There will never be another 21
On Sunday, we will officially retire Sean Taylor's number
— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) October 14, 2021
I can’t bite my tongue on this. How, why, would you, could you, have this very special day for the Taylor family, former teammates, and loyal fans without proper homage and notice? This is inexscusable on all levels #WashingtonFootball . Do better!

Statement from a spokesperson here. I do know some former players were contacted last month about this. You can do with it what you will. I’m out. pic.twitter.com/WXZH0ywjsl

Today highlights the issue here. It’s not just about winning games it’s also about rebuilding trust.

If you had asked me yesterday, I would have put “Sean Taylor jersey retirement” very high on the list of unbotchable events.

Wow. @JoshNorris just took the words right out of my mouth. Why are there only 10,000 towels being given out on Sunday? How much does it cost to make a commemorative towel? Why not have one ready for every single fan who enters that stadium?
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 14, 2021
Some notes: The first 10,000 fans Sunday will receive a Sean Taylor rally towel resembling the towel given away in 2007.
Players will wear helmet stickers honoring Taylor and full-time staff with wear #21 lapel pins.
The team's gameday program will feature Taylor on the cover. https://t.co/Xw0pN0Dqvh

Was wondering this too! Seeing Chiefs fans waving around after jumping out to 14 -0 lead would be awful

I think it’s clear that, like many other past players and countless countless fans, Sean Taylor deserved and deserves better than this organization
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 14, 2021
There’s no reason the WFT leadership can’t postpone retiring ST’s number and do it the right way. This was poorly planned. You’re a billion dollar company. Fix it. It’s not complicated. @WashingtonNFL
— BGObsession (@BGObsession) October 14, 2021
Since people are wondering Tim Hightower reached out to me on September 22nd to invite me to the @WashingtonNFL alumni weekend. In his text he told me they’d be honoring Sean and his family. Which I assumed was the reason I got the invite since I hadn’t been before.
— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) October 14, 2021
IF this was genuinely planned a long time ago, then two things are simultaneously true;
1) They did an awful job of promoting it ahead of the event.
2) They absolutely should have post-poned it so it wouldn't be in anyway tainted by what is going on around the team now.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) October 14, 2021
@WashingtonNFL @whoisjwright A hasty apology tossed out to media folks is inadequate. You made a mistake. Do this the right way. Reschedule the event and give Sean Taylor and his family and fans the day they deserve. Great organizations admit when they screw up and make it right.
— BGObsession (@BGObsession) October 14, 2021
Remember when feds busted into WFT in a drug investigation six days ago? That's like three uproars ago. The Ashburn circus is back.
— Rick Snider's Washington (@Snide_Remarks) October 14, 2021
You're dead last in the NFL in attendance.
You're starving for good pub.
You have a beloved franchise great whose jersey is maybe the single most popular one that you have & is being retired.
And you give fans just three days of notice.
Incredible.#WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/XRm4qRpVNX
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 14, 2021
If they announce it before season: I buy a ticket, I buy a flight, etc. I'm there.
Announcement now: Watching on TV.
Shame.
— Paul Conner (@P_ConnerJr) October 14, 2021
We wanted to do something long overdue by retiring players' numbers. Months ago we planned for Bobby Mitchell and Sean Taylor to be the first two. Seeing the reaction, I'm very sorry that the short notice does not properly reflect the impact Sean had. President's Brief to come...
— Jason Wright (@whoisjwright) October 14, 2021
I don't think the Sean Taylor announcement dropping three days before the game was a strategic distraction. But it was clearly a massive botch and fans are understandably hurt by it. This tweet today - 8 moths in advance of a concert - is a tough juxtapostion. #WashingtonFootball https://t.co/S0jzDFZfON
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 14, 2021
The fan base was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send soup back in a deli. #costanza
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 14, 2021
I'm very sorry that the short notice does not properly reflect the impact Sean had, but did y’all know that Coldplay will be here next June?!?!?
— Not Robert Griffin (@Pseudo_RGIII) October 14, 2021
Never been more tempted to abandon this team. They didn't realize people would want to go to a Sean Taylor retirement ceremony. That's the line they are going with. How utterly shameful.

Blink twice if you’re being held hostage

A few callers today asked if Joe Gibbs would be in attendance on Sunday. I've been told that he's not expected to attend homecoming / the Sean Taylor ceremony.
In the wake of Taylor's death, Gibbs held the organization (and city) together with grace and decency.

Scott Turner on if the shin limits Antonio Gibson: "No. he's good. He's not limited. We take care of him during the week and we make sure he's ready to go, but as of now once Sunday hits he's ready to go."
Note: Kansas City the 29th-ranked run defense
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 14, 2021
The #chiefs are 5th in scoring, 4th in total offense, 7th in rushing, 5th in passing, 1st on third down, 4th in sacks allowed, 6th in redzone, 5th in yards per play.
Tied for last in the NFL in turnovers.
Didn’t see that coming 5 games in.
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) October 14, 2021
Despite the early struggles that the WFT defense has had as a whole, the defensive line has top 5 rankings in the following @profootballfocus categories:
2nd in PFF pass rush grade
2nd in pass rush win %
4th in pressure %
5th in hurries(Via @Andrew_Fenichel @profootballfocus pic.twitter.com/9NlobKk2TW

Washington, which has lost its last eight meetings with the Chiefs, hasn't played them since Oct. 2, 2017.
So Sunday will be Washington's introduction to Patrick Mahomes. pic.twitter.com/SrC2Lup46l
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 14, 2021
We did last year, and 2015. And 2016. And 2013. And 2014.
The years we lost, however, are probably more than the years we won. Lost in 2010(colts SNF), 2011(49ers), 2012(panthers), 2017(Vikings), 2018(Texans), 2019(49ers)
So, 4-6 in alumni games

Lots of talk about Justin Tucker recently, because he got the longest field goal and other kickers are missing left and right.
So I updated my career kicker performance chart, which measures true performance relative to expectation (based on distance and weather) pic.twitter.com/pE92gaLnZP

Tress Way feels like he’s hit a few lower punts this year and is a “little frustrated” with his performance so far. Loves how his coverage team is working for him and is looking to get into his “groove” ASAP pic.twitter.com/W3u9wti3MC

“We turned it (the money) down because we see the bigger picture, and we have always been after meaningful change, both within the organization and across the league.” - Megan Imbert @NFL your response is unacceptable. We have been gaslighted, disrespected & victim blamed. https://t.co/4X94pYQJHB

In your eyes do you have to draw a line on what you can & can't do as an insider??

Jack Del Rio on the Jon Gruden emails: "It was, I guess, shocking. Embarrassingly bad for a person in that position to have those kinds of thoughts and to express them like that. I don't have much respect for it."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) October 14, 2021
Asked about Alex Smith’s comments that Washington’s defense has been “predictable” defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio firmly disagrees. “Anybody can take shots”
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 14, 2021
More Del Rio: "There's not going to be an answer where everyone says, 'OK' and you stop questioning..." He said people can "question it until we play at a higher level. The bottom line is we're working hard on this."
