Browns notebook: Taylor can dance, but can he still play?

BEREA Sure, Jason Taylor can dance, but can he play football?
The Redskins haven't gotten much out of the 34-year-old sack master, who got voted off the island by new Dolphins czar Bill Parcells in the wake of his "Dancing With the Stars" offseason romp.
Taylor is recovering from a calf injury that cost him two games. He played Sunday in a loss to St. Louis. His only 2008 sack was in Game 2 against the Saints.
Taylor began the summer in Dolphins training camp, but Parcells was no fan of one of his players losing time to the two-step.
"Some people have different agendas, and people want to question things, and that's fine," Taylor said. "You can't please everybody."
Taylor, who seems likely to please enough Pro Football Hall of Fame voters to win a bronze bust before the next decade is out, said he visited the Hall once a year during the 1990s with his college team, the Akron Zips.
"It's a dream, sure. ... Getting in would be very humbling," Taylor said. "If I could get one vote I would probably be happy, but we'll see what happens."
Taylor was an Akron junior in 1995, the Browns' last season before they moved to Baltimore.
The Ravens could have gotten him cheaply in the 1997 draft. He wound up being picked by Miami in the third round at No. 73 overall.
