The Richard Sherman Podcast

This episode of The Richard Sherman Podcast dives headfirst into one of the biggest defensive arguments of the modern NFL era: the 2013 Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom vs. the 2015 Denver Broncos’ No Fly Zone. Sherm gives respect to Von Miller, Aqib Talib, Chris Harris Jr., DeMarcus Ware, and the dominant Broncos Super Bowl defense — but then breaks down, stat by stat and tape by tape, why he believes Seattle’s defense wasn’t just better… it wasn’t even close. From interceptions and passing yards allowed to playoff performances and Super Bowl opponents, Sherman explains how the Seahawks shut down one of the greatest offenses in NFL history and why turnovers, intelligence, and scheme made the Legion of Boom historic. He also clears up the man-coverage vs. zone-coverage myth and explains how Seattle’s communication, football IQ, and depth separated them from every defense of the era.
Plus, Sherman discusses:
- Why turnovers matter more than style points
- Peyton Manning’s historic 2013 offense versus Cam Newton’s MVP season
- How Seattle’s scheme influenced Denver’s roster build
- Why modern NFL defenses rarely stick to heavy man coverage
- The philosophy behind the Legion of Boom’s four-season dominance

He also walks through the playoff run, the Super Bowl preparation, halftime adjustments, and what Coach Macdonald was drawing up on the sideline. Nick explains the chemistry of the Seahawks defense, the selfless mindset that fueled their championship, and why the team never changed who they were on the biggest stage.
