RENTON — The numbers say Seahawks nickel cornerback Jamar Taylor played pretty well last week in his most significant action in what is his first season in Seattle.
The words of his coaches say he did, as well.
“He showed up and he made his plays,’’ said defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. of Taylor, who played 47 percent of the snaps in Seattle’s 30-29 win over the Rams last Thursday, the most that the Seahawks have used a nickel defense this season.
According to Pro Football Focus, Taylor had nine passes thrown his way and allowed just four receptions, for 61 yards, breaking up two passes and allowing only a 67.
