Go back to linebackers coach, but DC he is not. I've been saying to fire Norton WELL before the mid point of this season.
Don't think I care if Norton gets fired or not, he's replaceable. However lets recognize that the roster on the defensive side is weak. The best unit is a aging LB group, secondary below average and a DL that needs more juice to be good. If the Seahawks could some how hit on a stud pass rusher ( to go with Clowney) think that would make a bigger difference then replacing Norton by a lot. Be interesting to see how Norton would do with more to work with.
I also find it ironic that at some point some posters are begging for more risk taking and blitzing, then when blitzes are called and don't work he gets criticized for calling blitzes that don't work. Personally feel being conservative and keeping plays in front of defenders was a necessity given the talent level in the secondary.
Going to be a challenge to find that special kind of pass rusher drafting towards the end of the round but it's a need for this defense , that hopefully they can hit on . That alone will make the secondary seem better with no actually additions ( but additions need to made there also). Would be sweet if the Seahawks could sign that pass rusher in free agency but I'm not hopeful on that count.
