Sherman bitter about his time with the Seahawks
For all the accolades, victories and the Super Bowl title he won during his seven seasons in Seattle, Richard Sherman still feels some bitterness about his time with the Seahawks.
He believes the team should have won more than one championship, was broken up too soon and that he shouldn’t have been released last March following a season-ending Achilles injury in 2017.
“You expect after you’ve done so much for a franchise, they wouldn’t cut you while you’re hurt,” Sherman said Thursday as he prepared to return to Seattle for the first time this weekend as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. “It’s kind of more a respect thing than anything.”
Sherman downplayed the significance of his return to his old stomping grounds, where he helped establish the famed Legion of Boom secondary that carried the Seahawks to great success, calling it just another game on the schedule.
He said he looks forward to seeing some old friends and familiar faces, although quarterback Russell Wilson apparently isn’t one of them.
“I don’t really have a relationship with Russell,” Sherman said. “We were teammates.”
Jets unsure on QB: New York Jets quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Josh McCown were both limited at practice for the second straight day, leaving it uncertain who will be under center at Tennessee.
Coach Todd Bowles said that Darnold, McCown and Davis Webb each had snaps and ran the offense during drills.
It would appear the choice will come down to either Darnold or McCown.
Titans aide works through illness: Tennessee defensive coordinator Dean Pees said nothing can be done until the end of the season about the undisclosed medical issue that sent him from the coaches’ box during a game to an Indianapolis hospital.
“I tell the players to suck it up, I got to suck it up,” Pees said.
Pees spoke for the first time since missing most of the Titans’ 38-10 loss to the Colts on Nov. 18. Medical personnel transported him to an area hospital, where the 69-year-old Pees spent the night before returning to Nashville. Titans coach Mike Vrabel sent Pees home from practice on Nov. 23 to rest, and Pees said he also missed another practice last week.
