Redskins mourn death of Taylor.

Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins All-Pro Safety died of blood loss after he was shot in the thigh during an invasion of his home in Miami, FL. I don't really have anything to say right now.

It's been a day-and-a-half. We're all stunned.

Someone posted a link to that hit he made on a punt return (?) at the Pro Bowl last year. I remember watching that hit and thinking he had perfect form and a ton of passion -- and on a special teams play at the Pro Bowl. If ever there was a time to take a play off, that's it, but he didn't.

The famous Pro-Bowl hit came on a fake punt, where he blew up the punter. I also remember him making an utterly incredible crack-back block on a punt return this year that totally laid out a defender and cleared a 30-yard lane.

Taylor was an enigma off the field - he just never let the public in - but on the field, he played tremendously hard. And for a veteran to be on almost all the special teams squads...

Everybody loved the intensity he put forth on the field. The man never took a play off. And he was getting even better.
