Richard Sherman’s Brutal Assessment of the Cowboys’ Defense | This is Football

Richard Sherman joins This Is Football to break down everything he saw around the NFL in Week 1.

Sherman gives his take on the Bills’ impressive offensive performance against Houston and what Josh Allen, Dalton Kincaid and D.J. Moore could mean for Buffalo this season. He also explains why he’s concerned about the Lions’ defensive approach and why Detroit can’t afford to keep putting its defensive backs in difficult situations.

Sherman then goes deep on the Cowboys’ defensive struggles, including their coverage busts, lack of pass rush and the fundamental issues that made Dallas’ Week 1 performance so concerning. He explains why the problems may be bigger than something that can simply be fixed in one week.

Plus, Sherman breaks down what makes Mike Macdonald such a difficult defensive coach to prepare for, why the Rams need to make sure they’re using their star players correctly, and which defensive backs and coordinators he considers among the best in the NFL.

Sherman also shares an incredible story about his relationship with Kobe Bryant, including the message Kobe sent him immediately after Sherman suffered a devastating Achilles injury.

And to wrap things up, Sherman names his most underrated former teammate, his favorite current cornerback and what he loves about working alongside Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and the rest of the Thursday Night Football crew.
