Washington’s giving Phil Taylor another chance to complete an amazing comeback.

According to Liz Clarke of the Washington Post, the veteran nose tackle is coming back on a one-year deal.

Taylor missed last season after tearing his left quadriceps during the preseason, and has battled knee problems throughout his career.

The former Browns first-rounder hasn’t played in the league since November 2014, but was penciled into the starting lineup for Washington last year in what would have been an incredible return from injuries. Now he gets another chance to do it at age 30, which will be that much more impressive.

How’d big Phil catch the boot from here again? Was he one of the apartment fighters?

He had two, and if I remember correctly, it was the second one involving something at a swimming pool that got him bounced.

I am not sure, IIRC it was more guilt by association with the other DT. I dont think there was a fight, I think they just pushed some girls in the pool at a pool party and thats a big deal now.

The other DT was Chris Baker, who I think is also with the Redskins.

I had totally forgotten about the pool party incident. Man, those 2006-2008 offseasons were a wild ride off-the-field.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Penn State defensive tackle Chris Baker was sentenced to two years of probation after entering guilty pleas
in two cases involving two separate fights.

Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira says Baker pleaded guilty Friday to misdemeanor simple assault and criminal
trespass in connection with a fight at an off-campus apartment in April 2007.

Madeira says Baker also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor simple assault for a fight at the campus student union last October. All
other charges in both cases were dismissed.

Besides probation, Madeira says Baker must pay about $2,500 in restitution covering both cases.

Baker had been suspended from the team. However, coach Joe Paterno has allowed Baker to start working out again with the
squad.

I wondered if those off seasons were in the back of the minds of the OGBoT when they fired Joe - and that the Sandusky incident was just something easier for them to hang their hat on.

Think it involved Chris Bell.

I thought Chris Bell was a knife in the Student Union, and JS broke it up?

You’re right, but it was in the dining hall and McQueary broke it up. I think it was a dispute over a cell phone case.

How can he come back to play if he resigns?

Oh.....he re-signs.

Nevermind.

Pretty sure the accounts I read said Bell was involved in both mentioned. My memory is def fuzzy on those. Either way, we had a bunch of really good players, some with more baggage than typical for PSU.

I fixed it for you, thanks for bringing to my attention.

Taylor was just being a dumbass at a time when not even dumbassery could be tolerated.

Was Taylor one of the casualties of the post-OTL crackdown?

Why does this sound like something out of "Clue"??

One of the grammatical things that drives me nuts. Not that I'm perfect....

Yep and he went for Devon Still....just another example of poor decision making by Bell
