Taylor played good at Minnesota last week and just some things I saw he needs to start correcting. I'm not calling for Brion or anything like that, just he has started a lot of games now and needs to improve some of his game. Passing 1. He has to move his feet when he throws. It's causing a timing problem with the receivers. If he would step into a throw instead of his front foot parallel to the line of scrimmage, he wouldn't throw behind receivers nearly as often. 2. Still likes to stare down receivers. 90% of young QB's struggle with this, but it's time to start breaking the habit. 3. He has to be willing to scramble more often. He doesn't have the greatest O-Line in the world and can't sit back in the pocket all day. Running 1. If your going to run, then run with authority. He still hesitates way too much and leaves a lot of yardage on the field. Twice against Minnesota he would have been in for a TD if he ran tougher. 2. Be careful with the pitch. I would much rather take a two yard loss then a fumble that results in a loss of 8 yards or a fumble. 3. Make moves in the open field. I've watched him run right into people way too many times. He's a good enough athlete to not have any moves.
