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.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
