"The Hit" (You know which one!)

On how many occasions, when Taylor hit someone, did we hear the "0o0o0o's" from the crowd? Reality tells me, that they were countless times. The other big hit I remember when the crowd went crazy, is when Taylor hit Crayton in Dallas, in 05'.

i only wish that hit could happen from here on.

Yea man :(. It's wild, just listen to how long the crowd cheered from just a hit.

[Operations]

It's depressing and sad watching these highlights now. Damn it!!!!!!

[Roborob132]

Makes me weep.... Is it wrong for a dude to weep!

[Santana_Fan]

Everybody on the AFC sideline was stuck, like "how in the hell did he get back up??"

[skindogger47]

The Pro Bowl was cool for one year. Sean blessed those fans with some real football last year.

My favorite hit is the one he put on Willie Parker.

[Touchdown Redskins]

That clip always puts a smile on my face. I LOVE the Japanese announcers' reaction at the end ofthe clip. RIP ST.

[voicekiller]

when i first saw that i was out of my seat...best part of the Pro Bowl was that hit

Parker is lucky his ribs didn't get cracked on that one.

Thanks for posting this. It brings a huge smile to my face when I remember Sean Taylor, the football player. Remembering what happened to Sean Taylor the man is when I get depressed.

[21dave]

I've never seena hit as hard as that one. RIP 21.

No problem at all man. I feel exactly the way you do.

[iwasdoinit]

When you look at the clip, it looks like a couple of guys could have at least attempted to block Taylor. I guess they thought better of it.

[SkinsWarrior81]

i miss sean :(

[DallasSucks19922010]

I hope those guys burn in hell.

[NewCliche21]

I hope THE MURDERERS burn in hell.

Fixed that for ya.

There's a good article in today's post on Sean, in case anybody missed it...

[Killer Rob]

Sean Taylor's immortal destruction of Brian Moorman!
Greatest play in Pro Bowl's history!

[SKINS FAN #56]

Without a doubt, Moorman will remember that hit for the rest of his life.

[Hitman#21]

I love the jappaneese part! RIP ST

[#98QBKiller]

Man what an exciting player he was....RIP Sean we will never forget you. :logo:

Whew!!! Thanks Mark, By far the most detailed story on our fallen Brother.
Cudo's to the authors. Awesome Heartfelt Piece. (Gulp) Rest In Peace Sean,
You'll live forever in the hearts of your Redskin Bretheren.....Hail!!!

[Doctorfro]

That hit.....still makes me get pumped......BOOM!!! Makes me get goose bumps. Woo Hoo!!

[wholee]

One that I'll never forget!

[Alldaz]

IMO 1 of Sean's best hits as a Redskins was during the 2004-2005 season when we played Pittsburgh Steelers...Willie Parker caught a pass 10 yards up on the right side and man Taylor laid a hit on him that was brutal...Parker felt it because he was shaken up and the hit was so crucial one would think Sean broke some of Parker's ribs the way he hit him

[TampaSKINS]

watched that 6 times just now! will never get old

[Timmy Smith]

Taylor will always be my favorite Redskin. Wish I could still watch you play, 21.

[SonOfWashington]

It felt so eerie when they ran a fake punt today.

Forever 21.

[DemSkinz]

My favorite ST play was when he 'flew' us into the playoffs!

[Park City Skins]

That was one of those "Which way do I throw up?" hits.

[Redskins4ever]

That was a hard hit. The ball and everything popped out. How the little punter was able to get up from that I'll never know.

[iwasdoinit]

The hit on Frampton against Detroit was also devestating. The two were jawing before the game. I guess Sean got the better of that one.

[Bantu]

My favorite hit is the one he put on Willie Parker.

Thats my favorite, too. He broke Parker's ribs on that play.

Life is too short. :( Only the good die young. :(

Hail to #21

[Mad Mike]

I had to laugh. Then I had to cry.

[JohnnyUtah]

Thanks so much for putting this up...I was just thinking about how much I wanted to see it again...R.I.P. ST 21

[turbodiesel#44]

Thanks for posting this. It brings a huge smile to my face The opposite effect on me, makes me sad.

[Nuwanda]

So sad. :(

[rlt2622]

I miss ST.

[JimmyConway]

bittersweet

[jg42]

I laugh every time I see that hit. He was having so much fun! Glad he could enjoy the game the way he did for the short time he had. Many never get to enjoy it with such passion as ST.

[DGreenistheBest]

bittersweet

[dirty30]

Im gonna misss those hits, but im gonna miss the man behind them even more.... god bless you sean... RIP 21

[Heavy Jumbo]

On a related note, I saw a green Ford Expedition today that had two Eagles magnets on each side on the back but in the middle was a magnet that said "RIP Sean Taylor. 1983-2007."

Very sad but it was also nice to see fans of division rivals showing respect.


RIP Sean

[Muzzah]

The hit on Frampton aginst Detroit was also devestating. The two were jawing before the game. I guess Sean got the better of that one.

Just saw this post, thanks for that link Mark.

GREAT story, everyone should check it out.

Now, I'm more informed, and even more sad, again. :(

[Stricknn]

That clip always puts a smile on my face. I LOVE the Japanese announcers' reaction at the end ofthe clip. RIP ST.



I agree. That was instant worldwide "jacked up" recognition!


Still can't believe we'll never see him on the field again:(

[S.T.real,lights,out]

the one in Dallas was better b/c it saved us the game.

[Year_of_The_Monk]

Wow, such a good Valentine's Day Present.. Taylor smaking the **** out somebody.

[Never4get#21]

You watch it and remember the hit and laugh....then reality hits you. Man I miss ST!!!

RIP Sean.

I was there and went absolutely NUTS after that hit.

Thank you for the link. That's the best one I've read yet. Gotta get a tissue now though...damn.

[VsR785]

Best hit was when Sean Taylor clotheslined Rudi Johnson.

He one arms tackled Rudi Johnson and got up flexing his bicep.

[Heavens Safety 21]

I have seen that a million times and I never get tired of it. Love you ST!!!!

[skins4me58203]

Makes me weep.... Is it wrong for a dude to weep!

Possibly. We are months removed from his untimely death. Watching these highlights should bring a smile to your face.

[KNGwithOUTaCrwN]

to be honest, this is the one BIG HIT i remember from Sean. i remember i wasnt even that inetrested in the PB but when i looked up at the tv while eating lunch, i saw the play happening and BAM, outa nowhere comes MEast and jsut destroys this dude!

[Hitnskins]

i can't even bring myself to read that article in the Washington Post...i looked at the picture gallery, and that was all that i could take.....there is most definitely a feeling of emptiness that there i don't know if i'll ever be able to replace after losing Sean.

I really thought that Lavar was going to be that SPECIAL player for us....then he crapped out...and then along came Sean...and the unthinkable happened to him.

It makes me wonder if the Redskins are snakebitten....it's almost like with Dan Snyder trying to take shortcutts all the time, that we've somehow sold our soul to the devil, and there's always hell to pay.......i know that sounds crazy, but it sure seems that way.

I'm just babbling on....just missing Sean....there's a part of me that can't even get excited about football, knowing that he won't be there.....it's funny, WE all worried about losing him as a Free Agent one day, and worried that we should've locked him up long term with a new contract, and then life throws you one of those unexpected curve balls that just knocks you on your butt....which is the best way to describe i how feel.

I miss you Sean....and i pray that his family is doing well....because i know bad his death affected me, and the pain i still feel from that...so, i can only imagine the hurt his family must feel, i'm sure it's probably 10 times worse.

RIP Buddy....you'll always be remembered, and always, always, be missed.

WOW!!! :notworthy :applause: :notworthy

[downbeat87]

i couldnt have said it better myself.... im heartbroken, crying as i type. he was and still is iconic, a hero. its a god damn shame, and i know i will never, as long as i live, completely get over it. i really hope he knew how much we loved him.

[Special K]

Can't say I'm one for watching the ProBowl, but last year I tuned in for some reason and saw that ST hit. It was awesome to watch live, and it's still awesome to watch over and over again. Thanks to ST for all the great memories!
