Richard Sherman is proof you can never have too much of a good thing. In October 2016 the Seahawks were playing the Atlanta Falcons when Sherman blew a coverage on Julio Jones for a 36-yard completion that pushed Atlanta back from the brink of defeat. On the sideline, Seattle defensive coordinator Kris Richard tried to talk to Sherman about the play. In response, Sherman slammed his helmet on the ground and tried to physically fight his coach. Head Coach Pete Carroll was able to separate Sherman, who then got into the faces of defensive teammates Michael Bennett, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor. No one got hurt, but the Seahawks did lose the game.
