The *OFFICIAL* no more WR thread...

[James]

Tend to agree. I think we have something in Da'Rick Rogers. If it doesn't work out, we draft Dorial Green-Beckham next year.

"TY gets it. Of course, he is not yet where he will eventually be, as a top receiver in this league. Not even arguable that he smoked one of the top corners in the league (Sherman) for a touchdown and maybe two."

 

 

It was Thomas and Browner Hilton beat on those 2 TD's

Revisiting TY Hilton vs. 'best CB in the game'

 

 

 

Matt Overton, the Colts' Pro Bowl longsnapper, appears to have deleted the tweet. But it was noticed soon after the much-discussed postgame interview of Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, who's headed to the Super Bowl after the Seahawks defeated San Francisco in the NFC title game Sunday.

Sherman declared himself the "best corner in the game," shouting into the microphone, and described San Francisco receiver Michael Crabtree as "sorry." This came after Sherman's spectacular play to deflect what could have been a game-winning pass to Crabtree. It was intercepted by Malcolm Smith.

Sherman mockingly patted Crabtree on the rear after the play and gave him the choke sign. Crabtree responded by shoving Sherman in the head.

The Colts won the Oct. 6 game, 34-28. Hilton had five receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns.

Sherman did not defend Hilton on three of his five receptions, including a third-quarter touchdown. Here's a look at three plays where he did get the better of Sherman.

FIRST TOUCHDOWN

Hilton's first touchdown came in the first quarter, a 73-yard reception from quarterback Andrew Luck. Sherman and safety Kam Chancellor appeared confused about their responsibilities on the play. Sherman had underneath coverage on the play, expecting the safety to move over. But Sherman also stopped pursing Hilton when it looked as if as going to go out of bounds.

PASS INTERFERENCE

Early in the fourth quarter, Sherman was called for pass interference on a third-and-10 play from the Colts' 25-yard line. The screen grab below shows Sherman's arm around him.

FOURTH-QUARTER RECEPTION

Five plays after the pass interference penalty, Hilton had a 12-yard reception. Hilton and Sherman are at the top of the first photo, at the 34-yard line.

After the game, Hilton said he took offense at a remark about his size by Seattle cornerback Brandon Browner, according to USA Today. Hilton said Sherman didn't talk to him.

"Richard Sherman? He wouldn't even look me in the eye," Hilton said. "Not at all. The whole time."

 

And another:

 

 

Richard Sherman is an outstanding corner. Perhaps the best in football.

He's a tough, smart, incredibly gifted player who, when he came out of Stanford in 2011, wasn't well-regarded as a prospect because of a slow 40-yard dash time. Seattle took him in the 5th round of the 2011 NFL Draft, two spots below where the Colts would have drafted in that round had then-GM Chris Polian not traded that pick to move up in the second round to draft Villanova tackle Ben Ijalana.

This move is one of many reasons why Chris Polian was sent packing in 2011. He now works for the 0-5 Jaguars.

Anyway, Sherman is awesome. I honestly cannot say enough good things about his game. Watch the tape of what he did to San Francisco's Anquan Boldin in Week 2, and you'll get what I'm saying.

That said, on Sunday, Richard Sherman (a.k.a., best corner in football) was completelydominated by Colts wide receivers T.Y. Hilton and Reggie Wayne. In fact, the domination was so thorough, it was near-embarrassing for Sherman.

To use a basketball analogy, the 5'9 Hilton dunked on the 6'3 Sherman, and, in the process, stuffed his nutz in Sherman's face.

Here's Associated Press' Michael Marot providing a breakdown of two of Sherman's many goofs on Sunday:

Hilton's 73-yard score came on a blown coverage on Sherman's side of the field, and he was called for pass interference on a crucial third-down play early in the fourth quarter. That 16-yard penalty allowed Luck to continue moving the ball and resulted in 6-minute, 40-second drive that ended with Brown's go-ahead scoring run.

Both Hilton and Wayne combined for 11 catches for 205 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 18.6 yards-a-catch. Hilton himself averaged a stunning 28 yards-per-catch!

This was against, arguably, the best secondary in football. You could tell Hilton and the wideouts had gotten under Sherman's skin when, after Hilton's amazing 73-yard TD catch and run, Sherman was seen frustrated with teammate Earl Thomas, who took a bad angle to in an attempt to tackle Hilton after the second-year receiver had scorched Sherman. Following Hilton's first touchdown, both players were seen on the sidelines, completely befuddled as to how they'd been beaten so embarrassingly.

Andrew Luck and the Colts continued to go after Sherman the rest of the Seahawks corners in the second half, a tactic many would have viewed as INSANE if not for the fact that it worked! Sherman seemed shell-shocked after that first Hilton touchdown, and instead of getting back to playing coverage, he resorted to grabbing and holding the rest of the game, which he was eventually flagged for on that critical third-down.

That's not to say that the Colts receivers weren't guilty themselves of some illegal pushing and shoving. On the Colts two-point conversion following Donald Brown's touchdown run to get the lead back, Reggie Wayne pushed off on Richard Sherman and snatched Luck's across-the-body throw.

 

Wasn't mindful of the specifics, just know he kicked serious butt on Sherman, as agreed above. Yes, TY is well on his way to being as good as Marvin - but for some reason many of you seem really resistant to the idea that ANYBODY could be as good as Marvin. Go figure. As fans I would think you would be pretty happy about it.

I can not understand nor get behind this line of reasoning. 

He might lose some of his agility and speed but he should still possess the same knowledge as to how to get in to open space. And his hands will still be good.

This draft is extremely Deep with Talent at the WR position, i wouldnt be opposed to taking one who is the BPA at our selection. gotta remember Reggie is coming off of a huge surgery we arent sure exaclty if he will return to form, TY is proven, DHB is gone (good ridence), Da'Rick isnt exactly proven, Brazil has showed some promise, and Whalen has been ok/ if you ask me there is room for another receiver to come in and Compete. Now personally id prefer us to Draft to improve the OL and Defense.
