I was not a huge Gettleman fan, but unlike a lot of our fan base, I was not too upset when he didn't gift Norman a huge deal.  Why?  Norman was a system guy.  He fit this system well...and need I remind you all even struggled (benched on occasion) as he was trying to grasp our zone concept.  The problem, as it always has been, this front office is slow to replace key pieces until it'a SO obvious that there is a deficiency.

Gettleman should not have rescinded the franchise tag. That was foolish managing.

Yet, he's a healthy scratch today?  Josh has not lived up to his deal in Washington.  He's flashed here and there, but in no way has shown he deserved #1 corner money.

That was 2016. Norman has now passed his prime. We should have kept him for one year (2016) and made another Super Bowl run.

He balled out for about a season and a half and got a mega deal.  Not bad for a dude from a school that's basically an open date for App State every year.

As with many NFL players--He balled out in a contract year.  You have to be leery of player that only show up in contract years.  Heck all of a sudden Vernon Butler doesn't suck after four years of warming the bench. Oh! Contract year...

Agreed, at a minimum we should have kept him that year so we could develop our young CBs instead of throwing all rookies on the field and expecting it to play out well.

Imagine Bradberry and Norman in 2016 instead of a secondary made up of rookies.

The refs letting Cam get murdered on the field, Kelvin Benjamin not giving a fug, and Michael Oher suffering a career-ending concussion are the main factors that undid that season.  Just adding Josh Norman to that doesn't get us to playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.

No way he was worth that contract, but I don’t know if he was ever a good fit with the defense they play in Washington. He was the 69th ranked cb last year alone and is still one of the highest paid in the league. It makes me wonder what type of contract Bradberry will get this offseason.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
