none of the afflicted are offensive skill players.','12/12/2003','10:45:00 AM','Friday',818 6386,14,15,'Taylor Not Worried About Patriot Run D...','According to Florida Times-Union staff writer Vito Stellino, Fred Taylor doesnt seem concerned that the New England Patriots held Miamis Ricky Williams to 68 yards last Sunday on 25 carries, including just 8 yards on his first seven rushes.
