Norwood is inactive again today. Unless the guy is a complete air head,  he should be up to speed on the offense by now. I believe the 6th round pick in the trade is based on the playing time. Could it be the plan to stash the guy this year to retain the 6th? What do you think?

Interesting question. I believe that this is definitely part of the equation in some form or fashion. I don't believe it is the determining factor however. I believe it simply comes down to the point that Norwood really hasn't necessary thus far in order for us to win football games. I also believe that the coaches feel that activating him is not worth taking away game time from Funchess who needs seasoning as he is suspected to be a larger answer to our needs long-term.

I mean, hell, we could cut him next season with the "understanding" that he will be re-signed at a later point in order to keep that sixth. I don't believe that he is going anywhere right now, as we still need a fail-safe due to injury, or in the event that others don't progress or show up like they should during this second half of the season.

In any event, I don't think that he's not playing because he sucks or hasn't mastered the playbook.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
