The whole point of the article was that Taylor is as important to the Steelers' defense as Revis is to the Jets and that Pittsburgh was fortunate, from a salary cap standpoint, that Taylor's total package was perceived as less valuable than Revis' ability to create turnovers.

EDIT: that article may have been about Asomugha, can't remember. The point is the same, Taylor is a better tackler than most CBs.

Yes he can tackle but I was saying he wasn't the best tackle the Steelers have. And more so your CB shouldnt be the team's best or lead the team in tackles lol.

Only thing Ike doesn't do is catch INT's. Can't be sure of the numbers but his aren't very high over the last few years. Combination of things I know
