It's a well known fact that unlike the way most teams play, Seattle keeps Sherman on one side of the field. Did you guys see Carolina "test" him? It didn't work too well.
Aaron Rodgers is among the best at scanning the field and hitting the open receiver. I assume that includes whoever Sherman is guarding. Is not throwing to the guy he has if that guy is covered considered "avoiding" him? I don't think so, and I expect the Packers will continue to play it that way.
Seattle's strategy basically invites teams to put their third receiver to his side, and in our case, put Nelson and Cobb wide left and slot left. That seems pretty smart to me, although I suppose Seattle knows that too and has ways to counter the strategy. Anyway, I don't expect very many passes in Sherman's direction, and that's fine with me.
