Not a movie post (I know) but as a Redskins fan I had to write something.

I have never met Sean Taylor. There are only stories of his maturation, love of family, his infectious smile, and generosity off the field. I have no reason to doubt those stories. But I knew him only as a football player so that is how I will remember him...a Redskin.

Despite his growing pains, his late hits and his blown assignments I could never deny Sean's passion.

That is why I admired him. That is why he was my favorite player. That is why I believe he could have been a Hall of Famer. That is why I believe he was the best defensive player in the NFL.

For those that disagree, I wish only that Sean Taylor had been given more time on this earth to prove his doubters wrong.

He deserves a place among Washington's best - Art Monk, Joe Theismann, Darrell Green, John Riggins.

He lived proudly as a Redskin and he died honorably as a Redskin. DC was blessed to have him.

I'll miss you Sean...
