What good is the deep safety, Cover 2 scheme if Mays can\'t protect against the deep play? I\'ll deal with the lack of interceptions and pass deflections, and I\'ll buy into the notion that the scheme is the reason for that. But Mays is rendering this cover 2, bend- don\'t-break completely useless if the defense breaks repeatedly. It\'s bending AND breaking. The very thing Mays is ...

The very thing Mays...
I agree totally. He simply has no field sense and his first step is sluggish and generally not in the right direction. He is not quick enough to play safety in the NFL.

If Mays is really playing as well as he can, then maybe he\'s just not talented enough to play in the NFL. Someone like Sean Payton is going to call plays leaving Taylor Mays running in circles in the NFL.

Sure, wave the loyalty flag and bury your head in the sand rather than talk in any intelligent way about the team\'s problems and how it can fix them. Watch out for the rocks below, lemming.

Oh well, perhaps he can get coached up in the NFL and become a better player.

Please shut up Mays has played his ass off nothing he can do when Everson Griffin is getting beat every single play. And when our linebackers have there feet in the mud.
Mays hasn\'t played his ass off since he got hurt. That kid is playing not to get hurt so he can be ready for draft day. He hasn\'t made two good tackles all year.
