I can't help it: Ever since 2011, any mention of Ike Taylor instantly makes me recall how many times he got burned deep in our playoff win. Not only did he give up literally HALF THE FIELD against DT, just two plays later I believe he was also the guy who gave up the 30 yd TD to Royal in the corner of the end zone to set up a run of 20 unanswered points. We kinda broke the dude; he's 36 and hasn't played since 2014 (only 5 games then.)

Stewart was our best safety last season. He was an amazing signing right when we needed it. In my mind JFE pilfered him from the hated Ravens which makes the pickup and subsequent success that much sweeter

The defense is going to fine, if the offense improves this team will be deadly.
