How Andrew Norwell Is Helping To Push Matt Kalil

“These defensive guys we’re playing against, as soon as they see you lack confidence, it’s like sharks in the water,” Kalil said. “They’re looking for that. For me, having Norwell in there – a real stout guard – it’s helped my confidence a lot. I know he’s always going to be there for me.”

Norwell has become an intimidating figure since coming to Carolina as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He’s one of the biggest men on the roster at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, but that’s not unusually large in today’s NFL. It’s the attitude he plays with; the relentless nastiness. That’s what’s made Norwell so revered in the locker room, and that’s what’s pushing the tranquil Kalil to raise his level.

Is there any doubt that Norwell deserves a new deal?

In my never to be humble opinion, I think he is the biggest priority to get a new deal. After QB, I view the Oline as the most important. I sincerely hope we get him a deal (Rosenhaus as an agent doesn't help). After we win the SB, I'm not sure how many of these guys we can keep.

No doubt at all! Probably my favorite player.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
