Is Eric Norwood On His Way Out?

Defensive End UDFA from Michigan. Had a productive college career, but was not drafted. That does not suggest he wasn't worth a pick though. He just fell through the cracks and now he's here. I like his size and motor. Reminds me of Keiser a bit.

I'm a big UM fan but I don't see Van Bergan making the team. I see only 5 DE making the roster. CJ, Hardy, Alexander, Kesier and Applewhite. Don't see much room for another.

Didn't he play DT as well? Well the DT competition is pretty stuff to begin with. I think you may be right. I mean he can't be worse than Norwood. Norwood has literally done squat.. =/

Norwood never had a chance coming into the mess of '10. Feel bad for him.

What "mess" exactly? Brandon Lafell came into the "mess" and made the best of it. Stop making excuses for players.....

LaFell wasn't a developmental/project player. The '10 season was thrown away with no effort by the coaches.

In this link Van Bergen talks about how he is adding weight for July training camp to play DT, he said he is comfortable playing DT, so I was wondering, with him being a 290 pound DE who can play DT, was he instructed by the coaching staff to gain weight? Are we looking at him to be used in a 3-4 package? Everything I read on him, says he has a high motor and was a good UDRFA, who fell through the cracks, I like him and I hope he makes the team..

Good point. I've noticed also that this regime loves versatility. If you can play more than one position, you're one step close to making the team. Even at 6'4 290 pounds, that's not bad size for a UT/DT. If he gains an extra 10 or even 5 pounds would be good.

Does Michigan play 3-4 or 4-3? I won't lie, I'm oblivious about their defensive scheme.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
