Why not? First they totally destroy Manning on the field, then Sherman messes with his mind. I think it establishes physical and intellectual domination. Keep in mind, that safety flub at the beginning of the game wasn't caused by stolen symbols.
I'm really, really liking Sherman's attitude.
My favorite guy on the team! :-)

This is a youtube of Sherman talking about how he studies for the games. Watching game film consumes all/most of his time off field.
Not sure if it is in this video, but somewhere he was talking about something like “there are only a certain number of plays they can run from a certain position...” And then goes on to explain the various nuances than can give a clue to which of those few plays they’ll run.
Pretty amazing how smart probably ALL of these guys at the NFL level are.
