Norman: I would not bat the ball away

[Jmac]

A comment Norman made to Black & Blue review on the long completion to cobb (?) "I would never bat the ball away,  I'm a stats sheet stunner". That play kept the drive alive on a crucial fourth down play for the Packers. He could have  knocked it away and killed the drive. Interesting comment.

Norman... Man... The things you say sometimes. I love ya... But c'mon.

[Davidson Deac II]

If that comment is accurate, then its not a very good comment to make.  Although we actually have seen him bat balls away, so its not necessarily accurate.

 

That being said, I don't think he could have batted it away.

Was he buddies with hardy?

are we talking about the long 4th down conversion to james jones?

 

i don't remember the cobb play

[Pantera_Negro_Mateo]

It was 4th down. Batting the ball down would have been a lot better than a pick in regards to field position.

[Jangler]

His hands we're hardly in a postion to knock it down, he did what he could hoping it was enough to stop the catch.

#paythatman?

Wait what fycking play are we talking about?

It was a hell of a catch also .. Still give him much respect for shutting down another receiver week after week .. Looking forward to the Julio matchup late this season .. Let the man play the way he wants to play

first mistake of the season

[CRA]

IMO I think he means if he has a play he can make a move for an INT....he will try for it.  I mean, obviously he has laid out to bat balls. 

I think it was poorly articulated.  But Norman is at least truthful.  He IS A STATS guy.  He turned down a contract extension.  He wants to hit the open market with great numbers.  

So don't expect him to catch a INT late to seal a game and take a knee to ensure the game is over.  Dude gonna try to run in back for a score.

Yeah I'm absolutely not going to read anything into this. 

 

8-0.

James Jones is a wizard, Norman made the same play he did against the Saints to win it and the corpse of James Jones took it from him. I wasn't even mad, I just appreciated how ridiculous it was that he did that.

rodgers new exactly where to put that ball where norman could not reach it. he didnt get a finger on it.  rodgers has pin point accuracy like that.  it can be unbelievable at times.
