Josh Norman: Munnerlyn Never Helped Me

Munnerlyn grew up rough so I doubt he really feels any empathy for a kid getting beaten or sees it as a criminal offense. I've heard stories too from friends who associated with the players(but it's nothing but hearsay at this point).

Also I agree with everything Munnerlyn says. Norman is still just a scrub who hasn't played nearly well enough to justify his trash talk.

He did better against Julio Jones than Joe Haden did in my opinion. I remember two pass break ups and a TFL and numerous other times he simply had great coverage on Julio. Any time he "got beat"(as many of you like to say) he was in zone coverage and it was a good pass.

that is an insult to Greg Hardy

3 games and suddenly people are forgetting just how bad and costly Norman has been here in his short career.

Norman has the highs and lows of a Sherrod Martin at this stage.

How many corners not named Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis have taken the league by storm their first two years?

Captain was a top 5ish nickel CB. He sucked when asked to be something he wasn't.

People are putting too much stock in 3 games. Norman has been a dumpster fire for years here. Past 3 games don't erase all that yet.

Yeah, he has potential.....potential and Captain hate don't make him a better player yet

 

I agree with most of what you're saying, but I think I disagree with your main point. 

 

If we're comparing apples to apples, Norman playing on the outside vs Captain playing on the outside, as bad as he was at it Norman was still better than Captain.  Captain was the worst starting CB I've ever seen in a Panthers uniform, and that's including Norman.  Norman hasn't really spent much time in the Nickel, so we can't really compare their performance there.  But Capt was a good Nickel.

i think you meant fact fest

 

it's not my fault that this team couldn't cut a dried up turd without half the huddle inducting him into the hall of fame

 

not my fault that half the people we cut magically suck once they leave carolina..........i take that back not half all because every move we make is the best decision ever............

we made some bad decisions this offseason

 

letting munnerlyn have a $3.3 million cap hit on somebody else's roster (a luxury we can't afford) wasn't one of them

in 2011, a year where captain started on the outside in all the games but one, he gave up the 4th highest QB rating when thrown at in the league.  it's just a fact that when he's lined up on number one receivers, particularly big ones, he gets picked on.

Exactly.  And it wasn't even the size difference that was the biggest problem.  It wasn't even that often that he just gave up a jump ball because a WR was taller than him.  When he had to cover a receiver for more than a couple seconds he'd get turned around, lost, and completely out of position.  He just doesn't have the ability to cover a WR on the outside.  Too much space for him.

like against miami last season: 7 of 7 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown when targeted.  tannehill was watching out for wallace singled up on munnerlyn and fed him the ball when he saw it.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
