Norman / Bene next season.

Bene has been promising, but Norman has just been so up and down throughout his career that I have a hard time trusting him to the point of penciling him in as a starter next season.  If Norman and Bene end up as the starting CBs, that's great, but I hope Gettleman doesn't count on it.

 

 

true, but he's got more experience and coaching now.  Considering his age, he's looking like a quality pick.

I think it is way too early to consider Norman solid. 2 "good" games while opposing QBs have licked their chops at some glaring guys asking to be beat. I just think Norman is experiencing life not being the weakest DB. His great play could largely be aided by QBs simply picking on others....not that they couldn't so what they always have to him

We have so many holes and weak spots it could just be a case of QBs having weaker spots highlighted to attack. If I was an opposing QB the past few weeks I would just throw at our nickel CB in every big moment.

I think it'd be a great idea, I just worry about the nickel in that situation because in our scheme, our nickel is as important as the #2. That said, if this happens, what about the idea of spending the offseason transitioning white to safety (he's a big hard hitter who was a safety in college and considered a tweener in the draft), bene and Norman outside, and white/Boston at safety. I think that's better than we have with geritol and decoud and white out wide.

Nickel CB in today's NFL should be considered a starter.

This. In today's NFL, the nickel package has almost become the base defense. The nickelback usually plays more snaps than our strongside OLB.

Which means if you GM can't even find one CB.....you are screwed.

Bash Captain all you want. In our nickel package he made QBs earn it. Helped pass rush. Now it is a gift, ball out to open guy and pass rush has no shot

Bene is the nickel starter.

Norman is still questionable but I don't mind him being the no2.

We still have to find a legit no1. That will come thru the draft.

If anyone thinks that we'll be fine next year with Norman and Bene, LMFAO! You're a damn fool.

 

We can be, the key though is improved play at safety.  Harper played some Nakamura/circus style garbage at safety.  Decoud is alright, but not great.  He is what we thought Harper could be, a stopgap.  Boston hasn't been great, but I have seen some decent things from him, I think he has a lot of potential in the NFL.  If (AND THATS A BIG IF!), if, Norman remains solid, Bene continues to improve, and White remains servicable, then IMO, it'll be more important for us to look for a safety in the draft or free agency than a Corner.  did I mention it's only IF all 3 of those things happen.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
