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.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      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!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
