Josh Norman: Racism at One of Its Highest Points ‘Since Jim Crow’

‘“We need to find a way where we’re going to come together and sew that band-aid up,” Norman said. “No longer let it be a band-aid, no longer let it be a wound that’s there… we need a doctor to come through and [sew] that thing up, or else the next generation is going to carry it on.”’

Wilson: ‘I’m tired. I’m frustrated. When does it stop?’

‘“People are hurting right now. You can see that during the protests throughout the day. They definitely want to honor the memory of all those fallen. But, we’re definitely not going to accomplish the ultimate goal by rioting and looting and tearing up our communities. While I don’t condone the riots and the looting, I understand people’s pain and the trauma. Unfortunately, the looting and the riots are just a symptom of the bigger problem. People are just tired of the injustices that have been consistently and continuously experienced by people of color in this country. I think people are tired and fed up.”’

‘”As I go back to that Band-Aid analogy, we need to sew that up,” Norman explained. “We need to find a way where we’re going to come together and sew that Band-Aid up. No longer let it be a Band-Aid, no longer let it be a wound that’s there. We need a doctor to come through to stich that thing up or else the next generation is going to carry this on.”‘

Bills’ Josh Allen among best of young QBs and has room to improve

‘”He’s still not over 60%; that’s an area where he’s got to get better, just with the accuracy and decision-making,” Gannon said. “I can say the same thing for just about all of these young guys. But he also runs for 1,100 yards (in his career), too. But he is a playmaker. The thing I like about him is he’s tough, he’s competitive, it’s important to him. He’s got all the qualities and intangibles you like at that position.”‘

Instead of complaining about it, see it as an opportunity to really improve. There’s no reason you shouldn’t have every play from last year studied down to the T.”’
