Yes, he goes back deep on his sets. Because we work from the shotgun and Mahomes takes deep drops. Brown DIDN'T do that and people killed him for THAT. For 2 years we complained that OBJ wasn't getting back in his set and now that Taylor does we complain about that.
So much so that we even blame the failures of other players on it. Now that Taylor does do it, people blame Smith struggling on him. And when you go to the tap on it and Smith's just getting bullied backwards, people just ignore it and go back to "Taylor takes deep sets!".
Bottom line is that folks will NEVER be happy with the OTs here because nobody bats 1.000 and anytime Mahomes gets hit, the OTs get barbecued for it.
It's all gotten fairly repetitive at this point. And in many instances (such as 'Taylor was as bad as Thuney') just so fundamentally rooted in nonsense that it's just not worth addressing.

We could live with his pressure rate allowed. Adding on the asinine penalties makes him one of the worst RTs in the NFL. I swear to **** he kills two drives a game all by himself and the percentage of negative plays seems to back up that notion. I championed signing this cat too when he became a free agent but I've conceded he's just not that great. His contract makes it worse because we can't even get out of it to move on to greener pastures until 2026. Hell, we could have kept Wylie who has played just as well if not better most of the time in Washington.
This year, you had the added bonuses of Smith having a bad year, Caliendo sucking shit, and Thuney playing a position he has no business playing. That just makes watching Taylor do his dumb shit worse.
