[edit] MVP Award

The entry said that Taylor was one of only two defensive players to win the AP's Most Valuable Player award. In fact, he was the fourth the entry listing the winners (NFL Most Valuable Player Award shows DE Gino Marchetti in 1958, LB Joe Schmidt in 1960, and DT Alan Page in 1971. I updated the article accordingly. Anson2995 15:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Film Credit

"In 2004 Taylor began trying to start a career in acting, appearing in the Oliver Stone movie, Any Given Sunday." How does this work if AGS was filmed in 1999.


[edit] Drug Abuse

Similar problem: "After admitting to cocaine abuse in 1999, he was suspended from football for 30 days in 1988 after failing a drug test." This sentence doesn't make sense for obvious reasons. --Whit 20:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be noted that LT changed the way that teams now pick a QB. They are now forced to pick QBs that are bigger and stronger vs. accuracy and arm strength. Note what LT did to Neil Lomax, Joe Theisman and Ron Jaworski.
