QB Bills Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 It's funny how he actually scratches his head when he says that Newton not being on a team is a headscratcher. CB2 is the biggest position of concern on the team (other than QB if Allen regresses) so if Norman can turn back the clock a bit, this defense will be even better this year. 2
Heavy Kevi Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Sounds like a guy who won't walk out at halftime. I don't see him "returning to form" though just because he's 32, but I do expect him to become a very reliable #2 opposite the goalie. 6 2

I wonder what team he would be playing if he did not sign with Buffalo.

Expand I don't see it as a huge concern. Wallace manned the position and should get better. But competition helps and hopefully Norman can find the fountain of youth. 1
FireChans Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Imagine if the rest of the D doesn’t miss a beat from last season and Norman plays at a ProBowl level. I think that could be enough to take us to a championship even without the offense taking another step. On 5/13/2020 at 1:46 PM, Doc said: I don't see it as a huge concern. Wallace manned the position and should get better. But competition helps and hopefully Norman can find the fountain of youth. Expand CB2 is really just a mild concern on a team without many of them. Our DB room in general is pretty well stocked. I’m confident someone steps up to take the job, whether it’s Wallace, Gaines, or Norman. 4

Expand If the only step the offense takes is significantly less drops, and the D - as you say - doesn't miss a beat/Norman balls out, I absolutely agree that this is a Super Bowl-contending team. 6
QB Bills Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I don't know how anyone can be optimistic about Wallace. He was picked on all season and came up short so many times. Kevin Johnson was way better than him. Would rather they have kept him. 1 1
GunnerBill Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I think Norman is going to have a very good year. 5

Expand Early in the season, Wallace was holding his own and doing well, then the slumped off toward the middle of the season. Not sure why. There is more than enough CBs right now, so the position should be set. 1

Expand Johnson was great depth for us and stepped up when he had to for the most part, but he disappointed me a bit in that playoff game. Playing against his former team on that big stage, I would’ve liked to have seen him play a little better in that moment. Not having Levi healthy impacted the team more than we know.

Expand I certainly think it was a big contributing factor. He may have also not have been happy with the scheme...the team being not very good, and he maybe didn't dedicate himself completely. Either way this situation is better on numerous levels for him, so I definitely think he will be the starter opposite Tre...so long as his athleticism is where it needs to be. 1

He had a few bad games in the middle of the season, but outside of that he was pretty good, same as he was his rookie season. I anticipate he will still be pretty good whenever they play. He gets picked on because he plays opposite an All-Pro CB on the other side. And for the most part he holds his own. 4
