Richard Sherman is a large part of Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football studio crew. In the past, he’s been critical of former teammate Russell Wilson, and WGR’s morning show Howard and Jeremy looks forward to what Sherman will say about Wilson during tonight’s Colts and Broncos broadcast.
“He’s gone after Russ and the kind of guy that he is on podcasts and everything. You’ve got Richard Sherman talking Russ,” Jeremy White said.
In September, Sherman took to The Richard Sherman Podcast on The Volume to say Wilson was held to a different standard than the rest of the Seahawks during their time together, which caused “friction”. He also said criticized Wilson for his inability to be the “coach on the field” as a quarterback. “Certain quarterbacks, you blame the coach,” Sherman said after the Broncos lost to Seattle in the season opener after Wilson didn’t call timeout in the final moments of the game. “Certain quarterbacks, you blame the quarterback. And if it was any of those quarterbacks, you’re not talking about the coach. You’re being like, ‘Why didn’t Peyton call timeout right there?’”
Joe DiBiase, filling in for Howard Simon, said he believes Sherman can’t hold back now.
“He’s gotta unleash, right? He’ll know he can’t hold back. If he holds back, everyone will know ‘Oh, you’re just tight-lipped. You’re making it clean. We’re not getting the real Richard Sherman on Amazon’. Oh yeah. He’s gotta go off. I wanna hear the harshest criticism at halftime that we’ve ever heard.”
