Flyfreak 84 Posted April 19, 2015 apparently all of the qb's, these numbers are focking nuts According to a study done by Football Perspective, Richard Sherman was the least targeted cornerback in the NFL last season. The ball was thrown in his direction 65 times on 552 passing plays, 25.5 fewer times than the average corner. This confirms Sherman is still the most feared corner in football. Even the eventual MVP Aaron Rodgers stayed clear of Sherman, avoiding him completely in a Week 1 loss. The Legion of Boom may have lost Byron Maxwell but as long as Sherman is around, the Seahawks should still have one of the league's most potent secondaries.

jdon 28 Posted April 19, 2015 I don't know... in the modern NFL you have enough weapons that you don't have to go at the defense's best skill player... These numbers are more a reflection of the make up of the entire seahawks defense in my opinion. jdon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted April 19, 2015 Of course you wouldn't WANT to throw it towards a teams best player. I wouldn't. However every player makes a mistake and Sherman himself can. Not many, but he will still make them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted April 20, 2015 So he only sees about 1.5 less attempts per game than the average corner? Its hard to really put that in perspective because it's not a stat I'm familiar with, but that seems underwhelming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petekrum 20 Posted April 20, 2015 Until he's willing to shadow the other teams best WR and not just play his side he'll never be the unquestioned man. Sorry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smileseers 54 Posted April 20, 2015 They way they play Sherman seems to work for thee team , why would they change that ? We will see this year how well Maxwell is replaced. If the corners on that side of the ball struggle to maintain the #1 WR of opposing offenses repeatedly then that would be a likely adjustment. Oh, and a female reporter did not seem too afraid of Sherman right after they won the Super Bowl. I wish he was afraid of his ego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and a female reporter did not seem too afraid of Sherman right after they won the Super Bowl. I wish he was afraid of his ego. Like I said seems to work the way they play him , I'm sure if they need to change it they will . They know the game and especially their own team . Ego is feed to these guys from a very young age , get them fired up . It does not just come from the players themselves, the teams they have been involved in since they where young started feeding their egos long before the NFL .

giraldi02 470 Posted April 25, 2015 I may be in the minority, but I think Chris Harris Jr. for the Broncos is just as good, if not better, than Richard Sherman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
