig up I found absolutely nothing
@@hell-sol5240 I think the defense played with 10 men to start the game. That's what I think I'm thinking of. And I'm pretty sure they had his number on their helmets and a patch on the jerseys
Yup he was scared. Sean was in his head the whole game and it's not like To was not beating Sean on some of those routes but Sean knew if he got in his head mentally by talking and brutally by hitting that he could slow To down and it worked
@@CJ-eb2nt Sean Taylor is a safety, he don't check wrs 1 on 1, so he didn't slow to down. he helps double team or picks them up if the corner playing zone. Their defense did a good job containing their whole offense an not giving McNabb much time to throw. The game is won at the line of scrimmage, you control the line then you control the game. So if McNabb had lots of time to throw, then TO would've had a field day despite their coverages and whatever antics Sean Taylor had going on.
@@tsmar9939 lol. Ed Reed is the best ball hawking safety ever. Polamalu was close for a while, but he kept getting hurt. That's life... I'd put polamalu right with Rod Woodson. Ed Reed is def the 🐐 tho
I remember that when it happened live. I told my cousin on the phone to watch that play since he was recording it. TO ran another cheerleader over again when he played for Dallas lol
My god... ...NFL football looks so much more difficult in this clip than it does in today's game. Today's game seems like two-hand touch compared to this. Good god.
As a giants fan, I loved knowing I could watch Sean Taylor twice every year. His style of play was legit, he could do it all, play deep or stop the run. You name it, he can do it and at a very high level. Rip Legend
21, and he wasn't the greatest, sure as hell should've, could've, & wouldve been the best if he watched out for the company he chose to be around but we'll never know unfortunately though
@@andrewaltice2086 yeah we already know he would've at best best been a Revis type player. Or he could've fell off hard in a Josh norman type spiral hah he played a whole Career he'd be around 15-20th he often got ate alive by To Chad Johnson Joe Horn marvin Harrison Hines ward Tony Gonzales, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson Steve Smith issac Bruce reggie Wayne. Tory holt etc. I'll spare further humiliation and leave out the Rbs and Fbs but I'd feel wrong not mention Alstiott laying him out like. A 5 year old trying to tackle a varsity player I was embarrassed that day and to be clear was A sean taylor fan
It's because of the damage done after players retire, concussions are no joke... diseases and stuff stem from them and it ruins players' lives later on. Allowing hard hits like before was only because of ignorance, it's a sport. Anything beyond making the play is overkill.
@WorldFlex I feel that, part of it is because the refereeing in the NFL is rigged and they don't want to deal with that, on the other hand I think it's just sheer laziness.
@@ghenry4513 Mfs tackling much lower which means much more leg injuries. It’s illegal to hit up top so a lot of players are tearing ligaments instead of getting CTE. That’s my personal perspective. I could be wrong
Too bad he was an insufferable asshole. People with his talent shouldn't have played for as many teams as he did. Unfortunately no team could take his act for much more than one season
Man that Defense was getting nasty! RIP ST dude was so good! TO was one of the very best! I remember this , awesome video of greats going head to head! Glad I came across this
I was watching this loving ST. But also admiring how TO was balling! Fearless! Playing so damn reckless! Taking all kinds punishment! You just don't see that in today's game from today's receivers. I understand there's reason for that but still. It's a thing of beauty!
The NFL and media HATED the diva brother during this time. TO was a little over the top, but nothing he ever did should be considered character breaking. The guy is a good mentor and person..he is just passionate. A lot of them guys have a very "burn me once and I'm on your ass forever" mentality, it's that edge that drives them. T.O. was done hella dirty and if social media was out in his prime...whew it would be gold.
TO was a monster. This is why it's important to carry yourself with class at all times. when people talk about TO now it's rarely about who good he was on the field and mostly about his poor character traits.
We always talk of once in 20 and 30 year players on O. This man was the exact same thing on D. We miss you. I used to be scared for the eagles wideouts back then. R.i.p. S.T.
I think Sean was the greatest football player ever .. holds the Florida total touchdown record and 10 INT’s and like 4-5 TDs as a Junior in college. He had people like TO, Randy who feared him as a rookie .. AS A DAM ROOKIE smh GOAT
Nothing to do with Sean Taylor until 2:265:28 all the rest were of other players and a couple of Sean Taylor tackles. Why upload and label it like that?
Mike Alstott begs to differ he absolutely smashed/ trucked Sean Taylor once early in a game and sean damn well steered clear of him the rest of that game remember it like it was yesterday Sean looked like a little boy trying to tackle a man that day
If you don't know who Sean Taylor is, you really missed a player who brought it from the "safety" position every single play. Sad they took him from us soooo early. He's still Hall of Fame in my opinion! #HOF
A lot of people say my boy Taylor is overrated mind you this is his rookie year mind you he grew over the short years and his last year he was on another level like wtf see who was in the top in ints after missing games in 2007
What a generation of safeties, ed reed, troy Polamalu and Sean Taylor, Taylor may not have stayed in Washington his whole career, I'm sure he would have found somewhere and gotten a ring and would be in the discussion for goat at that position or of his generation, we will never know
TO is definitely getting up there but I have little doubt the man could still play to this day. You're just very young you wouldn't know but football was entirely different even in the 90s and Early to Mid 2000s it was way different than what's seen on the field today and that was TOs Prime man was an absolute beast

Sean Taylor vs Antonio Gates 2005 th-cam.com/video/2Z5PM9ojdrU/w-d-xo.html
Sean Taylor would’ve been the best safety all-time imo if he wasn’t taken so early. Man is still one of the best ever to do it
Agreed 100%. A bigger version of Ed Reed his mentor at The U.
No Lott would be way better
I think he would have been top 5 but he is still a legend RIP
All respect with your comment but Ed Reed did his thing. Even Polomalu and Jenkins. I definitely put Taylor in top 5.
chillymost2 Lott reed troy p Brian dawkins in order are top 4
It’s insane to think about Ed reed and Sean Taylor at Miami at the same time
You can make a legit case for some of those Miami teams being the best of all time (collegiate)
They had big Vince at NT too
And Warren sap and ray Lewis
@@thedonk2 They weren't on the same Miami team as them
@@bonkcaesar9849 yes I know .

@@colenelson443 yea, he was headed to the hall.
TO was a little bitch who 'profited' from lax rules for the defenders. He COULD have been amongst the greatest but he dropped too many easy passes.
Okay Skip Baseless
T.O. HOF
Sean Taylor was built different!!!! My favorite safety of all time
Crazy that such a short career had such a huge impact. Truly speaks to legend of Sean Taylor #21.
Yea man it really does the world of football lost this one and not only that he seemed like a really good human being as well
Wayyyy to soon
RIP to Sean Taylor
Helluva player
At this time in the NFL, both Sean Taylor and TO could take over ballgames.
Isn’t that crazy that it’s possible
As an Eagles fan I really miss those Eagles teams. Felt like we were the cream of the crop with coaching and talent. But when ever we played Sean Taylor it was never easy. All time great🔥🔥
Not as good as Brian Dawkins. And I'm a Cowboy fan. But yes, Taylor was damn good
@@nonyabizz3533 ST was all around safety and can cover. BD was not great in coverage.
Sean Taylor would’ve been a true legend 💯💯💯💯
he was savage man
did u notice that first play was offensive PA?
He is a Legend still
He still is a legend
He is a legend put some more respect on his name

Yeah, they were watchable. The team played great as a unit around that time. That was a good defense, defense is so far gone now with rules against it
I'm a Giants fan, but I think the whole team wearing Taylor's number after he passed is still one of the classiest things ever done in the NFL
That never happened NFL wouldn't allow such a thing

The Db's Washington had was insane Smoot, Clark, Springs, and of course Taylor!!!!
then they added carlos rogers and LaRon landry too
Smoot was a fuckin bum!
Green
@@Boom229 So was springs 😂😂😂
The year later they drafted Carlos Rodgers , he was pretty good . IMO
Sean Taylor was an absolute beast. Would have probably been the best pure safety to ever play.
It wouldve been close with Ed Reed
@@jamo2798 No. 43 of Steelers was best safety ever better check yourself
Ed Reed got punk by Hines Ward a receiver please fool
@@tsmar9939 lol. Ed Reed is the best ball hawking safety ever. Polamalu was close for a while, but he kept getting hurt. That's life... I'd put polamalu right with Rod Woodson. Ed Reed is def the 🐐 tho
Um ronnie has entered the chat lol
They ran that cheerleader over. DaMN!
I remember that when it happened live. I told my cousin on the phone to watch that play since he was recording it.
TO ran another cheerleader over again when he played for Dallas lol
And they didn’t gaf😂
Sean Taylor one of my favorite players ever rest up Sean gone too soon 😢
Sean Taylor would've been a certified HALL OF FAMER in the NFL,he was an absolute beast on defense!
That was definitely not PI on springs
Terrell was a beast !
We lost a legend 😔
My god...
...NFL football looks so much more difficult in this clip than it does in today's game.
Today's game seems like two-hand touch compared to this. Good god.
Sean Taylor remind me of Jack Tatum. Both hard hitting safeties. May they both Rest In Peace .

Agreed!
3:47 shows what playing until the whistle blows truly means by Sean Taylor ! Rest easy my Dude!
He would have been flagged and fined into oblivion in today's game.
Sean Taylor's work ethic made him the player he became which in my view was The best safety ever to play football period. RIP #36 Sean Taylor
He wasn't even the best of his era, Troy Polamalu, Brian Dawkins, Bob Sanders, Ed Reed etc... And he only wore 36 his rookie season...

T.O. put in work!
Sean Taylor spit in Michael Pittmans face that was crazy Michael was jacked up looked like a professional body builder
Taylor was a Beast Hands Down!
TO was so explosive with the football
The NFL was a way better brand back then. I get it more dangerous but better
Real football. Big hits and physical play. Not like the neutered version we have today
When the NFC Wast was good 💪🏾
It’s the nfc East
What a generation of safeties, ed reed, troy Polamalu and Sean Taylor, Taylor may not have stayed in Washington his whole career, I'm sure he would have found somewhere and gotten a ring and would be in the discussion for goat at that position or of his generation, we will never know
Damn lol they didn’t even know that they knocked down a cheerleader they was so heated with the trash talk lol
T.O did know, he pointed back at her, trying to get the ref to call a late hit.
Damn Owens had top speed and acceleration and awareness !!!shit he had everything a WR can have !!! I forgot bout catch
Owens was amazing. Mcnabb ruined everything
Boyyyy, those were the last of the days of gettin away with big hits!
