Richard Sherman is still talking. After the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a marquee win against the San Francisco 49ers, the cornerback continues address the win. First he called out doubters on Twitter, calling them "ignorant idiots." Then he claimed 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh blew him off after offering a postgame handshake. Now, he is laughing off claims that his defense "got away" with things during the game.
Colin Kaepernick did not have his best game on Sunday when facing the Seahawks. The quarterback was kept contained for most of the game. He threw for a mild 127 yards, going just 13 for 28. He rushed for another 87 yards on nine attempts. Those are fairly calm numbers considering he threw for 412 yards in Week 1 against Green Bay. The quarterback claims the Seattle defense got away with a few unseen tactics.
"I think they get away with a lot of things on defense, but I think the biggest thing is we have to go out and execute," Kaepernick said, via San Mercury News. "It's not really something they did, it's what we didn't do."
Well Sherman did not appreciate that comment. The cornerback is quickly becoming known as one of the better defenders in the league and he would like a little credit from the opposing quarterback.
"We got away with three picks, two fumbles, five turnovers," Sherman said, via the Seattle Times. "We got away with a 29-3 victory, it looked like. That's the way it looked to me."
The cornerback is simply adding spice to rivalry. He already put a little heat on the win after he called out Harbaugh for being a poor sportsman after the game. Sherman went to tell the head coach "good game", and instead Harbaugh continued to jog off the field and did not respond.
"I told him good job, good game, but he didn't give me nothing back," Sherman said. "I guess sportsmanship doesn't go both ways."
Harbaugh denied any claim that he blew off Sherman. The coach said he simply did not see Sherman until he was moving in the other direction. There is no video evidence of the situation, but it will certainly make for an interesting rematch between the two teams.
