[size=13pt]Taylor playing part of 'ultimate professional'[/size]

The second option in the Vikings' 1-2 running punch does all he can to win

Nice piece. I hope Taylor realizes how important he is to this franchise. If AD gets hurt we've got a great backup and if you can put them both on the field at the same time it will confuse a lot of defenses.

Oh man, Taylor is extremely important.
It cuts the workload down for AP so we don't have to wear him down, and he'd be a more than adequate fill in if the unspeakable happens.

The dual running back combo is a proven winner.
CT is incredibly important to the health of our offense.

Great article... It's a great feeling to have the best 1-2 punch in the league.

With T-Jacks scrambling ability (although I realize T-Jack is a pass first QB), I think we'll easily be the #1 rushing team again. I hope we see T-Jack use his legs more to make plays... but that's just my opinion.

He is very talented and a very strong runner. He looks to be in great shape and will really give us an edge in the running game.

So true.

But I still kinda feel bad for him, just a year removed from exiting a backup role for a starter position, he gets put back on a 'backup' role.
I'm glad he's got class, though.
He completely is handling his situation with grace, which is why he is one of my favorite players.

God forbid something happen to 28, I pray that 29 has just an explosive year as AP's rookie campaign.

If he does I hope he learns how to slide more. When he got that concussion he did so because he didn't slide.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that.
Seriously, when he got knocked out, that scared me.
Not because I have any sort of manlove towards him, but because I just don't like seeing stuff like that, no matter who he is.

If you have a mancrush it is ok!

But I agree I HATE concussions or anything of that sort because you can never tell what is wrong with them... I hate injuries period on any team.
