Seahawks’ Sherman pitches shutout against 49ers’ Smith

Thursday, the Seahawks' cornerback was instrumental in crushing the 49ers' soul once again.Smith did get away once: after the game, when he sped out of the locker room without waiting for the media.Four days after busting out with a 74-yard touchdown reception from Colin Kaepernick, Smith was shut out cold.Last time the Seahawks beat the 49ers at Levi's Stadium — last Thanksgiving night — Sherman celebrated by digging into a turkey leg on the 49ers' logo.Most memorably, Sherman marked his team's victory over the 49ers in the January 2014 NFC Championship Game by berating Michael Crabtree on national TV.Maybe after he and his pals coughed up four fourth-quarter leads in their four losses, like a cat struggling with hairballs, he's found some humility.The 49ers cut cornerback Wright two weeks ago, he was picked up by the Ravens, and Kaepernick torched him for two TDs on Sunday, including the long pass to Smith.Sherman and the Seahawks are now 6-1 against the 49ers in the Kaepernick Era, and if one person is most responsible for the decline of the quarterback and the team, it's Sherman.
