Norman over Capt.

Norman is better suited as the no.2 and Capt as the nickle.

Even though Norman is struggling like how a rookie should be, he has great size. I think Norman just need to play more games so he'll be comfortable. Once he adjust to the speed of the game, that swag of his will be there. Games aint like practices.

Capt was a lot better his rookie season then he is now. To say he regressed is to put it nicely. He obviously does not put a lot of time in film study cause he seems to get beat again and again. He would have been a avg CB 10 years ago but now you have to be smart not physical.

norman as a fifth-round rookie at the same level as our starting veteran?

norman has far more upside, and captain has already reached his ceiling. i don't think there's too much of a question here.

Agreed. I can live with a rookie out there making mistakes. What I can't live with is watching the likes of Mike Williams, Julio Jones, and Devry Henderson continue to catch jump balls over Munnerlyn.

I want Munnerlyn in the slot to take away the smaller speed guys.

Capt is just too big of a liability out there as the #2 CB. If we spend two seasons in a row with him as the starter, it has to be viewed as a serious failure by the front office. Coupled with our mediocre pass rush, I can't imagine our defense becoming anything more than below-average until we fix one of these two major holes. While that's an improvement from last season, it seems that we are at least a year or two away from competing at the level we want to.

Norman looks nice for a 5th rounder and should get a shot, but it's a lot to ask him to play at a high level as a rookie. After falling for the hype on here over guys like Hogan and Butler, I'm not going to expect anything until I see him in a real game.

This has nothing to do with Sunday night. There's more evidence than just Sunday night to back this up.

Munnerlyn does well in the slot because of his physical nature. I am not sure it has anything to do with the types of receivers he faces. I think it has more to do with where Captain is placed on the field. He can get his hands on them and direct them in a way that benefits him and the defense. With him out on the outside, where he is more isolated, he has trouble covering the receiver when his physical tactics don't work. He just isn't that good of a cover corner. I do think he is a good tackler, good on special teams, and better suited for slot. I also think he does well in the slot because we can use him on blitzes where he seems to do a good job (also takes him out of coverage).

Norman is just the better cover corner. He is around the ball more and with his lankiness he can defend passes a whole lot better. He also has a great attitude when it comes to play CB. He has a swagger that he won't be beat. Even if he does get beat on occasion, I like his confidence.

I think the answer is simple, it has to be Norman.

Please let us find a decent CB during waivers. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm hoping for this as well. Much like how the niners scored on Carlos Rogers last season.

I agree 100% and could have not said it any better.

      True, but on the flip side we didn’t know if TMac would be there at 8. You gotta roll with guesses at some point and then adapt as things change. Let’s see what Morgan does

      Frank comment about Bryce? "Excited"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I don't think he did it to spite Bryce. Seems like Bryce is a truly decent guy that virtually everyone likes. I do think Frank likely preferred Stroud and was either was led to believe or deluded himself into thinking that he would have a lot more say in the direction we went at QB in the draft. Once we decided on Bryce knowing Bryce didn't fit his system and preferences in a QB it really seemed like the wind went out of Frank's sails and he basically started mailing it in and just waited to get fired and paid out. Maybe I'm misreading the whole situation but that's certainly the way it looked to me from the outside looking in.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Again, it may have nothing to do with Bryce Young. The coaches are thinking about the whole roster. Many guys have said how much different this off-season has been not having to start from square 1 with a playbook, language, etc. You’re talking about bringing in a guy to lead the 2nd team offense who they now have to spend time teaching. Every team is different. This team is young and developing across the board and trying to find some positive continuity. With how Morgan and Canales have approached everything I’m fairly certain they considered all possibilities and decided it was best for the overall team to roll with Dalton for now. They value whatever it is they feel Dalton brings over the extremely low probability of whatever washed out, journey man, reclamation project developing into a franchise QB. You and I have no idea why and aren’t there in the meetings, but it’s clear that the FO sees this young failed franchise QB project as less likely to pan out than you do.
