What happened to him?

I know he had a couple rough weeks and agree with is benching, but is there no place on the field for him currently?

Moving forward, would a transition to safety make sense. He lacks speed but seems to be instinctive and is a solid tackler.

Yeah, just saw that.

Some good points. I just didn't see enough bad to warrant a benching. Even in poor play, I think he's outplayed Thomas.

However, we are winning games since the move so what do I know

I have yet to see Thomas play soft, he covers his players a hell of a lot better than Norman. Norman plays off of every single WR he faces by about 7-10 yards and has given up to many big plays to warrant not being benched long ago. Thomas, Captian and Campbell has out played him and deserve to play over Norman.

Ohh my damn. Josh Thomas has played outstanding, not outstanding for a scrap heap scrub, just outstanding.

The old doghouse theory just does't hold water most of the time. Players are graded on every play every week in games and in practice. If a guy isn't playing it is because he is not grading out the best at hat position, plain and simple. Norman was playing ff his man and making mistakes. Since he was benched the secondary has improved. Frankly the guys who have come in are hungry and aggressive. They deserve to play over Norman.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
