and edge meeting with ariz today..................
What is the hype regarding Taylor? I feel M Morris is a better fit for us and he might come at a cheaper price.
What's so great about Chester, Mr. Backup, Taylor? I don't know much about him, other than that. Ran for like 400-some yards last year. So what? Is he better than what we got? I'd save the money and stick to getting a RB in the 1st round rather than go after him. It's just a meeting, so we'll see . . .

Has solid versatility - good change of pace back that can come in the game and be effective on 3rd down. Shows excellent hands and adjust ability - catches the ball well out of the backfield (swings, screens and check downs). Solid vision and run instincts. Patient runner that will wait for blocks to develop. He is more quick than fast - good quickness in the hole - good lateral cut-back ability. Willing in blitz pick-ups - solid vision to see the blitz but due to his lack of size, can be over powered at times. He is not a powerful in-line runner - goes down 1 x 1 too often. Does not finish his runs with good pop. Overall, he is a good athlete with solid running and receiving skills. Can give a teams solid backup reps - runs with good instincts and catches the ball well out of the back-field.

That's a good question...................................#17 draft pick RB.RB.RB.
I'm starting to wonder if maybe Childress is going to let Onterrio be the starter.
Chester Taylor is just a poor-man's MeMo, and he shouldn't even be showing up.....Fran Foley and Childress must be half-tarded.....I can't see any reason to pick up a guy like this! None, we already have what he has to offer in MeMo....
Did you all forget that Priest Holmes was Jamal Lewis' backup for a while too?
