Not a Moment Too Soon: Taylor Is Back
By Chris Mottram | October 10, 2008
The unstoppable force that is the Redskins’ pass rush is being revved up to 11 this Sunday: Jason Taylor is back! And seeing as he accounts for exactly 16% of the team’s total number of sacks this season (6), this is kind of a big deal. I guess. Plus, we totally need all our weapons ready to launch against the Rams. Taylor’s athleticism should really help keep the always wily and mobile Marc Bulger at bay. Let’s go to the sound bite:
When Taylor awoke yesterday after practicing Wednesday, his leg “felt like I used it. It’s sore, which it should be. It’s only been two and a half weeks.
“But it felt pretty good. It felt decent yesterday, it felt a little better today, and I think I’m trusting it a little bit more. Barring a setback, I’m hoping [Zorn will] give me a shot.”
Good … decent … better! His leg is totally somewhere between worthless and 100% reliable! All systems go.
In other injury news that you probably already heard about because we’ve been in the weeds, as they say: Shawn Springs seems good to go. Hopefully he can lock down Torry Holt, who’s averaged 47 yards a game this season. We can only hope to contain him. Cornelius Griffin will be all up in Bulger’s ass, as well. He’ll play after banging up his shoulder last week. Finally, it seems unlikely that Stephon Heyer will play, which is fine, ‘cause Jansen be holdin’ down that tackle spot like it’s 2002, or somebody.

I have a feeling St. Louis hangs 35 on us. I hope not.
