Jason Taylor Traded – Washington Redskins

admin — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:44:55 +0000

Jason Taylor and the Miami Dolphins finally split. The Dolphins on Sunday traded Taylor to the Washington Redskins for a pair of draft picks.

Taylor expressed on video how unsatisfied he was with losing. Going from the 1-15 Dolphins to a Redskins team that has a legit shot at making the playoffs should satisfy Taylor’s hunger for winning.

In return for Miami’s defensive ace, the Dolphins got a second round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and a sixth round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. Considering that training camp is coming up quickly, the Dolphins were able to get a good package for their disgruntled lineman.

On the Redskins, Taylor’s main job will be rushing the passer. If the 33-year-old defensive end can cause havoc in the 2008 season, Washington will be happy with the trade.

How much better will Jason Taylor make the Redskins?

Jason Taylor Video – Taylor to be Traded?

admin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:01:48 +0000

Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins has seen his name in the media a lot in this offseason. Taylor was on Dancing with the Stars and he also was involved in trade talk. With training camp right around the corner, Taylor remains with the Dolphins.

Where will Taylor end up during the 2008 season? It appears as if he’ll remain a Dolphin. When it comes down to it, Miami can use his talents on the field. The Dolphins are trying to improve upon their 1-15 2007 record and Taylor gives the team a good shot at doing that.

Obviously, if another team comes knocking with a big offer, the Dolphins will listen. That doesn’t sound like it will happen, however. The other option is for the Dolphins to release him, but that sounds equally unlikely.

Here is a video of Taylor talking about his past, current and future with the Dolphins:

Five Worst Teams in the NFL

admin — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:27:15 +0000

1. Atlanta Falcons
Is there any doubt that the Atlanta Falcons are currently the worst team in the NFL? The Falcons have yet to recover from the Michael Vick fiasco. Until a quarterback (such as rookie Matt Ryan) proves capable, the Falcons will circle the drain of the NFL.

Can Matt Ryan be the savior?

2. Miami Dolphins
Bill Parcels will eventually turn the Miami Dolphins around but it won’t be in 2008. On the offensive side of the field, the Dolphins don’t have many playmakers. On defense, the Dolphins’ best player, Jason Taylor, is unhappy. The Dolphins will be lucky to win five games in 2008.

3. Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions offense underperformed last season and now they look to be even less talented on that side of the field. Defensively, the Lions won’t be better than an average unit. In 2007, it looked like the Lions could surprise. Now it looks like the Lions are headed back to the bottom.

4. Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders actually have a bright future, but 2008 promises to be a struggle. JaMarcus Russell will the be quarterback and he’ll undoubtedly struggle early in his NFL career. However, once Russell figures it out and rookie Darren McFadden comes into his own, the Raiders should be able to turn it around — in 2009.

5. San Francisco 49ers
A few NFL experts are picking the San Francisco 49ers as a sleeper pick for the 2008 season. I remain skeptical. Alex Smith at quarterback hasn’t shown much. His wide receivers aren’t too impressive. Frank Gore is good but the 2007 season proved the Niners need more than Gore to win games.

Jason Taylor Interview – Dancing with the Stars

admin — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:47:07 +0000

Jason Taylor had an interview recently with ESPN where he talked about his cold relationship with the Miami Dolphins’ management. According to reports, Taylor has only spoken briefly with Bill Parcells and head coach Tony Sparano.

In the interview, Taylor also talks about how he hopes to one day be known more for his acting ability than anything he did on the football field. Dancing with the Stars is another main topic of conversation.

Taylor has skipped a few practices with the Dolphins, which has led to Jason Taylor trade rumors coming out of Miami.

Jason Taylor Trade Rumors – Fantasy Impact

admin — Fri, 23 May 2008 02:04:59 +0000

Jason Taylor and the Miami Dolphins look destined for a messy divorce. Jason Taylor has been busy with his appearances on Dancing with the Stars and has been miffed by the lack of communication with the Dolphins’ new management team.

Taylor and Bill Parcells seem to be at odds and new coach Tony Sparano recently said that Taylor wouldn’t be with the team in any future minicamps or practice sessions.

Although Taylor has slowed down in recent years, he’s still arguably the best defensive player on the Dolphins. Miami isn’t likely to be a very good defensive team in 2008, however they will be even worse if they don’t have Taylor.

In terms of fantasy football, the Dolphins defense isn’t draftable at all at this point. Parcells will eventually turn it around but it won’t be an overnight thing. Their defense will be a work in progress for the entire 2008 fantasy football season.

If a good defensive team is able to land Taylor in a trade, Taylor could make a good defensive team a great defensive team. Keep an eye on where Taylor ends up when all is said and done.
