Taylor Mays' rookie season will he | Page 3

EdEs · 2010-06-10T15:24:43-07:00

I am a big fan of Taylor Mays, he batted down a Smith ball in the endzone but he still has a long way to go on pass coverage I like the potential and hope he will deliver. But what are your opinions of how soon he will start seeing playing time, and eventually start?

Could be a beast on ST, but should only see the field on D in blowouts, maybe obvious running situations.

Nice job of multi-tasking, eh?

Always leaving a good impression. Cheers.

NFL....every reciever is the best reciever Mays ever covered in college, quaterbacks are better and theres more pressure to perform.

basically hes NEVER gonna be a cover safety and unfortunetly thats exactly what we need.

someone missed his catch last night...

I saw it .....AND???

He played coverage and that's what your saying he can't do. Coach said that Mays earned that interception. He was not taught to go after the ball in USC but he is now, and he got a pick. An interception vs second stringers in the nfl is better than a couple of interceptions in college.

He'll earn a spot with the second team and then will take over when Michael Lewis has another concussion.

If you're right, then I hope for Lewis's sake its not career ending or potentially worse. That is not S**t you mess with.

Damn unfortunatly I think your gonna be right. Lewis isnt gonna change the way he plays, he's gonna come up and knock the snot out of ya if he can. Only a matter of time. Whether they ttrust Mays to come in to start and play the whole game, well we'll see.

I am impressed by his desire and work to get better mentally. I had my doubts when we drafted him but I am feeling pretty good about his chances.

He's going to get a lot of burn this season, despite being a rook, and it's only going to make him better as he develops his confidence. I think the chances are good that he's starter by year end.

Mays will play special teams and grow into that role. He'll be worked in slowly to certain def. packages. Hopefully, he'll earn the coaches trust at safety.

+1 The odds that Lewis stays healthy the whole season especially when we may actually go post season are pretty low. I love seeing our new guys play even when they make mistakes sometimes.
