To what do you attribute this improvement? Especially when he plays for a soft-rah-rah type guy like Pete Carroll? A 5th rounder out-performing more experienced 1st rounders like Deangelo Hall? What??
Still maybe my favorite .gif of all time...Hate D Hall.

What's the big deal about Richard Sherman? Dude was not even TRAINED as a cornerback in college. Dude is not even an All-Pro. I think he sucks and just gets alot of press because of his talking smack.
Okay, I'm going to assume this isn't sarcasm.
Sometimes you get beat. Happens to everyone.
But Sherman is a 6'3" corner that doesn't have the typical downfalls of a guy his size. He can play both zone and man at an elite level. It's unusual for a guy his size but he's better at zone than he is at man coverage, but he's still better at man than anyone not named Revis.
He plays the right side of the field, predominantly, but when Browner is out, he played the left side equally as well.
He doesn't really have any weaknesses, although smaller receivers typically give him a little more trouble.
He shut his man down... I mean complete and utter shut-down where the receiver had a snowball's chance somewhere between 90--100 times last year on around 400 snaps. For reference sake to show just how ridiculous this is, a normal GREAT year would see a CB shut his man down around 65 times.
So he shuts his guy down completely around 25% of the time and is in position around 75%--85% of the time, and his passer rating against last year was 41, which was 2nd best for guys who played at least half of all the defensive snaps. Casey Hayward was the only person to finish ahead of him, but he played almost 300 snaps less.
Earl Thomas....sucked before the Seahawks
Kam Chancellor...sucked before the Seahawks...5th rounder
Richard Sherman...nobody before the Seahawks....5th rounder
Brandon Browner...nobody before the Seahawks....undrafted free agent
Yet they have the best supposed secondary in the NFL. WHAT?

Solid corner? Maybe.
But he's dirty. I think I vaguely remember him trying to take out DeSean Jackson earlier this year.
Looks like Hall is covering Dez again. I can't stand this guy. He's one of the dirtiest players in the entire NFL and he'll do ANYTHING to take someone out.
"DeAngelo Hall is expected to shadow Dez Bryant in Sunday night's Week 6 matchup.
Hall is a physical corner despite his 5-foot-10, 195-pound frame and held up well against Dez late last season. Still, Bryant has had plenty of historical success when facing the Skins. Over the last two years, he's averaging 4.7 catches for 86.7 yards with three touchdowns in four games against Hall. Bryant is an excellent bet to get in the end zone again come Sunday. Oct 9 - 9:14 AM"
