This is a move that in retrospect backfired on the Redskins.  Sounds like Parcells knew what he was doing when he traded him off.  Jason Taylor was injured half the year, probably because he was out of football shape, and when he was on the field, he was playing out of his natural postion and was very ineffective.  He had only 1.5 sacks on the year, a career low.

Americans are still reeling from this devastating move. When will the pain go away?!

Another over-priced hire by Danny-boy of the Redskins (inside football fans get the reference) Once again, an NFL owner thinks he knows more about football than he really does. Ahh. . .Jim Zorn- "Hip, hip, HOORAY!" No playoffs.

Major upset in our house.  Not that the Dolphns have done ANYTHING since Marino retired.

Its not very often that All Pro defensive ends get traded. Players like Jason Taylor are game changers, and they don't become available that often. Old school Bill Parcells apparently had problems with Taylor and his Dancing with the Stars appearance this past offseason. So he was determined to get rid of his team's only great player from last season. Washington has been a borderline playoff team the past few years, and this might be the type of move to push them to the top of the NFC. Defensive line was easily their worst position group the last few years, and Taylor's presence will make everybody there better for the Redskins. Strahan and the Giants showed the NFL what a great D-line can do for a team. Perhaps Taylor can have that kind of effect for Washington in 2008.
