Sherman also the best CB in the league against the run

[tweet]https://twitter.com/PFF/status/615190497657815040[/tweet]

Sherman said he worked hard last off-season to improve his tackling. Last year's run defense went on to be the best in franchise history, allowing just 81.5 yards per game and 3.4 yards per rushing attempt. After Wagner and Mebane went down, the defense looked like it would continue to struggle. However, they managed to regroup and formed a total commitment to stopping the run. In addition to Sherman, Thomas was another member of the secondary who stepped up his play against the run, lazar-targeting ball carriers. Before and after his injury, Wagner was the league's best ILB against the run. Next year's run defense has a chance to be even better with the return of Mebane, who is reportedly in the best shape of his career, and the addition of Clark, who was one of college football's best run stoppers.

Yes, we're fine on defense but that wasn't ever an issue. It's all about has Wilson added to his game...he better have given how the contract negotiation is playing out.

Cool! I remember him talking about working in the off season to improve run defense. Glad it worked!

You complain about Russell Wilson contract threads yet bring this up in a topic about Richard Sherman's run defense?

:lol:

Pretty easy when you only have to defend the run on one side of the field

Wonder how much longer until some of you start eating our own. Kick back, have a few beers and pray training camp gets here with no forum casualties.

This is why Sherm is the best CB in the league. It also shows how intelligent he really his: he works hard to be well rounded. As much as he mentions interceptions, he works on his tackling and run defense.

An another note, I honestly think we're going to end up regretting not resigning Kevin Williams. I don't think our young depth is ready yet.

They made a conscious choice to sign Rubin (for a little more) instead of Williams. It doesn't make sense to me, but at the end of the day, you just have to trust the decision. Hill is another guy whom you have to expect big things from this season. And Carroll was really impressed with Dobbs as well.

Love that guy... Wish he was a Packer.....

I think the Defense this year will be outstanding again. Just think of the Jimmy Graham can a couple more first downs a game what effect it will have on a defense that can really pin its ears back and come charging.

SB 50 here we come Let be written... let it be done.

Technically a swing pass, not a run, but I'll allow it. Because you're right, pretty much a perfect open field tackle.

What?, there's a problem with Wilson not willing to play on the defense too?

Sherman is very good at CB and fast a defense. I saw him was too fast than RB or WR? Possible could be! If we can put him can play at WR and CB if he can play both? Why not?
