Why did it take an injury for Norwell to play?

To my eyes Norwell may be the best guard on the team currently. My question is, why wasn't this known week's ago? Norwell was not even active on Sundays until injury forced the coaches hand.

Practices are also for evaluating talent, yes? Do you trust their ability to do so effectively?

I mean there are certainly things that coaches see that even the most diehard, knowledgeable football fans don't... we're not at every practice, in the film rooms, interacting with these guys...

 

Having said that, some things (like this one and the Bell situation) look pretty obvious to everyone...  I don't have an answer, but I would like to hear someone closer to the staff, like Bill Voth for instance, take on it.

No I do not. Rivera likes to play favorites. He should've been starting all along. Amini had no business starting to begin with. Even though Norwell is solid at guard, I think Velasco and Turner is good inside. I think with Norwell at RT our line would've been better from the beginning. Norwell is such a great utility tool we can plug him in anywhere. You can sit Velasco for him if you want to keep him at guard, but I think for overall improvement on the line he should be at RT.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
