Will post a link when one becomes available

[IbleedBnG83]

Wasn't he suppose to report to trainging camp today? Did he?

[SkinsOrlando]

Reports to TC tomorrow.

[Recent Vintage]

Vinny said he'd start practice Tuesday. Today he's gotta do a physical and get settled, etc.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

So...do we take him to a Wizards Summer League Game first? Isn't that the move?

[JRQB3]

What number will Taylor wear? Carter is 99 as well.

[RWJ]

Is the press conference going to be on ESPN or NFL Network?

[RammsteinSkins]

I love how I have a dentist appointment at 2:45 :cry:

[REDMAN7]

I will be happy with the trade if JT stays a Skin and plays at a high level for 2-3 years. Another tidbit some of you may have already noticed....:helmet:

Jason TAYLOR introduced as a new Redskin defender on July 21.

[Blackest Eyes]

I really hope that JT can produce for us. I am excited about him being here. Hopefully he can really help out our young guys so they can be perennial pro bowlers like him.

[sith lord]

What time is the press conference?

[sith lord]

Oh lord, make it stop.. :doh:

Amen. I believe some of these guys refuse to work on the 21st of every month. :doh:

[Reic]

What time is the press conference?

It is still TBD, I do believe.

Go figure it is my day off, and I get called in to work at 3 :laugh:

I kinda got depressed hearing the woman on channel 4 mistakenly say "Sean Taylor is back" yesterday when talking about Shawn Springs.

[flexxskins]

Vinny said he'd start practice Tuesday. Today he's gotta do a physical and get settled, etc.I hope that they don't make him dance to "Walk It Out" also. :)


I love how I have a dentist appointment at 2:45 :cry:Damn that.

Brush your teeth and reschedule. :silly:

[flexxskins]

Hmm, no time given in the article about when the presser is scheduled for today. Strange.

[Morneblade]

It is still TBD, I do believe.

Go figure it is my day off, and I get called in to work at 3 :laugh:

I did too, but I let the answering machine get it. **** 'em I covered their ass last night, I'm stayin' home. :D

[L30L]

Well if it is @ 5 PM, that's perfect for me. :D

[lovetoaster]

How can a press conference be "scheduled" as Redskins.com says, when the time is TBD?

Jason TAYLOR from MIAMI. Interesting, I agree. I don't think it means anything, but yeah it's cool.

[Oldskool]

How can a press conference be "scheduled" as Redskins.com says, when the time is TBD?

Probably having a hard time scheduling Taylor arriving from Miami/LA (wherever he is) and the FO/coaches getting back from camp.

[REDMAN7]

Jason TAYLOR from MIAMI. Interesting, I agree. I don't think it means anything, but yeah it's cool.

Hey. Nice, I didn't see that one. thats a double wammy! TAYLOR+ MIAMI+ 21.

[DR.LOOMIS]

I kinda got depressed hearing the woman on channel 4 mistakenly say "Sean Taylor is back" yesterday when talking about Shawn Springs.

Aside from football. There was something special about ST.

[lovetoaster]

Probably having a hard time scheduling Taylor arriving from Miami/LA (wherever he is) and the FO/coaches getting back from camp.

:D

I was reveling in the irony of a "scheduled" press conference that was TBA.

I was channeling my inner Steven Wright.

[ECU-ALUM]

Well if it is @ 5 PM, that's perfect for me. :D


I can see me leaving work a few minutes early to make sure I don't miss it.

[JRQB3]

Any insight into what number Jason Taylor will wear as a skin?

[chaos]

Looks like we'll have to wait till 6 o'clock...

[Stadium-Armory]

6pm, per redskins.com

[kingdaddy]

At 6:00 we introduce our own version of Michael Strahan. Taylor is the kind of lineman we haven't had in a long time.

[StillUnknown]

it will be live on ESPNNEWS

[skinsfan190]

Wasn't he suppose to report to trainging camp today? Did he?

No. He has to take a physical first. Then Press Conference at 6 PM, Team meetings tonight, Then Tommorrow morning he should be ready to go.

[skinsfan190]

I love how I have a dentist appointment at 2:45 :cry:

I love how I have to be at work at 6 PM. :mad:
Geuss I gotta catch on redskins.com tonite.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Amen. I believe some of these guys refuse to work on the 21st of every month. :doh:

It's important to prove at every waking moment that you miss Sean Taylor more than anyone else on the planet.

[lovetoaster]

Am I the only one with no sound?

[Hardcore Zornography]

no sound for me either

[SonOfWashington]

Am I the only one with no sound?No.

[StillUnknown]

[Byner21]

I have no image or sound!

WTF?

[ArmchairRedskin]

WTF audio guy. Where is my sound? How hard is it to check that before you go live?

[Chris0894]

no sound!!! :( :mad:

[lovetoaster]

This sucks. This happens every once in a while, which is why I hardly ever watch content on the damn site.

[SkinsTerps26]

WHERE IS THE SOUND!!!!!!!!!

ugh, im annoyed.

[skinsngibbs4life]

seems like there is always something wrong with this...

[kevind]

no sound sound so far

[Higgs44]

:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

[the burgundy and gold]

Jason Taylor sounds very informed for only being here for like an hour.

says he likes standing next to the super bowl trophies

[SkinsTerps26]

ESPN, has it, check it out

[skinsngibbs4life]

there we go... off and on

[bobzmuda]

Sound tease. >:(

[skinsngibbs4life]

ESPN has it...

[ExoDus84]

audio started to come up...

[lovetoaster]

Thank god I stayed at work late so I would not get stuck in traffic and miss this.


:cuss:

[the burgundy and gold]

he just said that he will play out his contract...

[Cpt.Chaos47]

Zorn is a goofball!!

[bobzmuda]

ahaha the sound comes up for the questions and then disappears as he starts to answer

[Grimm]

Sound cuts in and out, pretty weak job by the Redskins IT dept.

[skinsngibbs4life]

I love how we can only hear the questions...

[riggins44]

Log into ESPN 980 for audio stream, still not best audio in the world.

[Skins4SB]

ahaha the sound comes up for the questions and then disappears as he starts to answer

Ok, so I'm not the only one..

[SonOfWashington]

It's coming in and out now.

[Mooka]

ESPN stopped airing it...

This sucks. :(

[skinsaddict]

its on comcast.


he just said he will finish out the contract

[mbqbfan]

Jason Taylor sounds very informed for only being here for like an hour.

says he likes standing next to the super bowl trophies

And I thought Coach Z said he liked the trophies too and getting used to them being in front of the podium.

[No_Pressure]

Wow, this guy sure knows how to keep everybody in suspense, being able to hear the questions and see him answer while not knowing what he's saying!

[twenty-eight]

He's saying all the right things...

[Chris0894]

working now

[SonOfWashington]

Sound is playing now.

[JuicyJ]

It Works!!!!

Cheaaa~

[Veretax]

no sound = sucks! :/

Any word on his # yet?

[skinsaddict]

i like this guy - a lot.

i think i have a man-crush

[f_trizzy]

Clayton said on ESPN that we will probably add a run-stopping DE in the coming days. He says it is shaping up to give us one of the most aggressive defensive fronts that we've had since the 80's.

[tml6157]

did he say anything about his #?

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

i think i have a man-crush
Me too brother. Me too!

[twenty-eight]

All you need to know about JT is that he fought his heart out every sunday for a 1-15 team. Nobody wanted to get a win more than he did...

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

did he say anything about his #?

I heard he was taking #21... (gotcha)

[Stadium-Armory]

"I like to get after quarterbacks, make them nervous, and make them do dumb things.."

I like that mentality. Here's hoping he does that alot this year.

[tml6157]

I heard he was taking #21... (gotcha)

not funny!

[mbqbfan]

I wonder if he had ideas on what he was going to say on his way up to Ashburn from Miami as he said first thing in the conference? So far he's impressing me.

[lovetoaster]

Ooooo....interesting.

[skinsngibbs4life]

Any word on his # yet?


I just watched nightly news on skins.com and they had andre carter on and he said he was willing to negociate for the number

[SkinsGuy]

It is on ESPN News

[mbqbfan]

[QUOTE=Stadium-Armory]"I like to get after quarterbacks, make them nervous, and make them do dumb things.."

Could be the quote of the new season!:point2sky

[pgreena911]

Gorgeous - check
Well spoken - check
In great shape - check
Talented - check

drooling - check

[HigSkin]

At least he knows to hate Dallas even if his buddy Zach Thomas plays for them.

[twenty-eight]

No comcast PLEASE....go back:(

[f_trizzy]

I heard he was taking #21... (gotcha)
Quick...start a petition!!!

[twenty-eight]

Gorgeous - check
Well spoken - check
In great shape - check
Talented - check

:confused:

[AllAboutSkins08]

i'm not even getting any picture, let alone sound. the link isn't opening up windows media player like it should.

grrrrrrr!!!

[Burgundy Burner]

Jersey # to be determined tonight.

[SkinsGuy]

I like that.

Talking about his friend Zack Thomas, saying he plays for the Dallas Cowboys, which he found out VERY QUICKLY are dirty words in Washington. :laugh:

[tml6157]

he said we wont tell about his # until tonight he has to talk to Andre

[Veretax]

It is on ESPN News

Which would be great if my cable provider carried it :/

[HigSkin]

Jersey # to be determined tonight.

Said he's talking to Andre tonight about 99!

[capt1an chaos]

Ok I got it, Jason " King Xerxes" Taylor.



I'm gonna need a sig made. ;)

[SkinsGuy]

Which would be great if my cable provider carried it :/

Wow, you don't get ESPN News?

Who is your cable provider?

[skinsfanindallas88]

I say they have a game of hungry hungry hippos to determine who gets #99

[Burgundy Burner]

Just referred to himself as a "young guy" - love it. No animostiy with the Dolphins or Parcells.

[Jimbo]

I just watched nightly news on skins.com and they had andre carter on and he said he was willing to negociate for the number

One of the conditions will be having Jason teach him how to dance. :laugh:

The fact Andre is willing to do this shows me he is a TOTAL team player. I'm really loving the chemistry on this team right now.

[GOKU]

OMG there mics, I am getting messeges from the Devil!

[RammsteinSkins]

Wow, you don't get ESPN News?

Who is your cable provider?It could be comcast but he just has the 78 channel package.

[SonOfWashington]

"I'm a Washington Redskin. Proud to be, happy to be, ready to play."

[ArmchairRedskin]

Pretty funny when they asked Jason if he remembered hurting Patrick Ramsey 5 years ago.

[RammsteinSkins]

Taylor has chosen the # 1.Must have some ego.

[StillUnknown]

Ok I got it, Jason " King Xerxes" Taylor.



I'm gonna need a sig made. ;)

the resemblance is scary :laugh:

[StJoe4Life]

I'm a total sports fanatic, but I gotta tell you, as a 20 year old female, me and my female friends are pumped about having this guy on our team now. :drool:

[JuicyJ]

ugh that was kinda disturbing seeing another player holding up a #1 Taylor jersey....gave me flashbacks to when it was Gibbs and Sean holding it up :(

[Cpt.Chaos47]

I wonder if he is tired of talking about Dancing With The Stars yet.

[jweisk1]

I dont have ******* speakers at work...can I get some updates...I can see him just cant hear him...really a tease!!

[Byner21]

One of the conditions will be having Jason teach him how to dance. :laugh:

The fact Andre is willing to do this shows me he is a TOTAL team player. I'm really loving the chemistry on this team right now.

Yeah cheers to Carter. What a chill guy. I saw him on Redskins.com and you could tell he had no issues with "giving up" the number. Of course, I'm sure he will be well compensated should the deal go down. ;)

Is 98 available? I like the idea of one wearing 99 and the other wearing 98.

[Corcaigh]

When they held up the '#1 Taylor' shirt, a thought flashed through that it should have said J. Taylor, not just Taylor.

[JuicyJ]

Taylor has chosen the # 1.Must have some ego.

:doh:

I hope you're joking.....

[skinsaddict]

I'm a total sports fanatic, but I gotta tell you, as a 20 year old female, me and my female friends are pumped about having this guy on our team now. :wub

how you doin?

:)

[jweisk1]

:doh:

I hope you're joking.....

[SkinsGuy]

Taylor has chosen the # 1.Must have some ego.

He can't have a jersey with a #1 on it.

DEs have to have certain jersey numbers.

That is just a jersey they bring out for a new player when he doesn't officially have a number yet.

#1 won't be his number.

[SkinsTerps26]

I'm a total sports fanatic, but I gotta tell you, as a 20 year old female, me and my female friends are pumped about having this guy on our team now. :wub

He's def a looker. Very smart dude too


I also immediately thought xerxes (rodrigo santoro)

I'm real pumped about JT being on this team, he's always been one of my favorite non redskins player over the years.

[PogoJr]

ugh that was kinda disturbing seeing another player holding up a #1 Taylor jersey....gave me flashbacks to when it was Gibbs and Sean holding it up :(

That was a bit of a gut punch seeing a Redskin jersey with Taylor on it. I know the man can't change his name but maybe he can go with J Taylor or something.

[YoCoLifSavr]

:doh:

I hope you're joking.....

I know right!:doh1:

[StillUnknown]

When they held up the '#1 Taylor' shirt, a thought flashed through that it should have said J. Taylor, not just Taylor.

:doh:

[twenty-eight]

I'm a total sports fanatic, but I gotta tell you, as a 20 year old female, me and my female friends are pumped about having this guy on our team now. :drool:

I hope his sister comes to dc to see his games


:drool:

edit: wait or is it Zach Thomas' sister. :confused:

[mbqbfan]

When they held up the '#1 Taylor' shirt, a thought flashed through that it should have said J. Taylor, not just Taylor.

I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering how they were gonna put JT's name on the jersey. Can't wait to see him in action at camp this week.

[SkinsGuy]

ugh that was kinda disturbing seeing another player holding up a #1 Taylor jersey....gave me flashbacks to when it was Gibbs and Sean holding it up :(

Don't fret over it.

I mean his last name is "Taylor".

It is a very common last name. What is he supposed to do? Change his last name? :)

[StJoe4Life]

Zach Thomas's sister is Jason Taylor's wife. I am 99% sure anyway.

[jweisk1]

Zach Thomas's sister is Jason Taylor's wife. I am 99% sure anyway.

your correct...

[tml6157]

Yeah cheers to Carter. What a chill guy. I saw him on Redskins.com and you could tell he had no issues with "giving up" the number. Of course, I'm sure he will be well compensated should the deal go down. ;)

Is 98 available? I like the idea of one wearing 99 and the other wearing 98.

Rob Jackson is #98...there are no 90#'s available unless you use either Daniels #93 or Buzbees #90

[Buford]

Who's the sucker that thinks this means he'll wear #1?

[RammsteinSkins]

:doh:

I hope you're joking.....yes.im joking

[tml6157]

The whole Taylor #1 Jersey is being blow WAY outta line. He had no idea they were doing that. If you watched he was confused on what they were doing when they were done. Coincidently his name is Taylor so they used the same one Sean did when he was picked. Its nothing Jason did, so please just let it go!

[JuicyJ]

Don't fret over it.

I mean his last name is "Taylor".

It is a very common last name. What is he supposed to do? Change his last name? :)

I'm not fretting over it nor am I wanting the guy to change his last name....It just simply reminded me of the time when it was Joe Gibbs and Sean Taylor up there holding that #1 jersey.

I apologize for reminiscing the time that Sean Taylor became a Washington Redskin :(

[zskins]

I can't get that damn feed to work so I found a link here on NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d8096ba2f

Just in case anyone else wants to see it.

Edit: Damn that wasn't long enough. :doh: Anyone got a better link. Thanks!!!

Edit Again: Nevermind. It is now up on Redskins.com TV!!!! Whoooohooooo!!!!

[stp240]

He impressed me a lot.. Hese a confident dude

And for the people who put down others for thinking of Sean Taylor, please stfu

[Veretax]

Wow, you don't get ESPN News?

Who is your cable provider?

Technically they do offer it, but its on a sports tier that costs an additional 5 or 7 dollars for a number of other sports channels I don't really see the need for. If they'd just add the NFL network there, It would have been worth it, but not just for ESPN news.

BTW my provider is Sudden Link.
