Saying Richard Sherman isn't good because he played in a zone style of defense which isn't as difficult as a man coverage style of defense is kind of like saying that Joe Montana and Jerry Rice aren't good because they played in a west coast style of offense that yields higher competition percentages and higher offensive production. While it certainly could be argued that different styles of offense and defense are easier to play and yeild better stats than others, claiming that a player's greatness is lessened only for the style in which they play isn't sensible. Ultimately, the coaches decide upon the game plans and the styles of play, but the players are the ones who either execute or fail to execute them. There been plenty of receivers and quarterbacks to play in a west coast style of offense, but few did it as well as Joe Montana and Jerry Rice which is why they're both great Hall of Fame players. Similarly, many conerbacks have played in zone styles of defense, ie cover 2, cover 3, and tampa 2. But few have played in those styles of defense as well as Richard Sherman which is why he's great and deserves to be considered for the Hall of Fame as well.
What ppl fell to realize is, playing zone is almost just as hard as playing man. None of these ppl has never even played the position to even have a judgment on it.. just playing the position is the hardest to play.. ive played corner in high school and college and richard sherman is a great cb..
I mean Sherman can’t play in the man scheme he’s just not a good man corner. Even before the injury he was never a good man corner has bad hip speed but great foot speed his whole career.
U know Sherman played man plenty of times in Seattle it’s just after his injury he doing more cover 3 which is smart to do lol why complain if he does what his team ask him to do
Tre'Vaun Perry I’m personally not complaining I still think he’s a great corner and is good at what he does especially since he was in college as a receiver in safety. But man has never been his strong suit and that’s fine it’s like moving Julian Eldeman out wide it’s not his strong suit he does it but obviously better playing in the slot.

@@elijahjacob872 Stephen Gilmore doesnt shut down wide receivers and still gets safety help. You arent shutting a receiver down by ypurself when you have a safety covering the deep part of your side of the field fairly regularly. Gilmore is a gambler that knows when to gamble based on playcall, situation and his opponent. Gilmore got burned a couple times in week 16 because his safety help wasnt where it should have been. That's not a shutdown corner. You dont get to be a shutdown corner if you rely on the safty covering your side of the field to cover any deep routes. Shutdown corners covered all the routes back in the day. As far as Peterson, I didnt really watch him because Gilmore was supposedly the best corner in 2019. Hard for me to assume another guy is a shutdown corner and not the consensus #1 best corner or right behind another shutdown corner who is the #1 best. Shut down corners are not just corners that are very good in man. They basically one on one shut down the other team's best receiver. That basically doesn't happen in today's NFL. It is always scheme that takes away the best receiver, not just this one corner.
Sherman's best game he ever played imo was against Antonio Brown in the 2015 season. He followed him all game. His worst game was against Julio Jones in 2016.
Actually I would say his worst game was against T.Y Hilton. People want to pretend like Sherman play every down with a safety sitting on top of him. They want to act like other cornerback are not playing with safeties
Is Stephen Curry a horrible player who's not that great of a dunker or a great defender? Sherman can ball and he's about to get another ring because he's a great player on a TEAM that wins...just like Curry.
I never understood people complaining that someone is a "zone" corner. Does it really matter if you shut a guy down in man coverage vs shutting down a zone? I don't think so. If you are tough enough that teams throw away from you, I call that a shutdown corner.
It doesn't matter Theodore because you just play zone to that side. Deon Sanders sucked at zone defense. So they always had him playing man. You play players to your players strengths. If you have a coach that plays man with Sherman and zone with Deon, then your coach isn't doing the job.
Well what needs to be said also is that Sherman plays for great D line teams so when covering bye does not have to cover long because plays are rarely extended. So it more or less the D around him that makes him good as opposed to his own plat style.
The people that hate on Sherman fail to realize that yes, he probably could play in a man coverage scheme. The problem is, in a man coverage scheme he'd likely only be above average, but in a zone scheme, we're looking at a hall of famer. trying to knock sherm for that is like trying to tell Ray Lewis that he wasn't a good LB because he was only an above average pass coverage guy at best, when obviously anyone with half a brain stem knows that Ray was so amazing at run stuffing and pass rushing that he could still be as great as he was even if he was "only" above average in coverage.
Whoa whoa whoa let's stop the lies and make this clear alot of ppl give Richard Sherman props as the best zone corner in the league. Problem is hes the one that gets pissed when he hears that. Everyone knows traveling man to man is harder than zone. The man uses his eyes technique size and his knowledge from his WR days and it shows in his work. BUT you cant get pissed when ppl label you the best in an area based off of the product you put out and that's Sherms problem
This doesnt mean Sherman isn't good, but what it does mean is that he cant ever be considered among the all time greats. If you don't do the hardest thing and other people can, then they're better than you, its that simple. If you don't always guard the best, then you cant be called the best
Sherman is a great example of gamesmanship. He follows the flow of the field and keeps himself in position to execute. If your entire secondary could operate on his mental level you would be practically unbeatable.
I agree Revis was better cover cornerback..I now understand cover 3 so Richard saying he leads the league in all important stats since his rookie year now means nothing when you go against Rivas. Rivas was not the best I ever seen But was definitely one of the best and I loved his physicality, when it comes to Sharm is different because if you're not worried about over the top help or underneath help you can just do you so it is really different

The real question I have is why was this video made the way it was? No one really disputes his abilities in zone. What he's being called out on is his man coverage skills so was this video breaking down his zone play instead of his man play? Because of this we don't even know the answer to the question in the title of the video.
Revis is wrong on all accounts!! He was a top-notch shut down corner but, the fact of the matter is, no team picked him up in the latter stage of his career!!!! Sherman plays within his systems; Just as a good, coachable player is supposed to do!!!! Revis is definitely bitter!!!!!!!
Inevitable Expertise I meant after he was signed by the Chiefs in a last-minute, desperate attempt for a post season run and beyond!! He hasn't been seen since because NO TEAM WANTED HIM!!!!
The problem is that he says he's the best corner and gloats at being the best corner but gets exposed on man coverage or switching and following the best receiver
Are there corners who excel in man coverage but struggle in zone? It seems to me that they may require somewhat different skills but maybe it’s the case that every good man corner can thrive in a zone scheme
Why do people act like sherman is the only cb that played with safeties? Everytime Sherman was called to stick to a reciever the whole game, he shut them down. Revis is not better than Sherman. Revis got his rep because the season where he shutdown T.O, Moss, Steve Smith, and Chad. People also forget that all four players were playing with crappy qb's. People need to watch with their own eyes instead of repeating what they heard on tv
Revis might be right about what Sherman is comfortable doing but chiming in over 5 years since the last spat reeks of jealousy and pettiness. Plus, Sherman is doing what he is being asked to do. He might be less comfortable traveling But so what? He isn’t being asked to do more
This is what I got to say when is trying to break his game down this man is making millions of dollars and enjoy his life and u trying to a sports analyst
Yeah but his football IQ alone is worth keeping him to develop new players on the Seahawks. Since he left Pete hasn't been able to develop a decent secondary. These scrubs they have can't tackle to save their lives.

@@madisonlitteral7069 Tyreek is the Chiefs X receiver, which means he's their number 1. And with his speed, you can line him up anywhere. Adam Humphries, Cole Beasley, and Edelman are slot receivers.....
I wonder if Zimmer let Xavier Rhodes play a lot of cover 3 and less man if he could have a decent end of career. I still hope Vikes get rid of him but worth a thought. Sköl 😈
You should make a video of all the times Sherman got beat in Seattle and Earl or Kam saved his ass. I'm a life long Seahawks fan. Sherman jumped a lot of routes which got him more interceptions in the stat book. But he also got burned because of that, and he had one of the best Safety combo's ever backing him up and they saved him plenty of times. He's great, but it's just a fact that moving all over the field always covering the best receiver is a much harder job. Sherman always had the sideline to his left, and could practice pressing receivers to that one side every day. Then he got to play for a defense that used the same strategy and keep his same side. If he'd gone to a team and was asked to move around the field, he'd be screwed right now.
Funny thing is, I was playing Madden Franchise with the Packers this morning and had to go up against the 49ers and I remember the heated debate between Revis and Sherman! Everytime CPU had Sherman pressed up on Adam's, I would put him in a stretch and Adam's would dust his ass! Lmao everytime!
I do believe that he is better in cover 3 obviously but he’s great there, he gets other own to so little because QBs kinda fear him, and when he is thrown to he plays very lockdown
Being a zone defender/helpside defender is more important in football than a sport like basketball. Draymond isnt more valuable defensively than Kawhi defensively cause Draymond is not a great onball defender & being a onball defender is more important in basketball cause 1 superstar can dominant a whole game in basketball & a Kawhi has da ability to take the best opposing player out of the gameplan & hurt their chances of being effective in the game. Basketball is a superstar driven league & 1 player in basketball can affect the whole game & team unlike football. In football, its more team oriented & 1 player cant dominate da same way compared to basketball. Derrelle Revis can be a shutdown corner covering the opposing team's best reciever but a quarterback isnt dependant on passing to 1 reciever, he can pass to anyone else on the field. Also if the reciever is able to create seperation from Revis, Revis leaves his safety who is suppose to help on the backend of the defense vulnerable to getting beat as well because by the time the reciever gets dat seperation da safety is already too far out & dats a touchdown waiting to happen. Also if the corners is just covering a deep threat, the corner isnt accounting for the runnerback, the tight end, the fullback & a slot reciever like an Eldeman or Wes Walker going in the middle. In football, everyone has to be on the same page. When I watch Sherman on the TV he has more cerebrallness than a Revis, hes constantly helping the backend of the defense & even the frontend of the defense & is constantly communicating to his teammates where to be. I feel wat Sherman brings to the table is more valuable than wat Revis brings cause football is a team sport & 1 reciever cant kill your team, its more valuable in my opinion for your corner to cover ground everywhere compared to being a shutdown corner on 1 side of the field
You also didn’t point out in the second clip you explained. That he lines up in a man look. So the QB read man. He even played it like man the fist couple seconds. He backed out and turn to the man. If he was playing man the whole play he would get the option to turn another time to look at the QB.
Earl Thomas went out with an injury and Chancellor retired and Sherman was basically the only remaining good defender there aside from Wagner and Wright and he STILL played good and even played man as well. Nice try
@@UndeadItachi2 ya he played so good Seattle showed him the door. And you're forgetting KJ Wright, Michael Bennett, and Irvin, as well as Jarron Reed all good players.
It doesnt matter what Seattle did he still played well with nobodies at secondary. The players you mentioned arent part of the secondary and the team was already playing bad defense at this point. And I named Wright. I'm saying this because his teams defense wasnt that good when they let him go.
@@UndeadItachi2 ya they sucked when all them dudes left further cementing that Sherman isn't as good as advertised and the D was good because of Thomas and them.
Lol every cb gets help that’s why it’s 10 other players on a field. The biggest difference between the two is Revis didn’t want to take care of his body. He made his money and the pats paid to send his ass home and didn’t want him on the team. No one else picked him up and his pride is hurt.
At the end of the day what’s the debate about? Revis excelled within the defense schemes of the Jets & Patriots and was able to take a teams best receiver out the game due to his skill set and ability to defend at a high level. Sherman is able to defend at a high level within the defense schemes of the niners & Seahawks what’s unique with Sherman by being a former receiver in college he has the ability to look back at the quarterback and defend against the route a receiver is trying to run with safety help or without. Sherman has a high football iq and can decipher where a qb wants to throw the ball before the qb actually throws the football. Both are great defenders it just a matter of preference as it pertains to playing within a preferred defensive scheme.
Carlo Demarco ding ding that’s what I’ve been telling people. One follows a WR majority of the time and the other defends a 3rd of the field, they both excel at what they do best for the team.
If you have seen the 49ers one on one with the wr’s you would see why they keep Rich in zone. He is very slow. If you gonna pay him $$$ then put him where he excels, not his weakness. Also , after Rich got his big contract in Seattle, they made him travel. He didn’t look good at all. That is why after he got hurt , they let him go. Seattle couldn’t pay him 60 mil to cover the 3rd string full back on a 5 yard out !!!
The Titans were ranked 24th in pass defense. The 49ers are ranked #1. The 49ers can run like the Titans but with a much better defense and better passing game. I think the Chiefs are a lot like the Packers with a couple of faster guys but you'll get the same result. It's going to be like 49ers vs Dolphins or 49ers vs Broncos Super Bowl blowouts. The big young hyped QB gets shutdown in the Super Bowl part III.
Who cares if he is, he a great player that has been a key member in one of the best defenses this generation has seen - maybe 2 if the niners win next week.
Lets get something straight. Cover 1 and cover 3 is the same thing. Its like giving the cornerback an option just like when receivers have options in the routes on a certain play. Its totally reactive to the offense. Now seattle did not play cover because sherman was better at it. They played it because kam chancellor couldnt cover so they would drop him down in the box. Which is why he always had so many big hits. Earl thomas was an iffy safety and sometimes blew coverage to good tight ends like greg olsen. Why? Because im cover 3 if your safety doesnt take the deep seam route it will always be open. Thats an affective way to beat cover 3 and cover 1. Revis had 1 good season, ever, 2009. That jets defense ranks high among historic defenses and thats because of the front 7. Revis island didnt move to tampa lol. Sherman is probably the best all around cb to play. Deion couldnt tackle, Chuck was a liability at covering and revis was nothing without a front 7. But honestly i my top 2 cb ever are Sherman and Darrell Green.
Exactly and if he isn't elite or if he is as trash as they are trying to make him seem why is it QBs STAY AWAY FROM whatever side he is on lol. If he's trash target him 🤷🏿♂️
Richard Sherman???? Lmao u ever seen Charles Woodson? Champ baily? Ty law? Or Troy Vincent? Not to mention the goat Deon sanders? Richard Sherman is like a bass guitarist to the guys I mentioned whom are lead guitarist any of the dudes I mentioned not only could man cover bro they could run a fuckin cover 3 zone Richard Sherman cannot bro simply seen it cannot man up lacks the speed he is not elite he had a great defense and set in fuckin zone tell u someone else who got a huge ass payday whom was just a pure a pure cover 3 zone corner alteran vernor played for the titans titans let him walk the bucs payed him bank put him in a man scheme he sucked out of the nfl.
Sherm is doing, what his coach calls for him to do. If that's man coverage, that's what he does. If it's zone, that's what he does. Revis could shut down one man. Richard Sherman, shuts down an entire side of the field. He's also playing for a Super Bowl title. 💁♂️
At the end of the day Sherman is not Revis... Let's just keep it 💯.. If you always has help, a security blanket your gonna be able to be more aggressive and look way better than you are... Nnamdi regarded as the best corner in NFL according to recs and yards giving up.. And then he went to Philly and got exposed... Cromartie in zone was damn near best corner but in man to man he was gonna stop Wes Welker in slot or Chad Johnson over the middle
Revis didn't have the same defense with New York as Sherman did with Seattle and San Fran. Sherman made the Pro Bowl with 2 teams, well Revis made it with 3. Also, shut up about Sherman's ACL, he had that in like week 10 of the 2017 season.
To say he never is a lie. to say he doesn’t constantly would be more correct. Because for you to say he’s never traveled would mean the 49ers and Seahawks have never played man to man coverage. Which would be false. Against the Vikings that was man to man when he got a pick. Just because it’s not often doesn’t mean it doesn’t occur. He’s not a great man cb. Now sherm is a great coverage cb. Which is why the dc is a genius to use him that way. At the end of the day every one has strengths and weaknesses. Not every cb that plays has to travel , and to me my personal opinion. I think in today’s game Oc and Hc are smart enough to abuse cbs who travel. With constant motions like for example the niners do. Also if they are playing a zone that means there’s a soft spot in the zone usually that Cb would be in. ( again my opinion )
You do the best that you can with what you have. Richard Sherman is a beast and if you don't use him at his strengths you're a fool

The real question I have is why was this video made the way it was? No one really disputes his abilities in zone. What he's being called out on is his man coverage skills so was this video breaking down his zone play instead of his man play? Because of this we don't even know the answer to the question in the title of the video.
Prime, Rod Woodson, Charles Woodson, Revis and Champ. Top 5.
Prime Rod Woodson Revis,Sherman, Charles Woodson
Champ bailey always get burnt
@@thechosenone427 ya maybe at the end of his career.
Don't forget Aeneas Williams
Revis is wrong on all accounts!! He was a top-notch shut down corner but, the fact of the matter is, no team picked him up in the latter stage of his career!!!! Sherman plays within his systems; Just as a good, coachable player is supposed to do!!!! Revis is definitely bitter!!!!!!!
So Revis didn't go from The Jets to the Pats ?
Inevitable Expertise I meant after he was signed by the Chiefs in a last-minute, desperate attempt for a post season run and beyond!! He hasn't been seen since because NO TEAM WANTED HIM!!!!
@@renguerrero7218 of course they didn't, he was old at that point. You don't want aging Corners.....
The pass rush gets to pressure so quickly that it enables Richard Sherman to be aggressive and use his instincts to make plays.
Darren Lobban is that a bad thing? Better check that tape from 2015 against Antonio Brown
Bill Tuigamala no complaints here, bruv. I hope to one day be a defensive coordinator for someone’s football team. I’m actually a huge fan.
Darren Lobban that’s awesome, well hopefully you play to your players strengths or schemes help the team overall. Good luck 🤙🏽
The problem is that he says he's the best corner and gloats at being the best corner but gets exposed on man coverage or switching and following the best receiver
It doesn't matter, just do your job.
Nice that you posted this since the Revis, Sherman Twitter fued.
Should have did this year on Revis
Question “ Did you ever play football or coach ??? What are your credentials to knowing gameplans? Curious before I subscribe? Thanks
Are there corners who excel in man coverage but struggle in zone? It seems to me that they may require somewhat different skills but maybe it’s the case that every good man corner can thrive in a zone scheme
Nnamdi Asomugha is the only one that comes to mind for me.
So hyped he's coming to Tampa
Why do people act like sherman is the only cb that played with safeties? Everytime Sherman was called to stick to a reciever the whole game, he shut them down. Revis is not better than Sherman. Revis got his rep because the season where he shutdown T.O, Moss, Steve Smith, and Chad. People also forget that all four players were playing with crappy qb's. People need to watch with their own eyes instead of repeating what they heard on tv
Sherman isn't a HOF Corner honestly, he has absolutely no man to man cover skills.
Revis might be right about what Sherman is comfortable doing but chiming in over 5 years since the last spat reeks of jealousy and pettiness.
Plus, Sherman is doing what he is being asked to do. He might be less comfortable traveling But so what? He isn’t being asked to do more
I don’t think it matters he’s doing what the coach asking him to do
This is what I got to say when is trying to break his game down this man is making millions of dollars and enjoy his life and u trying to a sports analyst
Dude sounds like Lester Crest from GTA V 😂😂😂
Seahawks fans like damn why we give up on sherm lol
Torn Achilles is hard to come back from
Yeah but his football IQ alone is worth keeping him to develop new players on the Seahawks. Since he left Pete hasn't been able to develop a decent secondary. These scrubs they have can't tackle to save their lives.
mED exactly and sherm literally develops the niner dbs they didn’t change any of the they kept them all from last year and now look what happened hard work and his greatness teaches the team
@@marco6958 yeah as someone who roots for the Seahawks this is one of the biggest mistakes since the superbowl that Carroll has made. It looks to me he is getting big headed.
He was slow

Better hope he don't have to cover Tyreek
@@inevitableexpertise1016 Tyreek is a slot receiver
@@madisonlitteral7069 Tyreek is the Chiefs X receiver, which means he's their number 1. And with his speed, you can line him up anywhere. Adam Humphries, Cole Beasley, and Edelman are slot receivers.....
I'd like to see u make a video about Revis shutting guys down as well
I wonder if Zimmer let Xavier Rhodes play a lot of cover 3 and less man if he could have a decent end of career. I still hope Vikes get rid of him but worth a thought. Sköl 😈
Probably be better he has the same size
Hey Revis, he's in the NFL.
You know Revis is older than Sherman right ?
You should make a video of all the times Sherman got beat in Seattle and Earl or Kam saved his ass. I'm a life long Seahawks fan. Sherman jumped a lot of routes which got him more interceptions in the stat book. But he also got burned because of that, and he had one of the best Safety combo's ever backing him up and they saved him plenty of times. He's great, but it's just a fact that moving all over the field always covering the best receiver is a much harder job. Sherman always had the sideline to his left, and could practice pressing receivers to that one side every day. Then he got to play for a defense that used the same strategy and keep his same side. If he'd gone to a team and was asked to move around the field, he'd be screwed right now.
Funny thing is, I was playing Madden Franchise with the Packers this morning and had to go up against the 49ers and I remember the heated debate between Revis and Sherman! Everytime CPU had Sherman pressed up on Adam's, I would put him in a stretch and Adam's would dust his ass! Lmao everytime!
He either makes plays or he dosent...sherman makes plays period...
He is only a zone corner everyone knew that long ago !!
What's going on with your audio Jackson?
Revis was better, but is Sherman is good for a longer time.
Robert M lies Sherman never had a revis year
A lister Elite yes he did lol a couple actually , the years they went to the super bowl Sherman played out of his mind
The Seahawks are in cover 2 in the first play against the Cardinals, not cover 3.
You guys are a trip! JUST PLAY FOOTBALL!
So if all he is a cover 3 CB and teams know that then why not throw to his side a route to beat cover 3? Oh you can’t
I do believe that he is better in cover 3 obviously but he’s great there, he gets other own to so little because QBs kinda fear him, and when he is thrown to he plays very lockdown
Sherman is excellent against the run and he will set the edge.
Being a zone defender/helpside defender is more important in football than a sport like basketball. Draymond isnt more valuable defensively than Kawhi defensively cause Draymond is not a great onball defender & being a onball defender is more important in basketball cause 1 superstar can dominant a whole game in basketball & a Kawhi has da ability to take the best opposing player out of the gameplan & hurt their chances of being effective in the game. Basketball is a superstar driven league & 1 player in basketball can affect the whole game & team unlike football. In football, its more team oriented & 1 player cant dominate da same way compared to basketball. Derrelle Revis can be a shutdown corner covering the opposing team's best reciever but a quarterback isnt dependant on passing to 1 reciever, he can pass to anyone else on the field.
Also if the reciever is able to create seperation from Revis, Revis leaves his safety who is suppose to help on the backend of the defense vulnerable to getting beat as well because by the time the reciever gets dat seperation da safety is already too far out & dats a touchdown waiting to happen. Also if the corners is just covering a deep threat, the corner isnt accounting for the runnerback, the tight end, the fullback & a slot reciever like an Eldeman or Wes Walker going in the middle. In football, everyone has to be on the same page. When I watch Sherman on the TV he has more cerebrallness than a Revis, hes constantly helping the backend of the defense & even the frontend of the defense & is constantly communicating to his teammates where to be. I feel wat Sherman brings to the table is more valuable than wat Revis brings cause football is a team sport & 1 reciever cant kill your team, its more valuable in my opinion for your corner to cover ground everywhere compared to being a shutdown corner on 1 side of the field
Cornerbacks don't look back for the ball enough to me they just b following the receivers around the field
You also didn’t point out in the second clip you explained. That he lines up in a man look. So the QB read man. He even played it like man the fist couple seconds. He backed out and turn to the man. If he was playing man the whole play he would get the option to turn another time to look at the QB.
No matter if he is a cover 3 corner or man coverage corner he is still the best
Sherman is a really good CB. Case closed.
Sherman is a solid CB that has benefitted from being on teams with great talent that can mask his weaknesses......
Earl Thomas went out with an injury and Chancellor retired and Sherman was basically the only remaining good defender there aside from Wagner and Wright and he STILL played good and even played man as well. Nice try
@@UndeadItachi2 ya he played so good Seattle showed him the door. And you're forgetting KJ Wright, Michael Bennett, and Irvin, as well as Jarron Reed all good players.
It doesnt matter what Seattle did he still played well with nobodies at secondary. The players you mentioned arent part of the secondary and the team was already playing bad defense at this point. And I named Wright. I'm saying this because his teams defense wasnt that good when they let him go.
@@UndeadItachi2 ya they sucked when all them dudes left further cementing that Sherman isn't as good as advertised and the D was good because of Thomas and them.
Lol every cb gets help that’s why it’s 10 other players on a field. The biggest difference between the two is Revis didn’t want to take care of his body. He made his money and the pats paid to send his ass home and didn’t want him on the team. No one else picked him up and his pride is hurt.
The first play you broke down the 49ers receiver ain’t even run that route u drew, it was the other receiver/TE
No, he was. Now hes a safety playing corner.
Watkins proved he was indeed limited.
Can’t be mad cause he want to be in cover 3
At the end of the day what’s the debate about? Revis excelled within the defense schemes of the Jets & Patriots and was able to take a teams best receiver out the game due to his skill set and ability to defend at a high level. Sherman is able to defend at a high level within the defense schemes of the niners & Seahawks what’s unique with Sherman by being a former receiver in college he has the ability to look back at the quarterback and defend against the route a receiver is trying to run with safety help or without. Sherman has a high football iq and can decipher where a qb wants to throw the ball before the qb actually throws the football. Both are great defenders it just a matter of preference as it pertains to playing within a preferred defensive scheme.
Carlo Demarco ding ding that’s what I’ve been telling people. One follows a WR majority of the time and the other defends a 3rd of the field, they both excel at what they do best for the team.
Sherman a beast because of his intelligence
If you have seen the 49ers one on one with the wr’s you would see why they keep Rich in zone. He is very slow. If you gonna pay him $$$ then put him where he excels, not his weakness. Also , after Rich got his big contract in Seattle, they made him travel. He didn’t look good at all. That is why after he got hurt , they let him go. Seattle couldn’t pay him 60 mil to cover the 3rd string full back on a 5 yard out !!!
Well he doing good in what the Coach ask and he succed and the Team Winning
LOB saved Richard Sherman. When you got Kam & Earl Thomas how the hell can you lose. Even that bum Browner was looking good in that defense.
I got a feeling Tyreke Hill going to have a big a$$ game in the Bowl.
The Titans were ranked 24th in pass defense. The 49ers are ranked #1. The 49ers can run like the Titans but with a much better defense and better passing game. I think the Chiefs are a lot like the Packers with a couple of faster guys but you'll get the same result. It's going to be like 49ers vs Dolphins or 49ers vs Broncos Super Bowl blowouts. The big young hyped QB gets shutdown in the Super Bowl part III.
The bottom line,the man is smart on and off the field,Stanford grad
Who cares if he is, he a great player that has been a key member in one of the best defenses this generation has seen - maybe 2 if the niners win next week.
Revis cant say the same
Lets get something straight. Cover 1 and cover 3 is the same thing. Its like giving the cornerback an option just like when receivers have options in the routes on a certain play. Its totally reactive to the offense. Now seattle did not play cover because sherman was better at it. They played it because kam chancellor couldnt cover so they would drop him down in the box. Which is why he always had so many big hits. Earl thomas was an iffy safety and sometimes blew coverage to good tight ends like greg olsen. Why? Because im cover 3 if your safety doesnt take the deep seam route it will always be open. Thats an affective way to beat cover 3 and cover 1. Revis had 1 good season, ever, 2009. That jets defense ranks high among historic defenses and thats because of the front 7. Revis island didnt move to tampa lol. Sherman is probably the best all around cb to play. Deion couldnt tackle, Chuck was a liability at covering and revis was nothing without a front 7. But honestly i my top 2 cb ever are Sherman and Darrell Green.
Love the video, but the audio is all over the place.
If Sherm isn't great why is everyone talking about him? Zone 1, zone 2, man to man, who cares, I watch the game for the love of it, Go 49ers!!!
Exactly and if he isn't elite or if he is as trash as they are trying to make him seem why is it QBs STAY AWAY FROM whatever side he is on lol. If he's trash target him 🤷🏿♂️
Still the best corner I've seen play in my life maybe pp21 or Revis island you can argue but Richard Shermen was shutting down in fashion
Richard Sherman???? Lmao u ever seen Charles Woodson? Champ baily? Ty law? Or Troy Vincent? Not to mention the goat Deon sanders? Richard Sherman is like a bass guitarist to the guys I mentioned whom are lead guitarist any of the dudes I mentioned not only could man cover bro they could run a fuckin cover 3 zone Richard Sherman cannot bro simply seen it cannot man up lacks the speed he is not elite he had a great defense and set in fuckin zone tell u someone else who got a huge ass payday whom was just a pure a pure cover 3 zone corner alteran vernor played for the titans titans let him walk the bucs payed him bank put him in a man scheme he sucked out of the nfl.
Xavien Howard's stats crush Sherman's
If the scheme is cover 3…you play cover 3
the coach calls the plays
He is good and paid to be a zone corner.
He isn't a man cover corner. If you want a man Cb please make a video on Chris Harris Junior
Sherm is doing, what his coach calls for him to do. If that's man coverage, that's what he does. If it's zone, that's what he does.
Revis could shut down one man. Richard Sherman, shuts down an entire side of the field. He's also playing for a Super Bowl title. 💁♂️
He’s a HOF doing that so it doesn’t matter
Dang the hate is real on uncle Sherm leave that man along and get yourself on his level SMH!!
Only thing he couldn’t do was play the slot which wasn’t that popular then
At the end of the day Sherman is not Revis... Let's just keep it 💯.. If you always has help, a security blanket your gonna be able to be more aggressive and look way better than you are... Nnamdi regarded as the best corner in NFL according to recs and yards giving up.. And then he went to Philly and got exposed... Cromartie in zone was damn near best corner but in man to man he was gonna stop Wes Welker in slot or Chad Johnson over the middle
Who gives a fuck if Sherman is a C3 corner. He's a C3 corner at it's finest. He does it best. Give him his credit.
Revis didn't have the same defense with New York as Sherman did with Seattle and San Fran. Sherman made the Pro Bowl with 2 teams, well Revis made it with 3. Also, shut up about Sherman's ACL, he had that in like week 10 of the 2017 season.
Well Sherman isnt that fast so you wouldn't put him in man like that he is what he is hes a zone corner for a reason
He’s a ZONE corner he can’t lock nobody up
Hota Dena th-cam.com/video/EmfZv_yxw5I/w-d-xo.html
you do what the coach tells you to do not what revis thinks you should do. it's a team game. somehow, revis forgot that important fact!
No highlights against the falcons? Julio Jones destroyed Richard Sherman and cooked there defense.
Basically what revis is saying is anyone can play cover 3 and be successful.... Well any decent corner back
Texas Born Texas Raised but yet no one else has yet to have a career like Sherman 🤷♂️
Twitt this vid to Revis lol!!
To say he never is a lie. to say he doesn’t constantly would be more correct. Because for you to say he’s never traveled would mean the 49ers and Seahawks have never played man to man coverage. Which would be false. Against the Vikings that was man to man when he got a pick. Just because it’s not often doesn’t mean it doesn’t occur. He’s not a great man cb. Now sherm is a great coverage cb. Which is why the dc is a genius to use him that way. At the end of the day every one has strengths and weaknesses. Not every cb that plays has to travel , and to me my personal opinion. I think in today’s game Oc and Hc are smart enough to abuse cbs who travel. With constant motions like for example the niners do. Also if they are playing a zone that means there’s a soft spot in the zone usually that Cb would be in. ( again my opinion )
