Norman making most of chance

Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch the whole game. Of course our game would be the very first Thursday game to be on NFL Network.

However, I did get to see the first half. Norman really impressed me with tight coverage, big play tackles (nice one arm shoe string tackle on Ingram while fighting block), and pass breakup hits. I wish they had him on Graham in the red zone on the last play before half.

So i have to eat crow, as I was one calling for his head after the week three punt return mishap. I wasn't sure he would ever be able to control himself and make good decisions. He was pumped up and trying to get the crowd into it too. He keep his head on straight, at least in the first half. Did he do well in the second half?

You should probably consider yourself fortunate.

Norman has been playing much better, not missing assignments like last year. We might have a keeper in that one.

Yeah, i think we have. Our defense as a whole looked much better at the start of the game. I believe he had a lot to do with that. That run support prob saved some big plays.

    • https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!
    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
