Former Carolina Panthers DL Eric Norwood Joins the SaberCats

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The SaberCats announced today that they were assigned former Carolina Panthers defensive lineman Eric Norwood on a one-year contract.

"Adding a player with the high-level experience of Eric is something we are very excited about," said Owner/Head Coach Darren Arbet. "He gets downhill as a pass rusher and we look forward to seeing what he will bring to our defense in 2013."

Norwood (6-1, 240, South Carolina) is a rookie to the Arena Football League. Last season, Norwood played for the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League. He is a two-year National Football League veteran who spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons with the Carolina Panthers. In 2011, he appeared in 13 games, making seven tackles on defense and six tackles on special teams. In 2010, Norwood was drafted in the fourth round (124th overall) and played in 15 games for the Panthers, recording six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.

The Oakland, Calif. native played college football for the University of South Carolina from 2006 to 2009. Over his collegiate career as both a linebacker and defensive end, Norwood appeared in 51 games for the Gamecocks, recording 255 tackles and 29 sacks. As a senior, he was named as a First-Team All-American by the Associated Press for the first time and First-Team All-Southeastern Conference for the third consecutive year.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • 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.
