Defence of Sherman

   Star corner back Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks has been receiving major criticism for his performance last week vs the San Diego Chargers. Some say Sherman was "exposed" or "toasted" by the chargers star receiver Keenan Allen.However does Sherman really deserve this criticism. Simple the answer is no! The chargers were only able to complete 3 balls on Sherman. Any educated football enthusiast would know that is not a bad.

   Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had some things to say about all pro corner back Richard Sherman after catching only 5 balls for a grand total of only 55 yards. Allen was quoted saying "all week we said we were going to throw at him because hes not what hes hyped up to be." Also Allen said " hes just a normal guy", "we can go at him We took some shots at him. We are not going to shy away from him. He's not really a shutdown corner. We definitely wanted to come out and show we could go any way we wanted to and that we were in control of the game." these are some big words for some small stats! Honestly 5 catches for only 55 yards shouldn't call for such big words. Sherman is in fact the best shutdown corner in the league. If you don't believe that take a look at these stats and tell me one other corner that puts up these numbers in only there 4th year in the league. Sherman has 20 interceptions and 58 pass deflections in just 3 years. i know its a tough pill to swallow saying a 5th round draft pick is the best corner in the league but guess what its true!
