Taylor Mays
Wikipedia says he’s our new safeties coach, so you know it’s true.

Can he be a player-coach? I probably have the scouting ability of Ray Charles, but I always thought he was one of the best college safeties I’d ever seen.

Always about the Jews with this place

Wait until we get our Jews in there…
probably won’t fit on a mug -

consider the NIL funded

I still maintain that Mays would have chosen UW over USC if Ty was winning natties and Carroll was the most dogshit coach in USC history. I truly believe that.

This has been a weird fucking coaching tenure. I'm tired.

Fucking dumb ass Ai.

he wasn’t. Too stiff.

Ray is not the worst scout. He had serious closing speed, check the tape. Shot straight out of cannon. Never fooled by screens and eye candy, he was all ears. And once he got his hands on you, forget about it. Not many missed tackles. Very strong in the hands.

More than that, his dad was Stafford Mays, a DWAG in the early 80s

this is the most ridiculous post I've seen, in a lifetime filled with looking at ridiculous posts
-
Well played, sir

That fits a mug

2nd page and still no joobs. Sad.
Fags.

Space Laser backfield sounds pretty legit.

I wonder if he would have been better as a 3-4 OLB and bulking up to 250 lbs +. His main drawback was agility for playing so far away from the ball in the NFL. Tough to expect a guy that big (6'3" 236 lbs) to have a ton of a agility and playing in so much space.
-
He was a stud but PC chose Earl Thomas instead with his first Seahawk draft. Smart move.
-
Wasn't his career a big disappointment? Like, I recall he wasn't even that great at USC and I think was a total nobody in the pros. Another one of these physical freaks - size, huge speed, etc. - that don't do shit for whatever reason.
Take that back. I think he had a decent career at SC. Finalist for the Thorpe would suggest that. He also has one other redeeming quality:
Mays also said that he models his game after former USC safety and Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott and the late Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor: "He's been my favorite player. I look up to (former USC safety) Ronnie Lott, too. That's what's special being in this program, living up to the safeties here."
But the hype was huge, and understandably so. There are not a lot of football players with real and documented 10.5 100 meter speed. A lot of people who claim it, but not a lot of people who actually have it. He did, and that size it's pretty incredible.
-
He was overrated. As someone above posted, he could have been a pretty awesome linebacker. He was horrible in space as a safety.
-
From what I remember he was one of those guys who was actually better in his first couple years of college then coasted on it despite regressing. Showing up at the combine 6'3 230 and running a god damn 4.43 yet still going deep in the second round shows how questionable he was as an NFL player.

Playing ability≠coaching ability
Can he coach?

“Ever since January when Pete Carroll took the Seattle Seahawks job, Taylor Mays said he had been thinking he would only have to drive a few miles over a few bridges from Seattle to Renton, Wash., to meet the press after being drafted into the NFL.
So when pick after pick was announced and his name wasn't being called, Mays sat in front of the television, stunned, and he started to blame Carroll for his plight.”
