Norman was close to getting a flag last night.

although Brown should have fallen on the fumble first, Norman is almost as guilty as not recovering too.  and then, yea i thought he was going to get flagged on this play.

 

No Brown did the right thing. The nearest Steeler was still about 10 yards away when he muffed it. Falling on it at about the 4 is way worse than picking it up and advancing it to probably the 10.

I pointed this out in other threads. Honestly I don't even blame him on the punt, that's all Philly. We need a return man, or even someone who can just hang onto the ball back there.

But as far as Norman goes, everytime he's out there he feels like he needs to do something to remind people he's out there. Given he's only out there for a limited number of snaps he needs to learn his role and shut his mouth. I hate quoting the dam Rock but it's so true when it comes to Josh Norman.

No, he still fumbled trying to make a play that he screwed up to start with.  starting on the 4 is better than giving them 7 to put the game out of reach.  maybe letting the punt go into the EZ would have been the best play.  maybe 10 yards away when he muffed it but 4 yards away and closing fast after he picked it up to try and run.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
