The had a plan to play "nice and loose" when they took the field at Levi's Stadium to face the in the NFC Championship Game, but they might've been too relaxed.

The former seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback took to social media to post a me sage to Sherman, telling him to stop being "lame" and afraid in coverage. Fear of getting beat in man to man coverage. Every snap every play Michael Beasley Jersey . The fact that he doesnt travel as a cornerback is lame. Except the challenge as the best and shut Adams down the entire game. Do it for the game of football. Stop hiding a cover 3 zone. Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) Of course, once Sherman was done helping lift the 49ers to an appearance at Super Bowl LIV and enjoying the subsequent celebration, he caught wind of Revis' insults and responded in kind. I would go in on this has been but I have a Super Bowl to prepare for. Enjoy the view from the couch. Your ninth year looked a lot different than this. Lmao Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) Ouch.To be fair though, Sherman probably meant to reference Revis' 10th year in the league, and not his ninth, when he reeled in five interceptions and four recovered fumbles in his 2015 return to the . He did have only nine pa s breakups that season Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey , however, so maybe that's what Sherman was keying in on as it relates to being exposed in coverage on a regular basis.

All yall think Im throwing shade. Im not. Just stating the man is not a pound for pound man to man corner. If you know the game of football he plays in a Cover 3 Scheme.

Jason Terry Jersey Enjoy the win! Ball out in SuperBowl. Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) Sherman will now head to another Super Bowl and his story is what makes it that much more special. The All-Pro corner battled back from a ruptured Achilles and having been released by his beloved to find new life in the rival 49ers, leading the team in interceptions this season and then going on to deliver an additional one in both of their playoff games. If he can do it one more time in Miami, it'll go a long way in helping the 49ers hoist the team's first Lombardi since the early 1990s, and it'll give Sherman the second Super Bowl ring of his Hall of Fame career. He'll then have the added pleasure of reminding Revis two rings is greater than one.
