Did we target Sherman

Ya we got our buts kicked, but did anyone notice we went after Sherman constantly with our 1st string O. Marshal made him look foolish a few times, AJ had no fear either. Cutler went to Sherman's side 75% of his pass plays. I just re watched it (still hurt the second time too).

It certainly looks that way.

I thought so the first time I watched. I watched again. We kinda did.

Thinking back to other games like where Jay hit Marshall on that bomb vs Seattle they have always gone after him. Might be the punch a bully in the mouth routine, but the big Seattle DB's seem to struggle with the Bears recievers where they usually push other recievers around.

PS, your a glutton for punishment watching that game twice!

If I remember right, isn't that how the Seattle defense works? They cover everyone else on the offense as a team and leave Sherman on an island to cover a number one guy by himself?

Last time we played them in the regular season, Marshall had his way with Sherman, too. Sherman's tall, strong, and smart, and he usually has the edge in at least two of those categories against anyone he matches up with. Marshall's much taller, much stronger, and much smarter. He might be the one WR in the league who trounces Sherman on all three counts (and Jeffery might be close). It's just a great matchup for us.
