Sorry Shun. You lost me on the comparison to OT’s. Jawaan Taylor is a big upgrade over Wylie. Remember both Orlando and Wylie had over 6% pressure rate. They led the league in pressures given up by an OL.
Simply getting Taylor helps significantly bc one side is locked down. Taylor gave up less than 3% pressure rate in an Andy Reid scheme last year. He was an ideal fit.
I get you’re down on Smith but to me he’s close to a scratch with Orlando. Orlando gave up over 40 pressures last year. Watch the Bengals championship game again. They protected him the entire game bc of how bad he was.
If Smith is that bad at least it will be equal for less pay and they can help with chips while not worrying about the other side.
Really the big negative was that Veach said they were looking for the long term LT. At this present time he hasn’t found one.
