Man, can't we all just get along?
Former Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman had words for his former Seahawks teammate, current Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, and they're not exactly flattering.
During a recent episode of "The Richard Sherman Podcast", Sherman blasted Wilson as not having the respect of his teammates and coaches, and referenced the timeout debacle that led to a failed field goal attempt at the end of Denver's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.
“You could see Peyton Manning saying ‘timeout, timeout.’ You know the difference between Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning?” he said. “Russell does not have the power to call that timeout without the sideline. Peyton Manning can call that timeout without the sideline. He’s the coach on the field. He has that respect.”
Recently retired linebacker K.J. Wright was a guest on the podcast, and he agreed with Sherman that Wilson was "not held to the same accountability" as the rest of the players on the Seahawks roster.
"When you've got 52 guys being held to a certain standard and one guy not being held to that standard, it's gonna cause some friction," Sherman said.
Of course, it was the Seahawks who defeated their former Super Bowl winning quarterback in Wilson's return to his former stomping grounds. It's a safe bet to assume that Sherman was rooting for the Seahawks rather than the Broncos and Wilson.
