I keep hearing everyone mention how much better we'll be when Norman returns. Am I the only one that fears the stupid penalties he brings for extra curricular activities after the whistle? I like his mean streak, but he does some boneheaded things when the play is over.

 

I'm on the fence about his return. I think the toughness he brings is needed, but he needs to be real disciplined in the coming weeks. We can't afford giving away more yards.

I have always been quick to point out his negative....

But at this point we need to try something. If he can bring a mix of positive and negative it might be worth it. Secondary is just a punching bag right now and they look like they know it. Harper too.....might be better off giving the rookie reps to grow

During the Lions game, they showed a clip of him shutting down Megatron on a play and staying draped on him step for step on the entire route, it was pretty impressive. He has improved a lot and is miles better than what we have now

he's only played a limited number of snaps this season, but out of his 40 something coverage plays he's only been targeted 2x but opposing quarterbacks.

he has to be doing something right.

They all need to rotate and give this defense a new look. White on the right, Cason the left, we're too easy to gameplan against. Sometimes I dont think our coaching staff realize teams watch tapes on us as well and put in a plan to defeat us

the only place cason needs to be rotated to is the bench.

it won't matter what they do, whoever he covers is going to be one of the quarterback's primary reads.

cason is the equivalent of an open garage door for any quarterback to throw thru.

I truly believe that Norman-White-Bene are the best options we have at this point. But like most of you said, things just need to be shaken up. If Norman can keep just a bit of that attitude without losing his cool he has a chance to make an impact. At least thats what I'm hoping for. Id rather bring back Drayton Florence than see Cason at this point

Norman has one personal foul in his entire NFL career, when he was a rookie.  I wouldn't fear that too much.  It was his technique and scheme discipline that was the big problem.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
