First, pressures are not that important a line stat. They are subjective in nature and some offensive designs (like the Chiefs) naturally rack more up. So does Mahomes play style. The Chiefs average around 240 pressures a year going back several seasons. By comparison, for example the Bengals average around 170.
Where is this pressures nonsense coming from? Butthurt Chiefs fans on Twitter upset because it seems the Chiefs could not close the deal - it broke down over something. So they went after Taylor while the Bengals WERE able to close the deal.
First off I’m a bengals fan, don’t think it’s a a bad signing if they play him at right tackle but sure as hell am scared about him being our starting left tackle….whatever makes you feel better……pressures don’t matter bahahahaha…. you obviously hadn’t paid attention to why he became available….KC didn’t want to bring him back as their left tackle so they were only interested in paying him to be their right tackle for much less money. They paid Taylor a ton more because they wanted him to be their left tackle and told Orlando Brown Jr they weren’t bringing him back. It was widely reported the first couple of days around the league that teams did not see him as a starting left tackle and he wasn’t getting much interest. The only interest he was really getting was from the bengals and the bears and the bears were the only ones who were willing to pay as much as the bengals but they too only saw him as a right tackle. He thinks he is a left tackle and we told him if he comes here he can be a left tackle so there you have it he is a bengal now. I hope it works out but if they plan to play him at left tackle which by all accounts that’s why he is coming here I have a lot of doubts when most of the league doesn’t view him as a starting left tackle and the defending super bowl champs could have easily brought him back but decided to pay someone else a lot more money to come take his place.
