Unable to wear No. 99 with his new team because it belongs to Bryan Thomas, Taylor chose No. 95 to honor former Dolphins defensive tackle and Jets hater Tim Bowens. "Timbo was one of my all-time favorites," Taylor told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "He's the most unselfish, underrated teammate I've ever had." Bowens, who played 11 seasons in Miami before he was waived in 2005, called Taylor “a Dolphin for life.” The Sun Sentinel says, “No Dolphin hated the Jets as much as Bowens did during Bowens’ years with the Dolphins.” “As long as it’s him, it’s cool,” Bowens said of Taylor wearing the number for the Jets. “He’ll still be a Dolphin for life. The funny thing is, he was the same way. But the business side of it, I understand. Tell him I wish him ‘Good luck,’ and I hope he does well.” In the midst of a seven-game losing streak to the Jets, Bowens in 2001 said, "Every day we think about the Jets. I'm not the only one.

It's like he has no desire for the fans to warm up to him at all and is making it even harder to root for him.
Not true, he's already said he hopes he won't get boo'd at home AND on the road. You guys are nuts for not rooting for JT. I'm looking forward to him smashing some dolphins. How do you think that will make the fins fans feel?
Who are you going to root for next?? Soon the Pats will fade back into oblivion. Will you hop on the Jets bandwagon? Just curious-
It must kill Jason Taylor to wear Green and White haha I LOVE IT!!! Sold his soul to the devil for a ring/chance to play. We own his ass now all this bullshit is whatever.
taylor is wearing the jersey because he respects the guy. the paper is the one making a big deal about the jets hating. get a grip everybody.
A Patriots fan in New York City. You have TWO teams to root for, and you pick the Patriots. I highly doubt you grew up idolizing Grogan. You must be a Patriots Fan (c) 2001.
