Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters before practice on Wednesday to share his thoughts on staying with Jawaan Taylor at right tackle through his ongoing struggles with penalties.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he doesn\u2019t have the penalties, his percentage has been good, so you know, you could argue, he\u2019s one of the better tackles in his pass protection game,\u201d said Reid, so I\u2019m conscious of that, and then I\u2019ll take care of it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taylor hasn\u2019t statistically given up a sack this season and has only allowed three quarterback hits through the first three games of the season. Reid continues to defend Taylor\u2019s role on the offensive line, although there have been calls from critics to insert offseason free agent signing Jaylon Moore in his spot.<\/p>\n
The veteran offensive lineman is tied for the league lead with six penalties in three games for 45 yards, which includes two false starts and three holding infractions. Taylor is in the third year of a four-year, $80 million contract he signed in 2023. Last season, he battled through a partially torn meniscus that severely impacted his effectiveness on the offensive line.<\/p>\n
