JT was very underwhelming as a pass blocker last season...and that's being kind. In his previous seasons he was merely adequate.
There is also the fact that JT gets pulled in passing situations. If he wants to get paid he needs to become a complete back.

The pass blocking is secondary. Taylor and a “good” O-line can get a team 3-4 yd/carry. Short yardage 3rd down situations. Taylor can break one long at any time, bigger threat than pass protection.
I love the Edge, from pass blocking to taking a cab to preseason camp in Terra Haute. Taylor is a different guy and he helps the Colts more by carrying the ball
