I don't believe this to be true. I was at the game (endzone) and observed Sherman primarily playing on one side (his defense's left side). I did notice him travel over to the right side once when he was matched up in man on Woods and he (Woods) went in motion.
I'm betting that you may have got Sherman mixed up with Grffin who also wears long dreds. But on that 2nd half deep route by Watkins (where he quit on the route), he was being defended by Griffin.
Two deep routes where he either beat (or would have beaten) the coverage - one where he beat Sherman, but couldn't connect with Goff, and the aforementioned play where he pulled up.
And there was a 4th quarter target to Watkins where I think it was zone coverage. There were 4 Ssahawk defenders there and Goff placed the ball right in between them. Not sure if Watkins got the proper depth there on the route.
I don't believe that they (Watkins & Goff) are on the same page.
