[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 880344"] Sure. He got two starts at LT in 2017. Bakhtiari was injured and then his backup Kyle Murphy went down. I'm not sure he did really well objectively speaking. Respectable might be a better word. We could say he did really well if we qualify it with "under the circumstances". It was certainly all you could ask from a backup at such a critical and difficult position on short notice with little practice work at the position since entering the pros. He may not have had any work at OT since coming to Green Bay. It was Taylor's first year as a starter taking over at LG for Sitton after his last minute release. Then he had to flip to LT on short notice. I remember the interviews with teammates after that game. They were amazed at how well he did. 2018 was a bit of a down year, 2019 a lost year. I admit to having a soft spot for Taylor based on those preformances in a pinch. I don't think it is realistic, however, to believe he'll steal a job. I just think he's at the top of the list as an OT backup unless they move Turner out there. He's a Thomson guy, not a Gutekunst guy. If you thing that doesn't matter you'd be kidding yourself. Gutekunst spent a good draft pick on his future replacement last year then forced him to take a pay cut this year. That tells you something. If Taylor had not accepted the cut he'd surely be gone. He might get cut anyway if those Day 3 guys or a PS guy shows enough. I think that would be difficult in that there is so little experience on this bench and this camp is so short. However, I would not underestimate Gutekunst's evident value placed on this player. Out of curiosity I looked up what happened to Murphy after the Packers cut him at the end of 2018 after being on IR that season. He's still out there, bouncing from the Rams camp to the Texans' PS in 2019 and to the Texans' camp roster right now as far as I can tell. Dunno if he has any chance of making the roster. [/QUOTE]
