From Sherman's blog:

Commanders Down, Cowboys Up Next
POSTED BY: RICHARD SHERMAN in BLOG

You 12s are awesome! Monday’s game looked like we were playing at home! Once again, you guys were able to bring the noise on the road and help us pull off a tight one. The Commanders came ready to play, but we were able to execute our game plan and come out on top. Overall, I am happy with the way we got after it coming off of a bye week. Our preparation window has been shortened this week due to the Monday game and travel, but have been putting in the extra work to make sure we will be on point for the Cowboys come Sunday.

I can’t say this enough, Russell Wilson is the man. It amazes me how dynamic he is behind center. His ability to extend plays with his legs and arm are what makes him one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Marshawn and the running game have also continued to roll and maintain that ‘beast mode’ status. Obviously the main focus for the offensive unit this week has been on cleaning up mental mistakes. These errors took a lot of points off the board on Monday and they are doing a great job of addressing these mistakes.

K.J Wright, Malcolm Smith and Bobby Wagner have been unbelievable this year. Each one of them has played at a high level week in and week out, and have been a huge part in our defensive success. This group did a great job of plugging the run game on Monday night, which is not an easy task when facing a back like Morris. Our main focus is to continually improve tackling and short passing game coverage. Dallas has a lot of offensive weapons and are capable of breaking a big play on any given snap. Dez Bryant is a big homerun threat. We need to make sure we communicate on coverage to keep him blanketed. And what more is there to say about DeMarco Murray.

I hope you 12s are ready for our return to the Clink. We couldn’t be more pumped for the battle that’s ahead of us. We are bringing in a team that is eager to make a statement and walk out with a win. We need you 12s to bring the noise and help us pull this one off.

I read in your initial post that you doubt that he got that from the coaches. These people are a trip.

I absolutely think he's full of crap, but I do try to give ppl the actual topic details before injecting my opinion. I just slipped. lol

Patrick Peterson is not better then Sherman, Peterson has already given up 3 TDs this year, 1 more then Sherman gave up all of last season.

I agree with Mike, coaches tell the players so our players do not walk into the game in awe of anyone. This is not about Sherman it is about instilling confidence in our guys to not buy into Seahawks or Sherman as some obstacle they can't overcome.

Any time a cornerback is viewed as an impact player, he's overrated.

Reminds me of the Jets game 2-3 years ago to open the season (which we still lost). But they weren't at all afraid of Revis and Dez held his own. Hopefully the same happens today, but with a different outcome. Buzzing linebackers scare me more than any DB in this game tbh.

Dez was surviving REvis island until he started getting cramps. And this was at the time just a Dez who was playing on youth and talent. Dez is 10x's the player now. Truly one of the smarter receivers in this league.

Dungy has become one of my least favorite media guys.

He maybe right though. Like the whole story last week was JJ Watt and how the Cowboys were going to be doubling and keying in on him all game and it was nearly the complete opposite.

Just making stuff up. I don't see this staff especially Garretts coaches saying something like this. They're not a disrespect full buch. That's a ridiculous lie. I hope Dallas escorts that bum out of the stadium or any press conference that they have.

As Irvin said he would not get that from the coaches but you do get it from players.
