So I know most, if not all of you know that they were teammates on the offence at Stanford. With both DB and RS being receivers for luck for two years (as in the case of RS). This has got to be a huge advantage for the Hawks as Richard Sherman surly knows more about Andrew Luck's tendencies that any other DB. I see Richard as really locking in on Luck through out this game.
What you say.

Mods, I did not see this discussed before, if so sorry.

I don't think many tendencies from his junior year in college are going to transfer into a quarterback's second year in the NFL. Especially a quarterback like Luck.

Richard spells it out here in his blog:

With him on the opposite team, I’m treating him like any other opponent. Having had the ability to practice against Luck and watch him in college doesn’t give me any advantage. The guy is so good that he doesn’t have any tendencies that are easy to pick up on. That is what the great ones do; they have no tells. He is constantly adapting and changing. The NFL is a completely different planet compared to college. I can’t rely on my past in approaching this week. Again I’m hitting the film hard this week. I’m studying the formations and trying to gain as much of an advantage as I can. That’s always been my philosophy, do not leave any rock unturned. I’m preparing for Andrew and the Colts as if I had never played against him (or with him for that matter) before. You can never rest on your past experience because athletes evolve.

Even if Luck does have tells Sherman is too smart to bring them to his attention before the game isn't he?
