And Williams needs to pay attention a little more. CJ was pretty invisible vs. Seattle. Physical? Yes. Tough to defend? Absolutely. Sherman and Browner don’t say they are physical, everyone else does because that’s how they play, it is their reputation. We’ll see about Williams after this week. Sherman trash talks, yes. But he also has yet to really have to eat his words because he is a freak on the field and incredibly smart to go with it. Glad he’s on my team and only in year 2. GO HAWKS!

lol – so we should expect our coach to play all of our backups in this game?
And Tramon is no Richard Sherman? – lol – let’s see how good Richard is with the shoulder injury Tramon played with last year…. in case you haven’t seen Tramon when he’s healthy – He’s the guy that shut out Brandon Marshall – Was the best Coverage guy for our Superbowl Run – but nah – he’s totally not as good as some corner on some 7-9 forgettable team.
—————————————————
You are obviously misinformed. Sherman is the next Revis in case you haven’t heard. Probably the best player on the best secondary in football. I said it, and I’m not the only one. Sherman regularly shuts down the best receivers in the game and will be in the pro bowl regularly starting this year. Megatron is a beast, but he was pretty well shut down when Sherman matched up against him, just like everyone one else. Seattle ranks #2 and #1 respectively for Pass D vs. the #1 and #2 WRs they face, speaks volumes about their corners, of which Sherman is the most polished “shut down” cover corner and the best in the game, sans Revis.

In case anyone wasn’t watching last year’s thanksgiving game when we actually played our starters – Tramon and the Defense basically shut out Calvin Johnson …. no one mentions that – they mention the game when Flynn/Jarrett Bush/Charlie Peprah/CJ Wilson/Brad Jones/Vic So’oto were starting and not the game where Woodson/Raji/Clay/Rodgers where starting.

C’mon now. Any respectable G1 Transformers fan would know that Megatron isn’t afraid of Optimus. He killed the guy! If you reaaalllyy want to strike fear into the Lionized Decepticon Leader, Mr. Williams, you really ought to call yourself Omega Supreme. You know, giant guardian robot, transforms into tank and rocket ship? Autobot who hates Megatron with such a vengeance that he nearly destroyed Earth seeking revenge? Omega Supreme showed up once, and Megatron cried like a little girl, in a children’s cartoon! Transform and roll out!

I actually like the nickname Megatron, but once you start calling yourself Optimus Prime, you’re dangerously close to exposing yourself as a major nerd. Maybe it’s my age, but I barely know who they are. They’re toys, right? We have NFL players trying to nickname themselves after toys?

And Tillman is one of the few bears that I can actually say that I like and respect, but Peanut is not that great of a nickname. I don’t care who gave it to him or for what reason – his friends and family can call him whatever they want, but a grown man who plays the game at such a high level is deserving of a better nickname.

Best nickname ever in any sport? Dominique Wilkins – “The Human Highlight Film”.

You can’t give yourself a nickname! It’s against the rules. Besides, the guy who deserves the nickname is Peanut Tillman who will have a different nickname at the end of the season – Defensive Player of the Year.

Did this guy even watch the Seahawks game? Sherman and Browner played great. Trufant got owned on the slot vs Young though.

Another Dick Sherman wanna be attempting to talk trash before a game, like anyone cares, and with a dopey nickname that another tool in the league uses. We all know what he will be saying after being torched all day, “Duh he didn’t win, I beat myself”. Shut up!

Rule of thumb: Don’t talk trash when you gave up 244 yards to the guy the last time you played him.

Sure Calvin had 3 catches for 46 yards against the Seahawks. But Titus Young had 9 for 100 and 2 TD’s and Broyles had a TD and about 60 yards. The Lions won the game, I can guarantee thats all he cares about. For the guy talking about dumb nicknames, and then referring to Charles Tillman as Peanut (what kind of grown man embraces that). That is easily the dumbest nickname out there right now. And no bears fans I dont want a lecture about where the nickname came from.

The one cornerback who has consistently shut down Megatron isn’t named Optimus Prime. His name is Charles “Peanut” Tillman!

says the packers fan who hasnt seen this defense this yr , even with all these cast offs playing scondary they still have held up their end its the offense thats killing them with the pass heavy 3 and outs and having the defense stay on the field too long eventually wearing down by the middle of the 3rd quarter

Why would any Packer defender ever talk at all? They are horrible. Aaron Rodgers is the only thing keeping the Packers from being a 6-10 team year in and year out, and everybody knows it. When was the last time you heard anybody talk about their defense bailing out their offense? Rodgers got them a Superbowl and 15-1 record. I don’t even like Rodgers and I can easily see that.

Really, Tramon? You are about to get crushed by megatron. I think Big Mc needs to get some control over his team. Between “beating ourselves” and “off-field” smack talk, they are looking kind of ridiculous.

Most CB have been Optimus Prime to Calvin’s Megatron this year. Maybe not in terms of yardage but in terms of scoring.

The Packer who is most likely to shut down Calvin Johnson won’t be on the field. Without Clay disrupting the quarterback, Calvin Johnson becomes way more dangerous.

I can call myself Optimus Prime too. That doesn’t make me Optimus Prime.

Calvin Johnson is called Megatron because he makes everyone around him look human. I’m not a Lions fan but it’s silly for a CB to think that they are going to shut him down and keep him from getting separation. Even if you don’t give him an inch he can jump higher and has a few inches on most CB’s.

I did read the article and Tramon Williams alludes to only being able to limit him not stop him. Still kind of silly that he would want to be called Optimus Prime though.

With the pass defense the Lions possess Megatron can score four TDs and still lose this game to Rodgers and the Packers offense.Williams hopes he can stop Calvin but until he shows that he can then he should just be quiet and get ready to face him.
