Foxhole: Norwood a DPR

On rookie defensive end/linebacker Eric Norwood: He's a DPR - designated pass rusher - for sure. When I think of Eric the thing I think of is motor. He's relentless to the ball. He's got a good first step in his pass rush. He's built pretty strong. Even though he might be a little short in stature he's pretty well put together and he's got extremely good explosion.

On if Norwood will play more defensive end or linebacker: A little bit of both right now. I think the more a guy can do the better. He'll be an integral part of the kicking game as well as pass rushing in passing situations. We're putting him at linebacker to utilize some of his abilities there as a pass rusher when we do bring him.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis just knows. Every once in awhile, he said, a rookie will join the team and he knows right away that guy is going to be an impact player.

Davis already has that feeling about fourth-round draft pick Eric Norwood.

“Definitely, he’s that type of guy,” Davis said emphatically. “Even without the pads on there are some guys you just look at watch and you know right away, hey, this guy is going to be a player. And I think Eric is going to be one of those guys. I have no doubt about it.”

The guy will single handily win us the Super Bow.

lolwut?

Lets give the guy some credit sure... but that's a bit of a stretch don't ya think?

How are his pass rushing skills going to help when we face a tough running team, or a short passing game like Brees/Brady?

If we win the Superbowl (hell, if we even make it that far), I'd say it was from improved consistent QB play before giving the cred to our Pass Rush.

No way. If we win, it will be as a result of Eric Norwood alone.

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
