I don't understand why you think Jason Taylor has been "exposed" in coverage, because I can't think of really one instance. Which is especially noteworthy considering how often he ends up out in the slot.

Further, Taylor is one of a handful of 3-4 OLBs with positive coverage metrics on Pro Football Focus.

I don't know how you are getting Wilson looking foolish off of what Taylor is doing, either. Yeremiah Bell and Tyrone Culver are going to be the guys directly behind Taylor and most likely to be covering the Tight End.

I take many things and combine them. Earlier in the year, JT said he was not getting it done on the TE's, and it's hurting the team. I believe it was in the Herald but, not sure.

I love the Focus site, and have talked to Kal, one of their writers/analyst. I believe he would agree with me but, will asked him to post an opinion.

I really enjoy these type of discussions/debates.

THANKS for giving me a good one.

Roth was good at jamming a Tight End, but you're acting as if jamming the tight end is some intrinsic, inherent portion of being a strongside 3-4 OLB. Most of the linebackers in the defenses around the league do not, and instead play the wider techniques Taylor is playing this year.
