Sherman's 1st pick of the day

I think the opposing offenses should change the name of the play that Sherman got his first pick on to the "Sherman Pick Route". Every single time I saw the ball launch deep to that side I instantly feel like it's going to be picked. The only real disappointment with that play this season, iirc, was the Hilton TD, when it seems coverage was broken.

You can see his body language change when he becomes a receiver out there

He has that route on lock. Everytime the receiver has to prevent Sherman from picking it off, or it's going the other way.

Love this quote from Terry Blount in his "Rapid Reaction" blog entry on ESPN.

And any team that throws a sideline go route on Sherman is just plain dumb. Manning tried it in the second quarter and Sherman could have called for a fair catch.

a thing of beauty

I said this in the Gameday Forum. Why do teams keep trying this? (not that I mind). He's too strong for the WR to knock him off his spot and too tall for the WR to get the ball away from him or at least knock it down. Plus, he played WR so his hands are obviously top notch. IIRC 4 of his ints this year are on that route.

He's been beat on a couple double-moves; otherwise, he locks 'em down.

He's the best corner in the game , there really isn't much else to say.

I want to see Denver Off call at least 1 "Sherman Pick Route"
