My goodness Gracious how is Richard Sherman NFC Defensive Player of the week?

[jjab360]

Week 13 stats:

Richard Sherman (19-3 win vs 49ers)
2 tackles
2 INT's, 6 yards
2 passes defended.

Trumaine Johnson (52-0 win vs Raiders)
6 tackles
2 INT's, 65 yards, 1 TD
2 passes defended


...and Sherman wins the award? Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Stats aren't everything, it's pretty clear that Sherman had a much bigger impact than TruJo who got both his Ints when the game was already out of hand iirc. You also have to look at the opponents, it's not even close who had the tougher matchup..

It's because it's Dick Sherman. He's a pretty good corner I guess. But not the star he's made out to be. He's basically Terrell Owens of this generation.

TO wasn't a star?

Throwing 2 INTs against an elite D, you'd be dropped for that if you were a Ram.

Unfortunately the rams did it one week too late. They'd be sitting at 6 and 6 if they pulled the trigger a week earlier.

As evidenced by Hill's excellent performance against the Chargers.

It is an ESPN world. A big mouth and flash is worth more than results.

No. As evidenced by Davis' complete meltdown as soon as a little pressure was applied by the cards after taking the lead.

Tru doesn't have a big mouth

No he was. I'm just saying on a trash talking level.

Whereas Hill didn't even need pressure, just shat the bed on his own.

Hey. Put your Rams blinders back on, right now!!

I guess you could say L.A./Hollywood Kids know how to Market themselves!

Sherman was like a blanket shutting down SF as much as it pains me to say he did have a great game, taking away 1 receiver on every play. you don't get stats when the gut the QB wants to throw to has no chance for a catch. Not that he was the only choice but it wasn't an unfair pick.

Or the Mighty One's 3 sacks, 2 FF and 5 tackles!

How the fuck did that performance get overlooked right? Not to mention he put pressure on all day!!!!!!!!!!
