Sherman And Company Showed Respect To The Rook Benji. Shadowed Him All Over The Field.

Kelvin Benjamin caught four passes for 94 yards in Sunday's 13-9 Week 8 loss to the Seahawks.

Instead of just sticking at his usual LCB spot, Richard Sherman and the Seahawks showed Benjamin respect by shadowing him all over the field. For the most part, Benjamin was up to the challenge. The 4-94-0 line on seven targets could have been much more if a high end-zone pass didn't clang off his hands and if Cam Newton didn't slightly overthrow an open Benjamin on a bomb. Regardless, owners should be very, very encouraged by the first-round rookie's performance against Sherman. He's going to have a monster rest of the season, starting with upcoming cupcake matchups against the Saints, Eagles and Falcons. Benjamin will top his current 76-1142-10 pace.

Is this what sucky teams talk about now?

It's better than your Falcons suck so I'm gonna talk about how the other teams suck shtick. Kind of like your Falcons suck so I'm gonna jump on the Seahawks bandwagon for the playoffs schtick. We're having actual football discussion here. Take your trolling else where. Since there's no **** for you to talk.

Phenomenal!

Makes you wonder why he drops some more simple routine catches lol.

He reminds me of Megatron. I'm not doing a straight up comparison between the two, because Megatron is best in the league when he steps on the field and Benji is a rookie only 8 games in - . but Megatron would make these great catches like that......and then you will see him drop the easiest ones.

I don't think of him as a Megatron. He's just not that kind of athlete, although being completely fair, no one is. He reminds me so much of Vincent Jackson. Their games are almost identical.

Megatron may be the most physically gifted WR in nfl history. I was just talking about from a amazing catch/easy drop comparison.

Matty Ice had a bad pick but a 108.2 passer rtg

Smitty sitting on the ball in first half then second half yes!

Jay Cutler also had decent numbers and a 108 passer rating today. Yet he couldn't sustain a drive and his team got blown out.

Much like Ryan in the second half. Matt Ryan was easily one of the reason the Falcons lost today.

Jordy Nelson 3 catches for 25 yards.

Nelson is a wee man. compared to Benji. Nelson's bread and butter is picking the open spot of a defense, normally getting just a hair behind them, catching the deep ball from Rodgers , then quickly turning up the field and running it in for the TD....usually without anyone else touching him.

Benji's bread and butter is, being physical and catching that ball over a teams best corner, safety combo at the same time.

What about Randall Cobb?

That's not who Lewis covered. The first long TD pass was on Lewis' side. After Rodgers was allowed to make a sandwich before he delivered a pass. Even that wasn't Lewis' responsability. They were in what looked like a cover 2 zone. Bush had over the top responsibilities.

Its like what you saw, cover 2 zone. Bush had over the top and was late to the assignment as to why he was so close to Lewis. Lewis tried to make an play out of it assuming his safety help was going to secure the tackle just incase he whiffed on the pick or pass breakup.

Well he whiffed, and Bush was clearly out of position.

More of a knock on Bush than Lewis imo.

After that, most of the night was Patrick Robinson on Cobb, Corey White on Davante Adams.
