Should Sherm stay or should Sherm go now? If he stays there will be trouble, if he goes it will be double.
Anyhow, I thought we had made this decision, but with the COVID season being what it is, a seemingly strange time when front offices are leery of throwing big money contracts around due to the staggering drop of the salary cap, we were at least able to keep our backfield relatively intact. Minus Ahkello Witherspoon. Who, is his own conundrum of spectacular pay followed by begging out with the smallest of injuries and getting toasted.
Richard Sherman is a different matter entirely however. he is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, and still plays pretty well, sort of. That is, when he was on the field. In his 3 seasons here, he’s missed 15 games. Mostly last year with 11 games missed due to his calf strain. I don’t think he’ll be getting stronger as his years pile up, but 33 is getting long in the tooth for a CB.
I would LOVE to see him switch to SS a la Ronnie Lott. I think he’s a perfect fit at safety. Sure he would take a pay cut. I just don’t see him as an elite cover guy anymore. Press man is not his style anymore, and he was toasted on deep routes. His knowledge is invaluable, and his positioning of himself and the other DBs is impeccable, but unless he wants to take a healthy pay cut and switch positions, I don’t think we need him as bad as he needs us. He isn’t gonna get the big deal he wants, so it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
And I don’t see Seattle bringing him back into the fold either.
Nice lead on song to your story Chuck!
One of my favorite bands.
I think he’s still a serviceable CB he’s definitely lost a step but he also sees things before they happen. I think he would be invaluable to the new guys if for no other reason that his smarts and attitude.
You morons should be stoked! Richard Sherman is going to have a career year with this epic Seahawks…uh, I mean, 49ers D! Time to shart in our diapers!
i bet mom is so proud.
Speaking of proud moms, the fucking Jags signed Tim Tebow as a TE.
What a fucking joke. Funny how the league bends over for him.
Too late for WR Rae Carruth to make a comeback? He’s out of prison now after killing his pregnant GF..
There’s always Aaron Hernandez. Oh, yeah. . .
The NFL news is so boring right now that they are issuing the schedule out in increments. What a bunch of bullshit.
