U can put the blame on the coach for this. He lined up scrubs and TE's on Sherman side. His whole game plan was to play only half the field. We need a new coach and D coordinator. I never seen a coach play scared. fukking fat p*ssy 
nope...they line crabtree on the left side.

Nah they play a lot of cover 3. Thing is, the safety that has the middle third usually creeps to the other side because Sherman covers his own third and then some. So saying he gets safety help is dumb as hell.
6 defenders versus 4 available targets
I wonder why this works...hmm
Where you get this?
Goalposts always get moved. Never fails. You cant argue with the numbers. How does dude get thrown at LESS than any other corner in the league, and still somehow manages the same, if not better numbers than his peers

Here's the thing some of you guys apparently fail to realize about shadowing receivers like Revis was able to do in NY. It is HEAVILY dependent on your other defensive personnel. A CB can't just say "I wanna cover Megatron all game" and that's all it takes. It can actually lead to bigger mismatches than each DB playing on their side of the field, regardless of who's lined up across from them. For example...
2nd down- WR1 lines up on the left, so Revis lines up on the left. Now, the corner who is used to playing LCB now has to go to the other side and play RCB. A position he's not used to playing against a guy he's not used to covering.
3rd down- WR1 lines up in the slot. So Revis moves to the slot, the nickel DB who typically only plays corner in the slot is forced to move to the right boundary where he's covering WR2 on an island.
So not only does it make it harder on the other DB's because they essentially have to be able to play all the corner positions solely because Revis wants to shadow, but they also have to prepare for every single receiver on the opposing team. That's also another advantage of shadowing. You only have to study one receiver's moves and footwork as opposed to all of them, because you never know who is going to line up on your side. So for Revis, if he's shadowing Mike Wallace, he obviously knows there will be more deep routes as opposed to covering a guy like Boldin.
The reason it worked so well in NY is because Revis obviously is an elite cover corner, but he could move around because Cromartie was just as versatile and could play both inside and out. Also, Rex did a good job of disguising coverages and blitzes so you rarely could get a read on what they were in pre-snap.

It's all part of the game. In reality, he shut down options. Aaron Rodgers is aware of Sherman's capabilities. And more to the point, the GB Packers' offensive coordinator is aware of Sherman's capabilities.

...on the otherside of the pond
Cro couldn't play inside. He was actually horrible at it

It's all about the inches
So they play hybrid. Sherman is in man more than he's in zone. That is until he goes against real wrs like ATL has. Then he bout that safety help, boss
So he designs the scheme? He's supposed to just tell everyone he wants to play on an island? Its a team game.So they play hybrid. Sherman is in man more than he's in zone. That is until he goes against real wrs like ATL has. Then he bout that safety help, boss
Do you nikkas even think of what youre typing before you hit send?
