Simon Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Two incredibly dumb things on 4th down today led to one conversion(and TD) and another that probably should have resulted in a Miami 1st down. If he is going to be that irretrievably stupid, I don't want him anywhere near the field in a playoff game. This is a really good football team and I'd hate to see it sabotaged by the idiocy of one guy at a big moment in a tight game. 2 2
TroutDog Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Yeah, he’s either totally on or totally off. I’d prefer to use him only as depth. 2
Doc Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 The PI on the 4th down was lame. He didn't pull on Parker at all. 12 3

MrSarcasm Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Norman is a Rex type of guy. Will make plays and penalties. So to answer your question- flip a coin. I'm just glad he is the #3 CB.
TailgateChef Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 At this stage of his career, he's a depth guy. Will make a splash play here and there, but a major liability as a #1 corner. On the chart, I hope he's below our two obvious starters, and below D. Jackson too. So I say no. 1
GoBills808 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 What’s with the Josh Norman is dumb thing? Seems personal. 3 1

Expand They've been calling that off arm wraparound for at least 4 years now. It was absolutely a penalty. The worst part was that he read the route, was in perfect postion and didn't have to do it. It was just dumb. 1 1
JoPoy88 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I mean, you could ask the same about Knox. Will he commit a crucial drop in a playoff game? It’s 50/50 in my view. 3 1
Magox Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 He played a savvy game today. That bump he had as the WR was breaking that led him to fall and get the pick six and the 4th down play where he sat on the sticks and got the pass breakup were sublime. oh and the 4th down PI in the end zone was Chinsy. He brings a lot of swag to the D and I’m glad he’s part of the crew. 8 1

The fact that Norman is a depth guy on this team shows how stacked we are.

Then he jumped up and started yapping in the guys face to the point where most officials would have called it taunting and another Miami first down. How you going to feel when he pulls something like that in the 4th qrtr of a one score playoff game? 1
SirAndrew Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m not remotely concerned about a CB low on the depth chart after a 56-26 win. Could he cost us a game ? Possibly, but there isn’t a team in the league filled with great players at every level of the depth chart. 1

Expand If he had the back arm on the waist and not the shoulder, it most likely would not have been called. Refs hardly ever call that arm on the waist, but on the shoulder is easy to see with their limited acuity. 1
Rc2catch Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Norman has probably exceeded expectations here. When he was signed there was a lot of talk if he was done and out of gas and a waste of a roster spot. He’s made a few plays and been burned and penalized some and missed some time. He’s kinda what you want in veteran depth. He can make some plays when called upon but can’t be called upon too often or he’s exposed. With Dane showing flashes of real potential and hopefully everyone staying healthy norman won’t be seeing too many snaps. 3

It's football, every week NFL corners do the exact same thing. Its also an emotional game, I appreciate Norman's passion. As for playoffs, as long as Tre White is lined up on the opposite side, I think we will be fine with Wallace, Norman or Jackson. 1
