This is a subject that has been bothering me some. The subject is "J. Taylor : Where Are You??"....
DE J. Taylor has been almost silent during the pre-season this year. At the same time, two young guys {Ogunleye/Bowens} have stepped up and made an immediate impact on our pass rush.....
At the same time, J. Taylor has been very quiet.....
This bothers me. Here's why.....
A. Ogunleye "OGUNGA" has played twice as good as J. Taylor has this off-season. I also think D. Bowens was doing more than J. Taylor before he went down as well.....
BOTTOM LINE : J. Taylor hasn't been getting to the QB as regularly as these two youngsters have, and I'm wondering why. Where are his numbers, and will he improve on last seasons "highly overrated" 9 sacks???......
I say highly overrated because most of them were a direct result of the opposing WR's being shut down.....COVERAGE SACKS.
J. Taylor has never impressed me with his size, and he relies heavily on his speed. He's a skinny speed rusher with minimal strength. His style is simply one demensional......
I like what I've seen from both Ogunga and Bowens more than what I've seen from J. Taylor. If J. Taylor can't get to the QB as frequently as either one of these new guys, what does that tell you about the value of a player like J. Taylor????......
It tells me that he's slipping. It also tells me that he's not as good as some fans think he is.....
In order for J. Taylor to win back my confidence, I'll need to see him rack up more than 10 sacks this year.....If he can't break 10, he's not worth keeping around much longer IMO.
His career as a model has been working well, maybe he's more concerned about his looks than getting to the QB......
There are plenty of guys who could come in and replace him IMO. Ogunga and Bownes have proven that already.....
