Andrew Norwell Impresses

You all know I have been a Norwell believer since the first day of camp. When Trai Turner went down, it was time for Norwell to step up and show he belongs in the NFL. This is not an opportunity every rookie UDFA gets.

 

I feel Norwell did pretty well. He was instrumental in a Cam Newton rushing first down and provided adequate protection.

 

Norwell showed a mean streak when he was bull rushed by 305lb veteran defensive tackle Mike Daniels.

Norwell stood him up and matched his hands to the face. Daniels went no where.

While playing left guard, Norwell fended off Packers DT Mike Pennell until Panther center Folkerts had a handle on him.

Notice Norwell is heads up and eyes looking for the next threat to the quarterback. That threat came in the form of a blitzing Clay Matthews. Nowell had recognition and foot speed to plug that gap and stop Matthews' progress.

Yes, these are just a couple of play examples and the jury is far from in on Norwell. But if this game is any indication Panthers fans should be excited about this young offensive line prospect.

Chandler looked the weakest today in my opinion. Several times it was just incredible how lost he looked.

Lack of experience.

Fans love player position switches, but the reality is more often than not they don't work out all that well.

A lot of times, a guy who might not be quite as athletic but understands how to play the position will do better than the athletic guy you moved there who hadn't done it before.

      Unsustainable

      It's not sustainable,  although he deserve credit for the win also, as he made clutch plays as he does with every win we have.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      As much as I would love to sit here and bash on Young.  I can't.   He is absolutely a part of this team winning.  He is the cool hand leading the offense along with the hammer, Rico.  He's making plays on 3rd and 4th downs, that are absolutely helping thus team win.  Is Bryce playing as well as we'd like? Nope. Although he had only 1 week off from a high ankle sprain.   No question he was 100% in the Greenbay game.  I'm not even sure where the team would find a clear upgrade over Byrce.  He is a leader.  In the 4th quarter, he has ice in his veins.  He is a part of why our team is enjoyable to watch again.  Without him, we wouldn't be winning.    Anyways.  Y'all enjoy yet another thread designed to tear down the man.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
