But I am losing interest now that one of my favorite players maybe gone. And I'll say it again if anyone needs to look at who needs trading its Pete himself, not Richard. No matter where he may go I'll remember how he played with one arm on that infamous Sunday night in Arizona. That defense; Kam with the bad knee, Earl with the torn shoulder, and Avril who had to leave with a concussion, all played like the warriors they were, and still are. They couldn't control the accident that was about to happen with 26 seconds to go. And now Richard is being held as the sacrificial lamb to send a message to everyone else, to just shut up and play; or else. What a way to build chemistry. And they call Pete a player's coach.
Well said
Lol sacrificial lamb? Okay. It's not like Carroll hasnt granted first or second chances for players to reign in thier attitudes.
If we are looking at Sherman last year:
1. Blaming Kelcie McCray on Sherman's own failure to get the play, blowing up on the sideline on Kris Richard/Kam afterwards.
2. The Jim Moore fiasco
3. The Darrell Bevell fiasco
4. Underlying back-handed comments about Pete, i.e. his "koombaya meetings" comments
5. Pete sticking up for Sherm, with revealing he played with a knee injury, did Sherman do anything to help negate the backlash knowing the Seahawks could lose a draft pick over it? The only thing that saved the Seahawks from a penalty was probably Le'veon Bell and the Steelers.
6. In my opinion, this one really highlights Sherman what Sherman was in a nut shell. In a post season interview, he denied what he said to Moore despite actual video/audio evidence and pushed a fake news agenda.
I can't actually believe some of you are victimizing Richard Sherman. That's unbelievable really, when his 2016 is marred with self-serving actions that was detrimental to the team.
Sherman has been always painted a villian, he reveled in that but as others have said he directed that outwards into his opponents, his naysayers, etc.
2016 for whatever reasons became a monster, and pretty much no one was safe, friend or foe.
You don't think Carroll gave him the chances to make amends, to calm the storm?
The thing is if Carroll really wanted Sherman gone, he would be. Sherman would have been traded or cut for fodder, if the brass really wanted to send a message to the team.
If they wanted to slaughter the "sacrificial lamb".
