I'd say more then likely they ask Norwood to pack on the weight again (that he lost last season in his move from DE - OLB) and will be moved back to DE as a 3rd down pass rusher.

Why if Orakpo can play OLB why can't Norwood? I think he will be a better SLB then some of you think. His Pass coverage was really improved this year and he has the mind set too work on his faults. Plus Beason and Davis can cover up him not being great at pass coverage. He was a steal in the 4th round plain and simple and will be a big challenger to DC and JA.

I think Connor has the SLB spot down tight. He was a third round pick and has played well when given the chance. I'm not too worried about the back 7. I understand were your coming from though.

CP96 I'm telling you Norwood will be better then connor. He's faster he fights thru blocks better. He's better in pass coverage as well as a better pass rusher. He made more plays then Connor did in college in a better league against way better players. Connor will have too really step up to beat him out for the Job.

I didn't say he couldn't play SLB, He's going to get a shot at it. I'm saying is with his frame 6-3/6-4 and 250 they might ask him to bulk up to be a DE. I think he'll see time at DE regardless this season on third downs. He might win out at SLB, all I was saying is I think theres a good chance they ask him to bulk back up and play some DE.

I see what you are saying but my point is Orakpo put in the same situation did pretty well at SLB. I think Norwood can do it with no problems.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
