Fred Taylor Looked Good at Mini Camp
Because I was not able to make it to mini camp this weekend, I thought I would post a couple of notes on Fred that can be found on the Jaguars Message Board.
In the 11×11s:
Fred Taylor is looking smooth and quick. Gone is the stutter step that was his trademark for many years. The more seasoned Fred Taylor continues to show outstanding patience, allowing blockers to set up in front of him, and then hitting the burners to burst through the line. He is looking as sharp as he did at any point last year. Granted, there is no contact to be found, but the way he allowed his blocks to set up, then finding the crease and accelerating through it was a thing of beauty.
In the 7×7s:
Fred Taylor showed some nice hands on a couple of plays out of the backfield. With Mathis not practicing, Brian Williams was victimized by the Pro Bowler, as Fred blew right by him.
Overall it seemed like a great session for Freddy. He came out looking like he should. He was fast and strong and showed poise running through the tackles.
