I watch most games on TV where it's hard to see what's happening in the secondary. What are some of the reasons why Browner & Sherman are so good...and so much better than other players in the league? Obviously we all hear about the size of them...so it makes sense that a bigger player can do a better job of blocking the window between the QB & the WR...and has a better chance to knock the ball away.
When playing bump & run...I guess a bigger player can knock the WR off his main route immediately and hope to take him out of the play. Is Browner particularly good at this just because how big and strong he is?
When the WR's are releasing off the line clean....why is Sherman specifically so good at coverage? Is it that he's so smart he knows what route is coming...or he can just stay with the guy because he's so fast...or closing speed when the ball is in the air....or all of the above?
Just looking for some of the more well versed football people out there to try to explain in some more detail what makes Browner & Sherman the best tandem in football.
