[@thephillytalkpodcast]

Let me know what you think Smitty stats gonna look like in 2023 👀

[@PhillyJoker2394]

I think Smitty has same or better maybe more tds for him and less for Brown so teams and coordinators don't try to scheme from last year if that makes sense even tho there's a familiar but new OC.

[@mattcurry7488]

I’m really not worried about defenses scheming for this offense. What are you gonna do? Take away the outside, Philly goedert (I refuse to call him by his first name) gonna kill you over the middle. Check down to rb’s? Even if swift and penny go down I have enough confidence in gainwell as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Run that RPO and make defenses commit to something. This offense is scheme proof. The only thing I worry about is quez’s weak ass hands.

[@symirejohnson8481]

1,300 yards

1,138 Rec. Yds,7 Rec. Td's

[@cassiussaldana5920]

Around 950 yards, over 4 tds, 80+ receptions. Good stats for a WR2 in a heavy run-first offense.

[@louisnathaniel5424]

Much respect to Sherman. It takes great strength to admit when you’re done.

[@Texansfan59]

His body let him know he was just willing to listn before anything crazy happened 😂

[@user-pj2xv5he2u]

Especially when you have a fulfilled career. Sad to see when players can't hang up the cleats before people forget how great they really were

[@eyesonthepiescc]

Lebronze need to take notes.

[@cali2468]

He's lying. He knew he was done in the Superbowl when Sammy Watkins put a death move on him in the 4th quarter. At that point EVERYBODY knew Richard was done. Much respect to Sherman though, he's a legend.

[@Zeus-vi5zk]

@@user-pj2xv5he2uright, I think as a great player you should always retire the moment your body don’t feel the same, I mean unless you feel like you can contribute big then there is no point in risking your legendary career and body for a season of mediocrity

[@SmizzyProductions]

Devonta has to be like one of the most underrated wide receivers

[@thephillytalkpodcast]

Yes sir

Idk why he can’t score more fantasy points I just need him ball out more and score 15 a game

No shame in admitting that, Richard Sherman and the legion of boom will go down in history. Incredible secondary. I don’t know if we will ever see a dominant secondary like that again.

I still go back to madden 15 franchise mode and play with most of that defense on the niners +ed reed, champ bailey & revis. It is a blast being able to experience those characters without having to grind or pay money on MUT

Sherm did his thing for as long as he could. I actually like him in the capacity he serves now. Really smart guy who isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said

[@bentoomet8805]

Devonta is Lowkey a top 5 receiver at pulling in crazy contested passes. His frame is small, but the second the ball hits his hands it’s not coming out.

I mean, it was covid year. Kinda a weird year. Mac Jones when fucking nuts, which is wild considering he's absolute cheeks.

[@johnbarber4963]

This man Devonte is gonna be one of the best recievers ever. A Heisman Trophy winner and hes gotten better at his contested catching and speed. He'll be a top 3 reciever in the next year or 2.

[@patp1546]

Kid puts his smaller frame on the line for every catch, definitely a DAWG !

[@dkmike2299]

Sherm was a helluva player, one of the smartest DBs and players in general and made up one of the best secondaries of all time. Also got a lot of respect for him cause he was a dude that would stick his head in there and tackle too, but age catches up to everyone at some point, it’s hard to admit sometimes, but respect to Sherm in the clip, he was just being honest.

[@ilikemyowncomments622]

If Devonta was a #1 somewhere he’d be top 10 and not 10. But with his frame, pairing up with AJ long term is such a smart play to help stay healthy.

[@TheConstructiveCritic888]

Dude… Richard had an Achilles injury two years before that. It’s why he couldn’t run as fast. The groin injury happened BECAUSE the way he was having to run after the Achilles was creating a situation where the rest of him was falling apart. Sherman is the man, and for several years there’s no way that scrub (or anyone) could play him.

[@joe_hdz123]

Richard Sherman, earl Thomas and kam chancellor….man, legends fr the legion of boom is one of the reasons I used to love football so much that Seahawks team was so goated. Russle as qb, marshawn lynch. They even had luke Wilson and golden tate…this was on my team on madden lol

It's sad to see legends fall out of their prime. But it also takes a man to say enough is enough
