Extra points Sherman said he was pleased with rookie Terrence Murphy on kickoff returns (27.0-yard average on two returns) and might give him the job permanently. Sherman also said defensive lineman Kenny Peterson might deserve more playing time. ... Sherman said in watching film and the TV copy of Sunday's game he still wasn't sure if Murphy caught a third-and-8 pass just before Ryan Longwell missed a 42-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. The pass was ruled incomplete, but while Sherman said he still would have kicked the field goal on fourth-and-1, the additional 7 yards might have made a difference because Longwell narrowly hooked the kick wide left. I didn't think it was worth a challenge, didn't have enough information to take a chance on it, ... It (was) a makeable field goal where we were.

He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing.

Sherman said the offensive line starters will remain intact, meaning rookie right guard Will Whitticker did not lose his job after committing two penalties, allowing one sack and one knockdown against the Browns. ... Safety Mark Roman also kept his starting job despite missing the tackle on Heiden's touchdown. He's only missed one tackle in two ballgames. Certainly, it was a big tackle (he missed). There's no question about that, ... But, he's not the first, nor the last.
