• Jamar Taylor is making a good run at the slot cornerback position. As the week of practice finished, Taylor ended up as the team’s No. 1 slot cornerback. Taylor is competing against Akeem King, Kalen Reed, Ugo Amadi and others for the role.
If Taylor has a good game and another good week of practice, he could win the job. Coming out of college, some coaches thought he had the talent to be Pro Bowl-caliber slot corner. What some coaches feared is that if he was moved to outside corner, it could take away from his game. That happened, and Taylor ended up getting cut several times. Carroll is only going to use Taylor in the slot if he makes the team.
..... it (nickle cornerback competition) remains one of the more intriguing battles for a starting spot on the roster, and because there are four players battling for the job—Akeem King, Kalan Reed, Jamar Taylor and Ugo Amadi—it’s likely going to take all four preseason games to settle things.
