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 think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
