[Geowhizzer]

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth from teenyboppers all over South Florida with this trade.

welcome to the dark side easy

[Rome]

You predicting success for Taylor in Washington is one thing, but saying he'll get more sacks than Cole just to reinforce your point is pathetic, IGY.  You're actually suggesting a bet whereby you'll win if an Eagle will perform at a lower level than a hated rival.  And it's not the first time you've done it either.  You do it with the Flyers and the Phillies too.

Just sad, man.  Sad.

The taterskin lover in igy is surfacing before the season even starts.

[The BIGSTUD]

I don't know who is going to have more sacks, Cole or Taylor, but I'll say this. Going against Carter and Taylor every down when McNabb will have to wait 10 seconds for a WR to get open is scary. I hope Kolb is ready, because McNabb might not make it out of this division alive with the pass rush going on here.

[SD_Eagle5]

I don't think he's done at all. I just think that he won't make a lick of difference in the big picture and the more draft picks they give away the better.

I agree with this. I don't see the Skins as a sudden Superbowl contender because they added Jason Taylor. So why trade a future 2nd and 6th for him? He'll register double digit sacks for them next season but in the grand scheme of things this is the Skins adding another big name in the offseason. He's no doubt an upgrade over Daniels.

I'm a little disappointed there haven't been any Sean Taylor jokes yet. Taylor/Taylor/Miami/Skins etc.

does that mean youll ante up on the bet?...if not move on with romey


btw i was looking at  the heights and weights of nfl defensive ends and i was always under the impression that strahan was like 270-275 but all i see him listed as is 255...was this really his weight?...jesus he was jacked

[SD_Eagle5]

I think Strahan was in the 275 range 3-4 years ago then dropped 20 lbs to lengthen his career.

He used to be listed at 275 but always played at more like 265-270.... near the end of his career he was down around 255 though.

If Cole has any help at all this year he'll get more sacks than Taylor by a healthy margin. Cole's problem on the Eagles is the same as Taylor's problem on the taterskins. Who the hell else do you have to pass-block on these defenses? If either of them have help their numbers go up, if not they are what they are. I would give the edge to Cole in either case, which is why I said Cole would beat Taylor by a healthy margin with some help, but still they are in similar situations.

taylor has andre carter...killa has abiamiri...thats a huge gap

as much as i like killa he doesnt garner near the respect that taylor does...i think taylor might help carter get 15 sacks this year more than he himself might put up monster numbers which i dont think a 33 year old de can do...theres no question that taylor is on the decline but he still was dpoy two years ago and had double digit sacks last year and andre carter is better than what jt was across from last year

[Diomedes]

wanna go on record on who will have more sacks this year taylor or killa...ill take taylor

I'll take Cole for the record.
