Tracking the Preaux Career of Ike Taylor

[Cajun Express]

As far as I know Rome has been dropped in Lafayette.

Looking for options, does he stream his show and dos anyone know if perhaps WWL carries his show?

No WWL in New Orleans on Rome. You can catch it on 1210 AM in Baton Rouge. I think it does not play in it's normal time frame.

Sorry, I now live in Houston and I forgot that Lafayette dropped Rome. That is a shame, I liked listening to the Rome show. What is in it's place now.

Steel City shakeup: Cowher benches top CB Taylor
By Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com

Only two months after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Ike Taylor to a $22.5 million contract extension, the team's top cornerback has been relegated to a role in the dime coverage package.

In the wake of the Steelers' dismal 2-6 start, the worst eight-game record ever for a defending Super Bowl champion, coach Bill Cowher suggested he might make some lineup changes. And he began by benching Taylor, who was strafed by Denver wide receiver Javon Walker in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos, and replacing him with second-year veteran Bryant McFadden at left cornerback.

The move is a significant one, given that Taylor is regarded as the Steelers' top coverage defender, and is frequently assigned to cover the opponent's best wide receiver. On Sunday, however, Walker caught six passes for 134 yards, including a pair of 10-yard touchdowns on similar fade routes, where Taylor was the primary defender. Taylor also missed a tackle when Walker scored on a 72-yard run on a reverse.

"It's just something I've got to fight my way through," Taylor said. "[Cowher] just said, 'Fight your way out of it,' and that's what I've got to do."

Taylor, 26, likely will play in dime coverage packages, when Pittsburgh uses six defensive backs. Unlike most teams, the Steelers rarely deploy in a nickel alignment in the secondary.

A second-round choice in the 2005 draft, McFadden played primarily in dime situations as a rookie, and was impressive enough that many observers felt he would challenge veteran Deshea Townsend for the starting job at right cornerback this season. Townsend retained the No. 1 job, but McFadden has started two games for him this year because of injury.

The former Florida State standout is an aggressive defender, one who plays much faster than his stopwatch speed, and who possesses excellent closing speed.

Taylor was a fourth-round choice in the 2003 draft and the former Louisiana-Lafayette star, who moved into the starting lineup in 2005, was seen as one of the NFL's emerging young talents at cornerback. He is blessed with prototype size (6-foot-1, 196 pounds) for the position, sub-4.4 speed, and recovery skills. And while Taylor has terrible hands -- by his own estimation, he dropped at least 10 would-be interceptions last season -- he led the league in 2005 with 25 passes defensed.

So highly did the Steelers value Taylor that defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau often flipped him from side to side to match him up against the opponent's most dangerous receiver. Rather than face the possibility of losing Taylor as an unrestricted free agent next spring, the Steelers in September signed him to a five-year contract extension that included a $6.4 million signing bonus.

Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor already has experienced many of the proverbial highs and lows pro football has to offer. A little-known fourth-round draft pick in 2003, Taylor became a starter last season and quickly developed into one of the NFL's elite shutdown corners as the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. Trib: Denver's Javon Walker caught six passes for 134 yards and two touchdows against you. What happened in that game? Taylor: It's football. It's going to be some days like that. It's going to be some more days like that. But you want more positive days than negative days. He's a great receiver; had a good day. I didn't have an up-to-par day. Trib: Are you the same defensive back as before? Did you lose a step? Taylor: There's no step slow, no nothing. I've still got swagger. I've still got confidence. I was born with that. It's just growing pains. Every day ain't going to be sunny. You're going to have some rainy days. That's how I look at it. I had swagger before football, before (signing a new contract), and going to have it after contract. I've been doing this stuff since I was small. I want to do it until my wheels fall off, until my body tells me I can't do it no more. The rest of the story By John Harris TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Ike Taylor seems to be the only player to have forgotten where he played college ball at. God bless him and I hope he gets his job back. But since he has forgotten he was a Cajun Football player it means a lot less to me on a personal level.
