9-2- practice updates... Some interesting news so far

[Achilles]

I don't think it is a fluke that Norman picked off so many passes in the preseason.  Granted, it might have been that the offenses were watered down and some of the time he was playing against back ups.  But he clearly has a nose for the ball and did a good job of baiting the QB to throw the ball and the jumping the route.  That shows some quickness and good instincts.  Yeah maybe the kid isn't as polished as some DBs, but he has improved and I do think that he has the talent to lead this team in INTs this season.

 

Munnerlyn really does get beat a lot.  I see why they are hesitant to put the two Joshes out there.  But in terms of being physical, dynamic pass defenders, I think they are our best options.  For every time he gets burned, Norman is going to do something game changing.  For every time Munnerlyn gets burned, he gets burned again.

you do know there is a difference.................right?

He'll be fine.

[Kuech the Sneak]

The two Josh's are probably our best cover guys from what I've seen, and they're both good tacklers too

[rayzor]

i'm sure that it's been pointed out that there's not a whole lot of difference between the starting CBs and the 3rd CB because we run in nickel formations for about 75% of the snaps.

 

whether capt is starting over either josh...all three are going to be on the field most of the time. it's not really a big deal.

I think Rivera knows Norman is our future starting CB and I think he wants it to happen asap.

 

At the same time, Rivera wants to see Josh continue to develop and play within his assignments and he is going to hold off starting him until he is sure Josh won't fall down again.

 

Once Norman really gets it, look out.

And Arian Foster was an UDFA.

Anyone who throws out the round that someone was drafted (after they have been in the league multiple years) as a failed attempt to say they are no good has the football IQ of a swamp rat.

Ouch comparing his iq to a saints fan thats low

[TreFoPanther]

Its a different story when the players that are drafted late or undrafted turn into all-pro players, like Adrian Foster or Greg Hardy for example. Has Captain done that? No.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Wow if Captian is starting I guess no other corner will play according to these reactions. Geesh..the complaining about dumb pooh is skullcrushing..

Josh Thomas played very well as a starter last season, I have no problem with him starting. Like it or not, all of Norman's int's were at the right place at the right time. I would like to see him get into the games quite often, but  I don't think he should be a starter just yet.

[SIGCHI222]

If captain was 3 inches taller he'd be a shutdown corner.

Ivan, have I told a lie yet?

[wine-o and cheese-doodle]

I want someone to rag on the DBs of the Bears, Eagles, Ravens and Steelers because ours outplayed the whole bunch of them regardless of which string was in the game.
