DO you all see how s**t Sherman is if he doesn't get his hands on the receiver and grab a fist full of jersey? These plays show exactly that and why he was a 5th round pick. The dude is only so good because he mugs guys every play, takes roids, and has Earl Thomas up top helping him out. He does not have good movement skills, not fluid in the hips, and isn't quick. These are necessary attributes to be a good corner. Again he is good largely because he cheats. Patrick Peterson is absolutely correct when he said that Sherman has no feet, no hips, and simply doesn't cover well man to man. The dude is so overrated it's not even funny. Anyone can be good if you let them hold every play and take roids..
He's one of the best cbs in the game and it doesn't matter why. Don't be like Seattle fans and give credit where credit is due.
Oh gosh. Get out of here with that make it stop s**t. If you actually read the post and understood the cornerback position, you would realize I'm right on the money. The guy has smarts, does his homework, and has good ball skills. I absolutely give him that. As a natural corner though, he doesn't have great ability. Sherman plays high up, has poor change of direction skills, and not very fluid in the hips. His game depends on holding and receiving help over the top. Earl Thomas on the other hand, now that guy is a true stud.
Yup. PP wasn't saying that she isn't good, it's just that she isn't a "shutdown" CB--can't count on her to (consistently) hang 1 on 1 with top notch receivers like himself, Haden or Revis Island could.
If Crabs wasn't coming off that injury (returning too soon), she wouldn't have been able to cover Crabs the way she did... not even if you gave her a blanket. IMO, she would make a better safety (damn good one) than CB.
