I'd say the weirdest part is that penalties suddenly became a massive issue for Jawaan Taylor after joining the Chiefs.
Through the first four years of his career, Taylor had been called for 39 penalties over 4,437 snaps: 0.9% of total snaps. Of those 37 penalties, 15 ended up being false starts, and Taylor had been called for zero illegal formation penalties--much to the chagrin of Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa. Taylor’s always been known as a guy who times the snap right to the point where it looks like a false start — but it rarely ends up that way. Taylor’s also known for pushing his alignment further back on his pass sets — a thing most offensive tackles do in 2023.
Prior to this season, this was never an issue, but suddenly it is. Through three games as a Chief, Taylor has already been called for three false starts and three illegal formation penalties.
But I get that you're going to look at this through Broncos glasses.
