Richard Sherman talks about Cam Newton

[Hawk]

I've had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Richard Sherman last summer and I can say, he is a very intense young man.

 

sometimes I wish he'd back off on the mouth...but as long as he backs it on the field, I'm ok with it!!!

[Jackofalltrades]

Someone who graduated from Stanford should be smarter.

Don't worry, the same applies to Yale.

And Harvard...

Yeah I wish it was that simple. The Panthers sent three guys on vertical routes. That means we had 7 guys blocking. The Seahawks had a 3 man rush with two QB spies. Greg Olsen's linebacker might have not been a spy but effectively he was because Greg Olsen was blocking.

So it was 3 receivers vs 6 defensive backs. Cam thew to the guy in single coverage. Can't say I blame him.

I had the same impression live but recently saw a replay and Benjamin was wide open twenty yards downfield. It's a shame Cam didn't see him because he could have run for another 15 yards easy. Was right in front of Cam too - the only thing I can figure is Benjamin must have flashed open right after Cam decided to chuck it deep.

The other thing that surprised me is how little Cam got on the throw. It traveled a good distance but Philly stopped his route soon after the ball was in the air. I've got to think Cam was aiming further downfield and just didn't get the power he wanted. Maybe Cam's back flared up? It's obvious it was underthrown but on replay it looked like more than just a typical underthrow to me.

Watched this play plenty.

Actually I cant decide if it was underthrown or if Cam threw to a spot and Philly thought to keep going,...one of the two had it mixed up?

 

Benjamin is on the bottom and if you freeze the it appears benjamin slants in to the middle but has the safety back and linebacker under.  

 

Going back as soon as the ball as hiked, on the bottom you see Benjamins man play off and free release to the inside still off. That was the correct throw.  1st down, maybe get another 7-10 after catch.

 

We say that because of the outcome.  Obviously if Corey and Cam were on the same page maybe it was an fight short or a touchdown long.  It doesnt look like an underthrown ball. 

 

Cam steps into the throw after stepping up in the pocket, well planted. Not sure, only those 2 and the coaches know for sure.

That play was designed to go away from Sherman's side. But first-year receiver Brenton Bersin, the first read, slipped in his route.

Brenton Bersin, the first read

Sometimes we need to surprise our opponent ok?

IIRC, the Sherman interception was on a third and long, and really the end result was as good as a punt.

 

 

Not exactly a huge play in the game.

 

so now we need to start punting on 3rd down? It was not as good as a punt.

 

[CarolinaXblue]

Wait till Seattle can't afford all those DB's and Sherman is all alone back there. Another Revis in the making...better get his money while he can.

[JARROD]

Right, 

 

Russell will get like 130 million with around 70 million guaranteed, 25 million cap figure.

 

They are screwed.

[ThinkAboutIt]

And Harvard...

 

Yes, Obama's problem is not being "smart." He got where he is in life on the strength of his family name, just like Bush. 

[stankowalski]

To be fair, when is Sherman not self-serving?

 

Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny the dude thinks an awful lot of himself.

 

He should...he's the best cornerback in the league.

[Kevin Greene]

Richard Sherman is a Stanford Communications Major and plays the Press/Public like a drum.

 

His play on the field however speaks for itself.

[KendrickPanther]

I did a screen cap of the ALL 22 so we can all see it for ourselves. To provide context this cap was taken right as Cam winds up to throw deep. Kelvin just flashed in his first window but Cam could not make the throw because his feet were not set. He had a deep drop and had to side step a pass rusher. He saw Philly in man coverage and chose to make the throw. You can see Kelvin is about to hit a second window that comes wide open but we don't know what Cam had going through his head. He could be thinking "get rid of the ball before I get hit." So he makes his choice and it's not a bad one. The throw traveled 50 yards and came up about 5 yards short. Maybe that's all he had in him. Philly could have done him a solid and pushed Sherm out of bounds but he basically stood there and hoped Sherman missed the ball.

 

[pstall]

Tyler Klutts anyone? Some of you are under estimating the surprise factor.

[iamhubby1]

I'm shocked that the didn't mention how he was beat by the WR on his interception.

 

Shocked.

Been waiting 2 days for someone to mention this. Philly had a step and a half on Sherman. If Cam leads him, that could have been a TD.

But no...Sherman had that all the way. lol
