The players and coaches are the ones who get to vote. I think this is a nice way to remember him.

No disrespect intended, I'm just stating my opinion. Let me get that out of the way.Why is this any different from what Michael Vick's teammates did 2 weeks ago and got fined for? They weren't paying a tribute to what Michael did, they were paying tribute to their teammate, friend, brother. Michael Vick did a disgracful, inhumane thing.
Now, Sean Taylor had openingly admitted beating his wife, stabbing his brother's friend, robbing/stealing from people. He was in a gang, yes he wanted to change his life around, but only when he found out his wife and kid was being targeted. This is why a knife was found on his bed the week prior to the break in where he got shot. Sean Taylor died from a direct influence of his lifestyle! So are you going to pay a tribute to what a thug Sean Taylor was? Are you paying a tribute to him stabbing a man in the back while he was walking away? Are you paying tribute to him for beating his wife?
You asked for "our" thoughts. There ya go.

I say the NFC plays with 10 players on the field if he is voted in as a starter. That would be the best feel good story since Invincible (hard to say that with a straight face, maybe Rudy or Remember the Titans). Even if you disagree with the symbolism, he was a lock for the spot based on his first 8 games or so, so vote as much as you can.

A nice tribute. I approve. Had he lived, he wopuld have gone anyhow...I hope that on the first play they use the 10 man formation again...before bringing in the alternate.

It's a nice tribute, and he would have been deserving of the honor.
