Cliff Avril: What Seahawks’ Taylor needs to become ‘better than me’

Now, Taylor is set to enter his fourth season, which is also the last year of his rookie contract. What does the Tennessee product need to improve upon?

“I think consistency (is the main thing for him),” Avril said. “And I tell all these guys this every time I meet with them, I’m like, ‘Consistency is the name of the game,’ right?”

That goes well beyond just increasing the amount of sacks that Taylor gets in 2023, Avril said.

“Making the quarterback uncomfortable in the pocket might not necessarily show up in the stat, but a coach will take a guy that gets you eight sacks but has 50 hurries in a season over a guy that gets you 15 sacks and that’s all he gets you for the season,” Avril said. Per Pro Football Reference, Taylor had 21 hurries in 2021 and 20 in 2022.

If Taylor does get more consistent, Avril sees some very big things for the young pass-rusher.
