Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman confirmed that he will play the left side in Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos and won’t shadow Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas. Sherman said they don’t plan to add any new schemes to deal with QB Peyton Manning. ‘We don’t vary or disguise coverage on anybody,’ Sherman said. ‘We play a pretty simple defense, for the most part you know what we are going to do every play. And you got to line up and play it and I think that is how we have been all season. This is the last game of the season, there is no time to change it now. No new wrinkles for us.’
