Fred Taylor is literally the reason I watch football. I started watching while he was at UF and then he got picked by the Jags I started watching the Jags.


Most memorable run personally was the play where he ran over Mike Doss largely because it was the only time I had front row seats and it was right in that end zone he was running into.


As far as memorable play for simply the play it was a 10 or so yard pass play actually against Carolina. He got a short pass, BULLDOZED a guy head on(somewhat 2 guys, but one of them wasnt a direct hit on him) so those 2 are on the ground, he moves up 4 or 5 yards and another guy comes flying in and he just slips to the side, I dont think the guy even touched him, but in doing so he ran into another guy, ends up being brought down by 3 guys. Stat wise its a short play with no TD, but it took essentially 5 guys to take him down and it showed both his power and his agility. Especially combining it with a play also in that game that was like a 60 yard untouched TD I think is the perfect way to look at him. He was physically able to do ANY MOVE a RB could do, switching from a power back to a scat(sp?) back to a speed burner from one step to the next.


Another would probably be the Colts play where he goes right, runs back across the field to the left, slows down to let the QB come up and block, bulldozes one guy, then the guy the QB "blocked" and another guy at once, then bursts for 20ish yards after man handling those guys physically, I just love the plays that showcase just how varied his running style could be.


Also have to mention the 90 yard TD against Miami in the playoffs. He made 3-4 guys miss grasping for air in the first 10 yards then just flies down the field. One of those jukes though was crazy, the guy was still like 5 yards away and fell for it anyway, incredible play.


Could talk about Fred plays ALL DAY.
