Sorry about the hiatus, friends. This week's Tom Landry Hat is an award to represent the best work done collectively over Weeks 3 and 4. It's a no brainer: congratulations, Taylor. Between a busy week of work and becoming older than all of you combined last week, I honestly did not have time to give out a Landry Hat. If I did, though, I was going to do the right thing and give it to Taylor.
Taylor's play of Victor Cruz was gutsy and showed great foresight. He lost against Steve, but he still managed to right the ship and get his team back on course. Taylor's Week 3 performance reminded me of Chase Utley's heroics when the Phillies lost to the Yankees in the World Series (I think that happened in 1984, but I just can't justify doing all the research today, fellas).
Then last week it all came together for Occam's Razor. Taylor made Aaron Rodgers take a long, hard look in the mirror, and admit that quarterbacking an undefeated team is meaningless if you don't pile up grotesque fantasy points. After that long, hard look in the mirror, the two of them took another long, hard look, but this time at Erin Andrews. Then they all felt better about themselves and got the job done.
Oh yeah, Arian Foster came back and didn't suck. Plus, Taylor snagged Ryan Torain off waivers right before he broke out. One more tempting piece Taylor can use to manufacture future trades. He's dangerous, boys.
I'm going to miss Taylor. It was nice having some company down in the winless division, but I hope the rest of you enjoyed his losing streak while it lasted. John, sorry about burying your post. I liked it. Unfortunately, we recently learned that John only reads the first three-fourths of anything placed in front of him, so this apology will be lost on him, and I will be subjected to his wrath.
