Tariq Woolen, our 4.26sec CB

[BASF]

I am curious about those of you talking about Sherman coaching up the young guys are aware that he is also helping the 49ers DBs as well?

I am not aware of that, but still glad that he is helping out Tariq.

Rich Sherman is first & foremost a student of the game, he played for BOTH the Seahawks & the 9rs, so there is that.
Sherman also recognizes talent when he sees it, so I can easily see why he would want to still be around the Relevancy of the game.
He's passionate about his knowledge of the position, and would love to be recognized for his cerebral input to the young guns out there trying to be all they can be in the game.
The fact that he recognizes star Possibilities in Tariq Woolen is kind of an uptick kick for me.

Let's be honest, Sherman was Sherman because of his football IQ and being a film junky. I doubt we see another player that puts those two things together as well as Sherman did. I like what I have seen from Woolen, but it is a bit of a stretch to equate the two past physical traits.

I think a LOT depends on how well Wollen can absorb the intricacies from Sherman on the position, I mean, he obviously has all the physical attributes to be one of the best.
I do know how important Recognition / repetition is to any position, and how Coaching tips come into play at game speed for SOME of these gifted athletes.
I think that's why Pete hung onto Flowers way past his pull date...He saw a guy with all the physical tools, but, you can only Coach just so much into a player, eh?
Just hoping Woolen is that exceptional guy to 'Get It' and become a Richard Sherman clone.

In case anyone hasn't yet noticed Woolen has changed his number to 27.

What truly make Sherm the best was his unparalleled ability to play the ball while in the air. He was 2nd to none in that regard.

Something tells me Sherm could have been a great wide receiver too. He played the ball better than most receivers in the air. Sometimes he looked more like the receiver than the person he was guarding. His hands were also solid.

Freaky fast

Sherm was originally a wr in college before he switched to CB. He hated the fact that the WR relied on the QB deciding when to throw the ball to him.

This guy really talking Tariq up, and I agree with him.

It's pretty impressive how quickly this kid is picking things up. If he makes a rookie mistake, which is expected from time to time, he bounces right back.

Indeed, I was quite impressed with his ability to brush aside failures, and move on.

INT #2, this time a pick 6.

Woolen is coming along nicely, keep up the good work young man!!!! We have a lockdown CB in the making.

 

[Spin Doctor]

definitely the bright spot on defense this year.

Yeah, this kid really seem's to have it. Pretty exciting to draft a corner with this kind of early production, while oozing with potential.
Anytime Tariq defends a pass to end a drive or makes an interception I think the code phrase should be; "Died in the Woolen".

That's serious speed, but he is not just straight line speed either, dude has some quickness to him. Looked like he is one of thy good lord's unique creations.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

I just watched this video, figured I'd share it. Tariq is looking really good when you dissect the film and this is literally his 1st year. It's insane how well he's picking things up and his speed, HIS SPEED!!! I'm so glad they drafted him!

 

[toffee]

FOUR ints!!! 4 INTs in 4 games, pretty soon OCs have to account for Tariq, couple more INTs, his side of the field will be quiet on game time.

LOCKDOWN CB here we come.

 

[White Devil]

I wanna have Tariq's baby!

He might be open to that, just tweet and see what he says?
