Josh Norman

Ok, I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but

A. Norman cut his dreads.

B. Norman was our #2 corner, not Captain like previously announced.

The dreadless look for him actually makes him appear more threating and legit, it's a good look. And he looked decent yesterday, he obviously didn't fair well in certain situations seeing as how Rivera doesn't even know if he wants him to fuging start or not.

Things like that can throw your game off a little bit.

i was watching to see if they play him at CB2 only in the nickel when munnerlyn played the slot, but it seemed to me he was on the field even in the base set. someone with NFL rewind would have to go back and look to find out for sure.

the bucs have good receivers and a quarterback that can get them the ball. it's a credit to his abilities that he didn't get burnt, especially with a pass rush that looked pretty anemic at times.

[Frizzy350]

i expect a health combo of norman and munnerlyn. 2a and 2b.

Gamble was getting beat by Williams a lot. Norman went against superstar Vincent Jackson most of the game and held him to 46 yards.

[GolfRasta]

He was def containing VJax in the 1st half, and doing a decent job for a Rook

[Gallagher]

Yep, Norman definitely got the start, but Cap'n saw the field a lot. They actually had him covering V Jax for most of the game, and besides the PI he played great for a kid out of Coastal Carolina against a pro bowler in his first NFL start.

I wish he kept the dreads. And Gamble.

[rico6]

Yeah, the only BLOWN play in coverage was that TE pass and I credit that to a Nakamura fug up more so than Norman.

He played exceptionally well yesterday.

[GolfRasta]

Wait till he settles in and starts jumping routes...Steal of the 2012 draft...

You can't say that for sure as you don't know the assignments.....

He did play admirably when lined up against VJax though.

LOL .............. Dude Williams had 2 catches for 12 yards. I'd hardly consider that getting beat a lot.

And the catch that mattered he was wide open for a TD. The TD that ended being the difference between a win and a loss.

Not really if they would have settled for a field goal thatd be 12-10. Basic math bro.
