The Development of Jonathan Taylor (Film room Video)
 

Ever since Marlon Mack went down with an Achilles injury in week 1, running back Jonathan Taylor has taken over the RB #1 duties for the Indianapolis Colts.
As of Week 6 in the NFL 2020 season, Indy is only 28th in Yards per game, and dead last as a team in rushing yards per attempt. (Taylor is 28th for NFL RB's at 4.1 YPC)
Is Taylor developing properly?
Is he not the player we thought he was entering the draft?
Is this an offensive line issue?
I dive into the ALL-22 film room to find out what is going on.

Almost all of Taylor's runs have been between the tackles, yet he has speed. I'd like to see a few runs outside. I believe he's faster than Mack was, isn't he?

Feels like he’s pressing, he needs a big game for confidence but I think he’ll be ok.

That play where he trucked that titans was fuckin awesome just give me 1 of those every game and that’s fine with me

I’m not impressed with the blocking on some of his runs on Thursday. Three of his runs there was contact behind the LOS. I think the was one run outside the box, everything inside. If I can figure it out, a dumb DC can figure it out as well

I'm not going to even mention anything about JT's rushing yards today against the Raiders

His blitz pickups were the best I've seen in a long time!

That one where the DB fucking perfectly jumped the snap and had a CLEANNN look at Rivers was something else.

I was pissed the commentator's didn't give JT props for that. That was one of the best blocks I've seen a back on this team make, ever.

Wish I could have been in the stadium to hear those pads pop too.

I too was pissed that they gave no mention of that block.

Yeah same thoughts here, didn't even see a replay of it from what i can remember.

I’ve been a little worried about JT’s development. Usually RB’s acclimate to the NFL fast and you know if they are good or not. But I tried to keep in mind this is an unusual year and covid has wrecked everything in some way. Last night helped alleviate that, although that Raiders defense was imploding.
