That is why we signed Norman Shark

[deanpet21]

Huge play for the pick. The defense again refuses to blitz on 3rd and long but we get two fumble recoveries and a huge pick by Norman in Cle own end to setup the TD. I think both FF were caused by both ILB's. See Shark, Carolina does miss Norman. Look at what Atl did to them today. Remember we had this argument that Carolina wasn't going to miss Norman. You need Cb's period.

I think Norman caused one of the fumbles as well. He was getting abused by Pryor in the first half, though Pryor might be able to abuse any CB with his size, strength and speed/.

He akso runs his mouth too for my liking, but if that's what he need to do, he gotta do what he gotta do.

I like Josh Norman and his attitude. He isn't afraid to tackle and doesn't back down.

As for Pryor in the first half, I'm not sure 4 catches for 48 yards is abuse. Besides, Norman was right there on every play.

I think the FF were forced by the two ILB's. Norman made the play of the game late in the 4th.

Imagine if we didn't have Norman on this team?

 

[Breed]

As someone I know would say. He's a cornball.

Norman got abused like a stepchild for the entire first half. Yes he made a good play. But all in all, he is being paid as if he is the best CB in the league, and he is performing like just about any other CB. As for Carolina... the Falcons defense won that game, even with Norman we have one of the bottom five defenses in the league. I expect more from the highest paid player at his position in the league. And you Dean are still a name hoe.

 

[Sharkinva]

Without Norman, Carolina is still the 11th best defense in the NFL.

With Norman, we are ranked 29th... So yes we needed him or else we might actually be the worst defense in the league.

Pryor had 48 yards and a TD that is not abused. Pryor was basically shut down in the 2nd half. Norman made a game saving play. Norman is performaning very well IMO. What would we do without him you have to ask yourself. The only defense that got abused was Carolina. We are better with Norman. Carolina is worst without Norman.

Better than what?? We are still the 29th defense in the league giving up 28 points per game. The majority of the game he had help over the top, and Pryor still got almost ten yards a catch and a TD. The way you stroke his choke, Pryor should have gotten NOTHING, and damn sure should not have gotten a TD over him.

In the 2nd half and the game on the line Pryor didnt get anything. He shut the guy down in the 2nd half and basically won the game for us. But you continue to knock him. unbelievable. The guy stepped up in a clutch situation. That is what you should be talking about. Not TM's one sack.

Carolina gave up 300 yards to Julio...they miss Norman.

I didn't see him getting help.

I saw the first catch Pryor got the catch because it was delivered on time right after the break. Norman was all over him.

The second catch was a near push off and delivered perfectly.

I don't really remember the other catch.

The TD catch sure looked like the safety didn't get there in time.

4 catches for 48 yards really isn't a big deal anyways and I'm not sure how that is abuse.

not sure what the context of your comment was ... but yeah. I get this feeling about him ... like I bet he wears tight jeans too, lls.

But thats just me being an old "get of off my lawn" man i guess with these kids these days.

 

[Breed]

He just strikes me as a goofy ass cat. And the stupid shit he said in that ESPN interview didn't do anything to make me think otherwise.

He ain't a full on bitch like Beckham's triflin ass. Norman is just triflin....and goofy.

 

[Sharkinva]

Oh dont get me wrong, the kid has talent. But as usual w went for the sexy pickup instead of looking at actual needs. If any one thinks we are better off with Norman over one or two legit D-lineman at this point.. .I do have to question their sanity.

you do not win championships without both dave butz & darrell green

we just need to suck it up and except SM can not fill every hole at once

OH i agree. But looking at this defense was like looking at your car and saying... well I know I got four balled tires. But what I really think would get the job done is spinners.
