That remains to be seen. He hasn't played downs at RT that we can assess.
And to assume that he'll play as well on the right side, in the NFL, is silly.
None of us know that he'll be able to make the transition without missing a beat.



That'd be ideal, but I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen.
The guy doesn't have the right head on his shoulders to do that.

What Taylor does as well as anyone is get underneath the defender's pad and hold his position.

He uses leverage as well as anyone I've seen.

That is not ideal for the RT position because you want a mauler, a guy that can push defenders, maybe knock them on their ass on occassion and get into the second level and knock another on his ass.

But what he does well is still better than McSuckintosh.
