Richard Sherman talked to ESPN yesterday about Brady and the Patriots.
Reiterating thoughts that Tom Brady's four-game suspension was too severe, he said that he's happy the punishment was overturned AND he downplayed cheating allegations against the Patriots.
In his words: "Everybody does their things a little differently, but at the end of the day, it's handled between the lines. And if they man up and they beat you straight up, they beat you straight up. You can say they knew your plays or they watched this or they watched that, but a lot of times if you watch film good enough, you find good indicators. You find things. So if you're studying the game the right way, you go out there understanding what plays are coming, and you know when the plays are coming. But can you execute? Can 11 guys stop the other 11 from executing their play?"
He continued: "And at the end of the day, that's what it's about. You can say you stole scripts or whatever it is, but they still have to win the game. They still have to intercept the ball. They still have to execute. Eleven guys have to execute at the same time. And that's what they did, so give them credit. If there's hanky-panky going on, they've gotten away with it."
"Bu-but he's a c00n" :patsfanumad:
"Bu-but the Patriots CHEATED!" :patsfanumad:
"Bu-but the integrity of the game...":patsfanumad:
