Seahawks snap count notes: Seattle uses nickel more, Clowney again plays a lot, Jefferson an iron man inside

The official snap counts for Seattle’s 28-26 win at Pittsburgh Sunday are out.

Here is some of what they reveal:

  • The Seahawks did indeed play a little bit more nickel — and at least one time some dime — defense on Sunday then they had the week before. Jamar Taylor was on the field for 19 of 57 possible snaps, 33 percent, while Akeem King also got two snaps. That compares to Ugo Amadi playing 20 of 75 possible snaps at nickel in week one against the Bengals, 27 percent, and King one. And that had Mychal Kendricks coming off the field a little bit more than he had in week one.
