Julio Jones vs Richard Sherman (2016) WR vs CB

Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons match up against Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks in the 2016 NFL season

[@nflmatchuphighlights]

Julio caught 3 passes on 5 targets against Richard Sherman for 40 yards. Julio finished with 139 yards and a TD (40 yards and 0 TDs vs Sherman). Who won the matchup?

[@senorburrito1257]

I’d have to say Julio Jones

[@kishonmoore1957]

Sherman got away with that PI

[@howlnwolf3321]

Tie. Julio blew up when given his chance but only 5 targets with 3 catches isn’t amazing against Sherman so tie they both went crazy

[@calebreuter8744]

[@unomeg7989]

Richard Sherman easy. What team won? More in depth what team one because of a key play made by these players?

Yeah Julio won this matchup had Sherman turned around almost everytime they lined up against each other

[@NahomeBruk]

sherm won this one, out of 27 matcups sherm was playing very good press d not allowing julio to get the ball, but if you wanna talk regualar stats then i'd see why u choose julio

[@kenyattafrazier]

@@NahomeBruk this is not a win for Sherman by any means. I understand what you’re saying, but playing good D on plays where the ball isn’t even thrown Julio’s way are only minor victories. When the ball did come his way they were completions, aside from the one horrible drop he had, and the blatant PI by Richard Sherman after he got beat badly. It’s easy for it to look like you have someone locked up when the ball isn’t coming their way, it’s a different thing when that ball goes up. I’m sure Richard Sherman’s defense prevented Matt Ryan from throwing his direction a few times, which I definitely praise, but I’m just as sure that there were plenty of plays where another receiver was just the main target, causing the ball not to be thrown to Julio, rather than it just being because of Sherman’s coverage.

[@teronLaw]

@@kenyattafrazier to play good enough defense to deny the best receiver in the game a target is a major win.

From what we r being shown he definitely was winning these routes not all ofc but Sherman did get away with dat PI now I say it was little bit of a tie but Im leaning more towards Julio but they both played good so

This wasn't a tie he cooked him off the line on that PI call

[@app1mxh]

Revis and Deon would attempt to cover Julio the whole time man to man. Sherman needs a safety !!

[@chxrgz8773]

Sherman is clearly not a man corner, he’s too slow for it so ofc he’s not gonna be a revis/deon type of corner, he’s a bigger, stronger corner which makes him a one of a kind player

[@FlyHenryFly]

Id say Julio: 56% Sherman: 44%

[@princescille4569]

[@Tangie.098]

@@FlyHenryFly what about all the other times he didnt throw the ball to jones because he was to well covered by sherman? All of those are a point for sherman my friend, so as a fellow said it already: sherman won by a mile

Watching some memories, I was at this game live and the hawks fans called me crazy that I was so mad. We got ROBBED on that non call

[@fan0917]

The refs missed two PI calls on Jermaine Kearse for the hawks. It's not like they were making bad calls against the falcons only.

[@BeHappy-to7yc]

Julio always seems like he's carrying his team on his back. And I wish that last play of PI was called

[@gavinphillips1055]

Funny

[@Rockpet]

AB had top 10 QB of all time and Julio put his team on his back. The only person who I think had a better prime is megatron who also had nobody but still set single season record for receiving yards

[@midnightio3710]

The problem is that people look at the whole video instead of what the title is saying(if that makes since). ON SHERMAN Julio did not win, but as a whole Julio did okay.

[@sportsco.2145]

Try doing safetys vs qbs

[@IntangibleBlurr]

All sherm matchups hard to judge bc even when he locks up his assignments, since he doesn't shadow they can still have great games. This a 50/50 for me.

[@malrulesall9669]

Fair 👌💯

[@kenyattafrazier]

I like Richard Sherman but he better be glad Julio tripped on that pass across the middle because he was gonna run straight through him, I would be really surprised if he managed to make that tackle on his own with how physical Julio Jones plays.

Dawg Julio pushed Richard Sherman aside like a baby on that last play. I can’t believe Julio dropped that pass that led to an interception though, that’s just on him. And you can almost blame the loss on that play.
