Sean Taylor skips OTA

Redskins safety Sean Taylor is a no show for the voluntary mini-camp, AKA organized team activity, which started yesterday. Something about "The Beast," as Doc Walker calls him, just never sits right with me. Always dissatisfied with his contract, often in trouble, and good for about 5 bonehead plays a year, there are plenty of safeties I'd rather go to war with. That being said, going into the draft, Sean Taylor was, by a mile, the highest rated safety ever. He was the perfect safety: he can read a quarterback like Ed Reed, he hits like Roy Williams, and he creates big turnovers like Brian Dawkins. But for whatever reason he hasn't put it all together to become a dominant player.

When LaRon Landry signs his megadeal it will surely trump Taylor's deal, so maybe it is time for the Redskins to extend Taylor. Anything to get him to shut his mouth and play ball. Because I don't think the Skins want Sean Taylor spouting dissatisfaction to Landry in position meetings this summer.
