The Norv Factor

[Mr. Scot]

Saw this tweet regarding Turner working out DJ Moore...

Kinda reminded me that, while I do believe Norv Turner is going to be a better gameday coach than Mike Shula was, it doesn't stop there.

Turner has a resume' that includes a lot of successful offenses not just because he knows how to scheme and adjust. It's also because he knows personnel. Specifically, how to tell what their strengths and weaknesses are and how to best use them in our offensive attack.

His input on the scouting process should make it better on the offensive side of the ball. And frankly, we could probably use some improvement on that front.

Guess you could say having Turner could be a benefit year round rather than just during the season.

It’s refreshing to have an OC that has an actual understanding of an offense

Your #24 overall pick.

That's a real possibility.

I really like this kid. Reminds me of a anquan bolden. 

However, I really feel like there is a potential smokescreen here. We have been using a lot of resources to check out WRs.... 

does anyone know when Calvin Ridley will be on display? I’d like to see who of our scouts attend that.

If we are taking him with our first pick hopefully we trade back in the first or top of the second and pick up an extra pick because he will be available beyond #24

I'm cautiously optimistic even though our OL looks to be swiss cheese this season. An OC worth his salt can mask these issues.

I dunno, it seems like there are a lot of teams looking at WR in the back half of the 1st round, and if he runs solid routes as a rookie, he could get snapped up by one of those teams.

10-1 he comes in for a visit soon.

[Byrdman4real]

Now thats how you run routes. Route tree in full display. 24th pick right there.

That is true--I have seen some websites that have Moore rated over Ridley after Ridley's poor combine.

Didn't he have a better pro day?

All along I have been hoping that Norv is someone that Hurney will listen to about player evals. Past experience says that he could use some good guidance.  I agree that Norv should be making a difference from free agency...to draft day...to game day.
