Okay, so for everyone following the little feud between Roddy White and Richard Sherman, you already know about the events leading up to this little discourse. It all started last season, when the two were jawing at each other before the Falcons v. Seahawks playoff game. In the game, White burned Sherman for a 76 yd touchdown. To be fair, Sherman was expecting safety help and didn't get it. Overall, Sherman did a pretty good job on White, holding him to only 76 yards.
So recently, they were both selected on the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2012 list. White was higher than Sherman. When interviewed, Sherman said that White didn't belong on the list and that Julio Jones was a bigger factor. In response, White, although acknowledging that Sherman belonged, called Sherman a "talker" who needs to step his game up. Good shit.I love it.
While I absolutely despise Sherman, I still believe that he's the best corner in the league right now. Until Revis shows up healthy and plays well, Sherman is number 1. White, posted a solid season last year, may be on the decline. At age 31, he's going to have a hard time keeping his speed and explosiveness. Sherman, on the other hand, is young and plays on a young team loaded with talent. White still plays on a great team, but I don' t think he can consistently win against Richard Sherman. I hate to admit it, but even on the 76 yd touchdown, it looked as if it was the safety's fault more than Sherman's fault. As a Pats fan, I would love to see Sherman fail. But dammit, he isn't.
