The Washington Redskins acquire DE Jason Taylor

The Redskins acted quickly to replace injured DE’s Phillip Daniels and Alex Buzbee by acquiring Jason Taylor from the Dolphins for a 2nd round pick in 2009 and a 6th round pick in 2010.  Despite getting up in age, Taylor is still an impact player.  He played in 16 games for the Dolphins last season and he made 55 tackles, defensed 4 passes, had 11 sacks, forced 4 fumbles and he intercepted a pass that he returned 36 yards for a TD.  Look for Taylor to add to his Hall of Fame credentials by making a huge impact on the Redskins’ defense in 2008.  Taylor has now played in 172 games in his NFL career and he has made 662 tackles, defensed 77 passes, has 117 sacks, forced 40 fumbles and he’s intercepted 7 passes (3 of which he returned for TDs).  This was a great move for the Redskins.

The Redskins have lost starting DE Phillip Daniels for the season due to a torn ACL which he will have surgery on this coming Friday ending his season.  He was injured in practice today as well as DE Alex Buzbee who will also miss the season (ruptured ACL).  Daniels played in 15 games for the Redskins last season and he had 37 tackles, defensed 9 passes, had 2.5 sacks and he forced 4 fumbles.  The Redskins made a quick move to rectify this situation.

The fullback position is very important to the Washington Redskins’ offense

Mike Sellers doesn’t get much fanfare but he’s a big part of the offense.  He is a huge guy at 6′3″, 284 pounds and it’s like having an extra guard on the field with him in the game.  Sellers played in 14 games (12 starts) with the Redskins last season and he carried the ball 26 times for 78 yards (3.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 17 passes for 117 yards (6.9 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Look for Sellers to have another good season doing the dirty work for the Redskins’ offense.  Sellers has now played in 115 games (41 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 40 times for 132 yards (3.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  He has also caught 73 passes for 582 yards (8.0 avg) with 15 TD grabs in his career.

Nehemiah Broughton will likely be the backup at fullback for the Redskins in 2008.  The 5′11″, 255 pound Broughton did not play at all last season.  He has played in 6 games (0 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 1 time for 3 yards.
