Richard Sherman Felt Disrespected by Jared Goff’s ‘Running Style’

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman ripped Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff for his “running style.”

Adding insult to injury, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman ripped Los Angeles Rams running back Jared Goff for his “running style.”

During the fourth quarter of the Rams’ loss to the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, Rams quarterback Jared Goff scrambled and nearly found the end zone. Sadly for the rookie quarterback, it wasn’t meant to be and he paid the price.

Before Goff could reach the end zone, Sherman came flying across the field and absolutely destroyed Goff, knocking him out of bounds. The hit also ended Goff’s night, as he was immediately placed in the concussion protocol.

To make matter’s worse, the play was called back anyway thanks to a holding penalty against the Rams. You can watch the clip here.

After the game, Sherman said he felt disrespected by Goff’s run, saying the signal-caller looked like he would have an easy touchdown, per NFL Network’s Dan Hellie:

"“There was a little disrespect in his running style, he was acting like he was getting a freebie to the end zone.”"

Sherman also said this, per Lindsey Thiry of the Los Angeles Times:

"“We don’t give free meals, so he had to feel it.”"

Despite being placed in the concussion protocol, Goff was walking around and seemed to be fine after the game. Interim head coach John Fassel said Goff was going to be OK and also noted that he needs to get out of bounds on a play like that.

To say Goff was being disrespectful by trying to score a touchdown is a bit silly, but sometimes Sherman’s quotes go in that direction. Normally Sherman is good for a solid quote – like calling Thursday Night Football a “poopfest” – but this wasn’t one of them.
