what made sean taylor so good. he covered the field laterally with amazing closing speed AND he was always in position for the big hit. that made receivers fear catching in the flat
I saw him play in person :) In fact, sadly I was at the first game after he died. They had a ceremony on the field and passed out hand towels with his number on them. It was so sad but so cool to hear everyone cheering for such an awesome player. He was a beast for sure.
no one's had his body type/athetlicism since there's always new players who dominate, Derwin James is latest safety that's at the top of the league, but nobody is Sean Taylor
@@ChagafinderI left it at 84 likes too. Being honest though, most of those plays were on underthrown passes. Moss usually wins most of those anyway, so kudos to Taylor for breaking them up, but still, if they led Randy, Taylor isn't in the play 😂
No other player in history had that size, could run and jump with Randy, had the interception range and return game of Ed Reed, and the run support and hit power of Ray Lewis. Best defensive player I’ve ever seen.
0:36 Hasn’t been a safety before or since who could make that play on Moss. Sean was my favourite player. The folks saying he should be in the Hall of Fame take it too far but just in terms of pure, physical talent, he’s the most gifted safety I’ve ever seen.
@@joshlaguardia6568 Ed was his big brother; wouldn’t expect to him say any less. But Sean still sadly only played 3.5 seasons. His highlight reel in that time is as impressive as some players that made multiple Pro Bowls. Still, putting him in the Hall would be disrespectful to the dozens who have legitimate claims and been waiting for decades.
Kerry Collins was absolute garbage lmao. That first play he underthrew him by about 5 yards. If Moss didn’t have to slow up for the ball, he’d have been gone.
Then they tried to make moss seem like a diva at Wipeout because he demanded more. Moss never gave problems off the field and he was a humble guy with respect. I'd leave too if I was the best in the NFL and the second best all time.
Sean Taylor had some amazing plays. The play that sticks out the most is from the pro bowl game. I have never seen a punter get lit up like that in my life.
@@Tone22845 He played with Brady for like 2 seasons. One in which Brady was coming off a surgically repaired knee. Moss had the overrated Culpepper and a washed up Cunningham that Moss revived. He had trash Qbs compared to Jerry Rice and TO and Marvin Harrison.
@@JR3_Jiran He played with Brady for like 2 seasons. One in which Brady was coming off a surgically repaired knee. Moss had the overrated Culpepper and a washed up Cunningham that Moss revived.
Moss clearly wins this matchup. Better passes and he would have had a monster game with the Raiders. The signature Moss burn at 2:08 followed by signature HORRIBLE RAIDERS PASS at 2:12. Props to Taylor for hanging with him, though.
A lot of these are poor under thrown balls. He's slowing down in a few of these. Then ya have the leg tied up, and turf slip up. To me I'm looking at this like poor QB play other than Brady and maybe one other QB
Sean Taylor was no joke. Rarely do you see a Safety with those kind of physical attributes and instincts. He was a ball-hawk AND a heavy-hitter. We talk about Randy Moss being a freak of nature at WR, Taylor was that at Safety.
The best safety in the game when he was alive. After he died we died real talk. Like we really can't get it together. And we have the pieces to do it. I would say it's the coaches. But they not on the field. They only teach. It's up to us too the players to produce. And I feel like they're Nothing like last year. We're supposed to get better not f******* worse. Like I understand it starts with the play caller and the coaches. But it also starts with the players that's why they get paid. AND we have mad talent. So everyone needs to step up and do they job. That goes from the front office to the coaches to the players. Show everyone what the f We're really capable of. The only one that's showing up is my dude from Ohio state. Scary Terry and yes I'm a buckeyes fan until I die. So I'm calling out the rest of the team to step up and show everyone wth We're. All about
Sean Taylor was great but if you give Miss a halfway decent QB, he’s uncover-able. You had Kerry Collins under throwing him in Oakland, no wonder why he basically took that year off lol
it takes an extremely rare talent to be the hardest hitting player in league & then also have the ability to win a jump ball alone with Randy Moss in the middle of the field. that shit is not normal. Randy made great players look like high schoolers when isolated downfield. Sean Taylor BULLIED anyone who he was given the responsibility to cover
“I think he got away with some contact, it’s very subtle” Two handed push and the defender stumbles back. I’m not saying it was crazy or isn’t typical play that happens all the time. I wouldn’t call it subtle though. 😂
Y'all can say what y'all want but it's Sean Taylor Ed Reed then Brian Dawkins Sean Taylor played the whole field lateral and closing speed was crazy and always on time and in position for a big hit. Dawkins was more of always a big hitter and closer. Ed Reed was a mastermind on the field and more versatile our if all 3 fooling receivers and quarterbacks that's my difference between the 3 greatest safety in my opinion. Taylor was the better Tackler and In closing speed tackling and covering. Dawkins more of a shutdown power hitting safety if that makes since and Ed Reed was a first to guy he will beat you to the ball.
THIS was not a match up Sean Taylor was a safety and a great one at it. But MOSS would have run circles around him if he had consitent QB play. I do moss Sean Taylor what a player he could cover like a cornee and hit like a linebacker. I acrually wathed that Redskins Viking Game live. TAYLOR wanted to decapitate any head that came across him.
IMO it looked like Randy was jogging because he took long strides. He did not take that play off. And that announcer made all types of excuses for Kerry Collins.
Almost every one of these plays are Pass interference in today’s league. Imagine if Moss played with todays rules…Moss woulda had significantly more completions and TD’s

Randy Moss

@@larrywilliam5476 randy mossed him once dumbass, the other clips were either contested plays, or Taylor knocked it down. He also picked it once.
I'll say Taylor but Randy had him beat most of time just didn't get the throw. But anytime you slow Randy down is a win.
what made sean taylor so good. he covered the field laterally with amazing closing speed AND he was always in position for the big hit. that made receivers fear catching in the flat

makes me sick
