I was curious to see what would happen here. Jackson seemed to play an equal amount on each side of the field with both Browner and Sherman lined up across from him. Both of his catches were for very short gains. Jackson wasn't targeted deep all game long.
Meh, this wasn't a game to be happy about defensively. We sucked giant, throbbing, veiny, #### on defense. It was a ####show we should not be proud of. It is similar to saying we stopped the LG from scoring a TD.
One of the things I enjoy so much about Pete Carroll as a coach is that he's not wrapped up in positive and negative emotional responses like the average fan. They have "Tell the truth Mondays" for a reason. They will watch the film and everyone will get graded. The CBs will grade out well. Perhaps after you have your emotional rant you'll take a moment to consider who played well and who played poorly. Further, you might note that they made great adjustments after halftime and only have up three points in the final thirty five minutes.
He made All-Pro last year without them (even if you think he took them, he certainly didn't after the test). This year he's among the CBs leading the league in interceptions. There was no dropoff from his supposed PED use and he was voted the best at his position. I guess the rest of the league, by your standards, are below mediocre.
Sherman in particular is absolutely punk trash all of the time. No doubt in my mind.
This is evidence that he's doing a great job of getting his brand known. Sherman is much more of a choir boy than people think. If you pay attention to him from week to week you'll see he does nothing but praise opponents that he respects (which is most players on other teams). He gives guys like White a bad time because he perceives him to be punk. Sherman wants nothing to do with the "thug" culture. If he perceives a player to be a punk he lets it be known that he has no respect for that particular player.
If either of you have a problem with the post I made just say so. No need to be coy. Do I think that the thread was started with idiotic purposes? You bet, but that doesn't mean we can't attempt to turn into a worthwhile conversation.
He perceives Tom Brady as a punk? He trashed talk the s*#t outta him and even posted some pic on his twitter of him yelling at Brady (which someone infinitely smarter than him advised that he remove - and he did - I'm sure you can still find it on the web).Hooper31 said:
You're correct. Punk is the wrong word. I doubt he perceives Brady in that light. However, he certainly doesn't respect Brady as a person. Does that fit better? Also, he didn't trash talk the #### of Brady. He responded to Brady after they had a confrontation at halftime. Brady told him they were going to talk after the game and NE had won. Well, Brady lost and chose to walk away. Sherman responded in a rather loud fashion.
If we created a new thread that was simply "Richard Sherman" I wouldn't mind it. What I don't want is the constant reminder of this idiotic thread ITS started. It doesn't make sense and everytime people see it they feel the distinct need to come in and start thrashing around. This is purely a PR move so we can wash off the stink of our less than humble fanbase.

I have no problem with it...just pointing out to him as he was bashing people for bumping this back up...that it was a Hawks fan who did the bumping.
When has Sherman ever showed the littlest, eensiest bit of thug?sho nuff said:
Thats Lockdown.
He is too smart for that. Give that NFL turning point a watch though....it will give you insight into his thought process.
Exactly Sherman can't shutdown any WR unless the offense allows it. That's part of the reason when Peterson and other elite CBs call him out they can get away with it.Run It Up said:

That's his way of trying to get the public to demand discipline before the super bowl. If he was a real man he'd just ignore the subject instead of complaining to the media. His voice and all the words out of his mouth are just incredibly annoying. It's too bad because if he'd just shut up, be humble about his skills, and quit crying about other things then he'd be one of the best and most well respected players in the league. Instead he acts like a tool and makes his fans think they can act like tools too.GoBirds said:
They asked him a question, he answered. Didn't hear crying more of just taking a jab at Goodell. Said deflating balls doesn't matter in earlier interviews when asked.
He said the league won't handle the situation because they're too busy handling Marshawn. He could have said something about how he hopes that the league will handle it before the super bowl, but they are going to prep for them regardless. Marshawn has nothing to do with it so the only point of him bringing it up is because he's trying to be a d-bag. He's a smart guy, he knows that the handling of the Patriots and the handling of Marshawn have nothing at all to do with each other. Everything he says is either bragging about himself, talking down someone else, or complaining. No, I don't want him to give the generic answers that coaches and QB's give, but he can answer questions without being a d-bag and making everything personal.
Or he's bringing it up because Marshawn's media relations, cleats, and TD celebrations have zero impact on the game played and the accusations being thrown at the Patriots have an impact, but the only urgency shown by the NFL to get this resolved ahead of the SB is in rectifying the trivial issues with Marshawn.
I don't think there's a lack of urgency. I think it's a complicated issue and considering the fact that they haven't even interviewed Brady yet shows that there's a lot of politics regarding the players union with this. Marshawn using illegal equipment or refusing to talk to the media is an easy situation to deal with. Maybe it takes an hour out of somebody's day to check the rule and his history and decide on the fine? There is a lot of red tape regarding the Patriots investigation and if they cross any boundaries that they shouldn't then the entire case will get thrown out. They have to be careful and diligent with the investigation. Everybody in the Pats organization acting like they have no clue about anything doesn't speed anything up either.
