Last offseason thread on JNo24


Cam's New Arm

Recommended Posts

If we all agree JNo's best assets are his QB reading instincts, is it possible a team like Washington would work it into their scheme to allow him to free roam/gamble more?

Our team is built heavily on scheme.. but maybe there is a better way they are thinking of using him?

I know they also run a bunch of zone.

 

Im not sure with how their other corners or safeties are rated.. but I think that would be the best use of his 15m salery.

Is that possible? It'd be fun to try to scheme that up.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Yes, his best assets are his ability to read and react. That's why he's a great zone CB. That's what zone defense generally asks of a CB. He isn't great in man coverage because despite what a lot of Panthers fans think and what I tried to argue until I was blue in the face, he's a below average athlete for an NFL CB. Zone hides that. Asking him to cover one on one man style exposes that.  Gettleman was offering him great money for a zone CB. The Redskins paid him like an elite man cover guy and that's not what he is. Zone CBs are to the secondary what a run stuffing DT is to the DL. They're valuable pieces, but they aren't as valuable as elite man cover guys just like run staffers are valuable pieces but they aren't as valuable as elite pass rushers. Elite pass rushers and shutdown man CBs are the guys who make elite money on defense. It's why Short is gonna make a lot more money on his next deal than Star. The Redskins got a great player in Norman, but they overpaid big time for his particular skill set. If they're smart, they'll just accept that and let him play his zone role and not try to force him to be something he isn't. If they're dumb, they'll try to force him to be a shutdown man CB and he'll be a huge FA bust.

Ah hell, let's hope they're dumb. Norman is gonna make a ton of money from them no matter what. If they're dumb and force him into a role where he won't excel, maybe they'll cut him and we can get him back at a discount. A man can dream, right?

Just the poo about Captain Kirk says all you need to know about the Washington Redskins...they build around the defense, just ass-backwards...

The cluster-fyck that the Panthers have never fallen for. 

See you back in 2 years JNo. Not mad.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
