Question About Terrance Taylor

by detpistons3 on Sep 6, 2009 10:07 PM EDT

We around the Detroit Lions SBNation site, PrideOfDetroit, have been discussing possible candidates to be claimed off waivers. As you know we had the worst record last season and our "prize" is first dibs on everyone cut by their team in order to whittle down the roster to 53.

Nearly everyone in the PoD community is a University of Michigan fan or have seen a good amount of their games, naturally we saw Terrance Taylor being cut and we all wanted to jump on him. Unfortunately, we've heard no news about Mayhew and Co. even discussing TT. Which led me to wonder, why did he get cut in the first place? Teams don't normally throw away their 4th rd picks away, even if it's apparent he's garbage they usually give him some time to develop. What led the Colt's to give Terrance Taylor his walking papers? What should one expect if they pick up Terrance Taylor? Couldn't the Colt's just have used him as trade bait? I mean he was a 4th rd pick that hasn't played a game yet, he comes with some potential. I recall the Colts going into the draft pretty thin at the DT position, so if someone was cut at DT, you have to figure they're pretty bad.

Thanks, any help is appreciated

Don't bother

I’m pretty sure he hates Detroit and said he wanted to be on the Indy practice squad.

Yeah.

You wouldn’t want him anyway. I heard he kills dogs in his spare time.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This is how I fell in love with Family Guy. Only 1 question: Where did he get the flamethrower?

They're messing with you cause they like TT.

I, for one, was shocked he was released.

Okay i missed that joke, obviously you guys want him to slip past waivers. Why was he cut in the first place?

No clue...

other than the obvious….we now find ourselves pretty deep at DT (I NEVER thought I’d type those words after last year) and he wasn’t as good as the guys we kept. I haven’t heard or read anything specific.

Thanks for the information

I really liked him at DT in Michigan, he once had 50 tackles in one season! I’ll be really dissapointed if we don’t nab him off waivers, especially considering we have next to no depth on the D-Line.

He's a project

Daniel Muir, Ed Johnson, Antonio Johnson, Eric Foster and Fili Moala aren’t or at least aren’t to his extent. That’s sadly why he got cut and why he may not make it on the practice squad. This thread makes me sad. I like Terrance Taylor and Adrian Grady and Marcus Howard. These cuts made me sad, but I’m sure they are for the best…
