Question

Who will replace Sean Taylor rhis year for the Redskins.?.

Answer 1

That's a good question.  I am a Redskins fan and I would say that Sean Taylor is as irreplaceable as they come, however, the Skins moved LaRon Landry to Free Safety to fill his shoes (which I thought was a good idea because Landry's natural position is FS).  Reed Doughty is the starter in the SS position which I feel like is a mistake because he proved last year that he couldn't handle it (after watching the first pre-season game he still can't).  The skins thought they could bring in Stuart  Schweigert from the Raiders to play FS and move Landry back to SS but Schweigert he ended up being even less effective that Doughty.  So to answer your question Landry is replacing Sean Taylor, but no one is going to replace Landry.  Ultimately this means no one is replacing Sean Taylor yet until we get another proven safety (Free or Strong).  Chris Horton put up a good show during the Hall of Fame game vs. the Colts, but Coach Zorn still has Horton as a third string SS (behind Doughty and Vernon Fox).  I think they should give him a chance, especially since we have had injuries in both safety positions.
