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.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
