Looks like Heineken missed out....

I'm beginning to think that's who Taylor is. He's gonna throw a few dangerous balls a game. He's gonna throw a few balls too high. he's also gonna make some improbable plays that make you open your eyes real wide. and he's also likely to give you a chance if he's got the ball at the end of a game.

definitely a baller mentality

McLaurin also bailed his ass out. We got very lucky today. That was a terrible decision by Taylor that fortunately worked out. he Has got to get over those errant decisions or he isn’t gong to make it. Other than that, Taylor had a very good game.

It looks to me it is in his DNA. That is IMO what a gamer is ... he doesn't always do the safe thing but somehow, someway he finds a way to make plays. Like some of have been saying ... incomplete info on how good he will or won't be.

I like what I heard after the game. The coaching staff told him not to stay in the pocket and force things. They said it was okay if he saw an opening to pull it down and run if he sees a hole. They also told him to get down ... I am in agreement with that.

Yeah, this sounds like bullshit. From an atrticle written after the Buffalo game and just more proof, at least imo, that the Skins coaching staff is more interested in looking right than it is in having the best players they possibly can on the roster. There isn't any viable excuse as to why multiple DBs are on the roster now and Jimmy Moreland isn't.

When the Aug. 31 roster deadline approached, Washington Football Team fans accepted the fact that some talented players would be cut.
Thanks to the new roster-building standard Ron Rivera and GM Martin Mayhew have set, Washington’s roster is as deep as its been in years.
Little did fans know, however, that this vastly talented roster was going to yield such disappointing results through three weeks.

The defensive line hasn’t been nearly as dominant as fans expected. The linebacking corps has been a letdown, but that was to be expected. As for the secondary, well, good luck finding one that’s performed worse than Jack Del Rio’s. We’ll dive into the stats in a minute, but you can’t sit there and tell us that Washington isn’t regretting cutting Jimmy Moreland.

The defensive line hasn’t been nearly as dominant as fans expected. The linebacking corps has been a letdown, but that was to be expected. As for the secondary, well, good luck finding one that’s performed worse than Jack Del Rio’s. Washington already looks foolish for releasing Jimmy Moreland. Of course, Moreland was waived with an injury designation. In most circumstances, fans wouldn’t bat an eyelash. However, the 2019 seventh-rounder was dealing with a bone bruise and recovered in time for Week 1. Why would Washington part ways with a talented CB over something as trifling as a knee bruise?

We’re still wrapping our mind around the decision, which looks more foolish with each passing week after the previously out of sync Josh Allen just lit up Washington’s secondary for 358 yards and four touchdowns.

Through three weeks, the Football Team ranks 29th in both passing yards allowed (307) and total points allowed per game (30.4). Kendall Fuller has looked worse than his stats would suggest. William Jackson III is committing pass interference penalties left and right. Landon Collins has the highest contract value of any safety in the NFL and is currently sporting a 54.2 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus. Benjamin St-Juste has had some nice breakups, but he’s struggling like any rookie third-round pick who’s playing 70% of the snaps would. You really mean to tell us that Moreland couldn’t sniff any playing time in this secondary? At least he has experience playing alongside Fuller and Collins.

Moreland is also a beast defending the run. He earned an elite 72.4 run defense grade from PFF last season. While Washington’s secondary woes have taken most of the spotlight, their run defense has been almost as bad, as they rank 25th with 125 rushing yards allowed per game.

Moreland isn’t the most imposing DB you’ll ever see, but he plays much bigger than his size and loves setting the tone with big tackles against the run and serving as a ball-hawk when he’s dropped back in coverage. Furthermore, Moreland played 518 (!) snaps covering the slot in 2020. Given how Fuller’s performed thus far — Keenan Allen and Sterling Shepard had him chasing ghosts in Weeks 1 and 2 — Washington could sure use another dependable nickel cornerback. They had one on the books for just $850,000, but decided to release him in favor of more flavorful and expensive options.

How’s that looking now?
