Who knows...Sherman is beatable, my biggest concern would be him getting into Dez' head.

I really like Dez he's a darn good player. However, Sherman is a better player at his position than Dez is at his. Sherm would own Dez.

Probably not very good. They've faced each other twice now, but Sherman has never shadowed him. In their first meeting in '11, bryant was targeted twice with Sherman in coverage for no completions, but I've never watched the tape on that game so I can't say I know for sure how many times they lined up across from each other. I do know that he had 5 catches and 66 yards against browner that game though.

Last year, again Sherman faced off with Dez 8 times and was only open 2 of those 8 times. And again, no completions.

But I would love to see Sherman try to cover Bryant on a goal to go situation. I don't think that would bode well for Mr. Sherman, all due respect.

he will be asked to run straight and be a distraction so the stats wouldn't look to good.

Find out next year. Im thinking Dez can get the upper hand if he gets enough looks... Needs Williams to prove to be a threat.

I dont really agree that Sherman is the best DB in the NFL.

Considering Dez spends 75% of his time on the left side i suspect that matchup would have minimal meaning in a game

Dez Bryant would force Sherman out of the game due to a "pulled hamstring", it would look similar to this ...

Sherman is playing very physical and confident. I would tip my balance towards Richard.

He would neutralize Dez.

Two years ago (think Jets game) and Dez would get owned.
But I think he's come a long way and would hold up just fine. It doesn't hurt Sherman that he has the best safety combo in the NFL behind him. Dude is already great, but add that backside help and he's someone you should avoid.

All the more impressive when you consider that Sherman does indeed play to the right of the offensive front, most QBs being right handed, he forces them to throw across their bodies to the left.

Always was a pet peeve of mine that Deions' half of the field was generally to the QBs left.

Sherman is a terrific corner.
