Josh Norman explains how to recover a fumble

Norman followed up by going on WFNZ in Charlotte this morning and admitting it again, saying he was hoping to make Hurns turn loose of the ball by inserting his fingers into his eye sockets. While it might have been effective, it’s also rather unsportsmanlike.

And at a time when the league is going out of its way to create the appearance of being interested in on-field conduct, it’ll be interesting to see if they come down hard on Norman, even though his act went unnoticed on the field.

 

 

Someone should tell Josh players don't broadcast their dirty deeds down there...it is an unspoken reality. 

 

[Bartin]

Yeah, I don't know that broadcasting that he intentionally gouged a player's eyes is the smartest move. He might have a letter from the NFL office in his locker on Friday that lightens his wallet.

Anybody who condemns josh for this has never not once ever put on a helmet and played the game.

[Mayor Qumiby]

I'm not worried about the actual act but more so admitting what went on in the dog pile.

 

Just poke the eyes, recover the ball and you're done.  No need to broadcast what happened. 

[Riverboat Ron]

Considering Pacman Jones ripped off Amari Cooper's helmet and proceeded to beat his head into it landing only a fine, not even an ejection or suspension, I'd say Norman is ok.

[Frank Hollywood]

So you're taking the "because it's commonly done, it's ok" verdict?

I condemn him for this. I'd condemn anyone for this. I just hope it doesn't cost him a game or two.

I've been at the bottom of a fumble pile.

It's a dirty, nasty place.

Everyone knows poo goes down in a pile.  No one cares.

Why broadcast it?  Seems a bit dumb if you already push the envelope with your style to basically yell to the NFL in the media that you are dirty.  NFL is known to....how shall I put this...overreact with their methods when things are in the media.   Don't think Norman needs any extra eyes on him.

[Kuhndog94]

I've heard of/witnessed worse things in a dog pile. You should never talk about them. 

[O-Ther]

Every single one of my millions of potential kids has the wind knocked out of them at the bottom of the pile

[TheWiz]

Im sure he was just Joshin around

[WCUcats]

Hahaha I love Josh, he is so dumb, but yet so likable. With guys like that you just got to make sure they don't go full retard, and bust them in the jaw every once in a while. For that you have Cam and TD.

At least he's not checking the guys oil.

[JawnyBlaze]

lol I knew when I saw this on PFT earlier people were going to try to make a thing of this.  It's not even PFT article news-worthy, everyone knows that stuff happens at the bottom of piles.  I knew the people that want to dislike us/him were going to try to make a big deal about him doing it/talking about it.

It's not an issue.
