Veretax Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The only thing worse was hearing them praise Dunbar as our best corner... a CONVERTED wide receiver was it? I wanted to throw up. The Defense needs a dose of class, something like what we had when #28 Green or the guy we signed from Seattle a while back.  We are terrible.

Norman hasnÂ’t been good for quite some time. HeÂ’s a competitor and a good leader, but heÂ’s lost pretty much all ability to play man coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was comparing him to our own previous corners, which he is better than...but yes in the grand scheme of NFL players, he is no where near where we need our corners to be.

NoCalMike Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It sucks because while we can debate whether Norman was ever worth the money the front office paid him, he wasn't bad the first couple of seasons. He wasn't as good as we had hoped he would be, but this season he has just been downright bad. I wonder if he has just hit a wall physically and just can no longer compete with NFL caliber WR's or if his head isn't into the grind of the NFL anymore? This kind of reminds me of when the Eagles signed Nmandi Asomugha coming off some really good seasons and was instantly garbage. Norman just took a couple of seasons to get there.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 4 hours ago, KDawg said: I have no problem with benching Norman for performance. But consistency is what makes or breaks locker rooms.  Why were Alex Smith and Montae Nicholson still playing? If I'm not mistaken, the play in question was the record breaker. Weren't the Saints in a trips look to that side of the field? Why would you play cover 3 to the trips side of a field?  Maybe I'm remembering the formation wrong, though.  I agree that consistency is important...but I'm also assuming this wasn't a benching simply for making a mistake. Context is important...  Nicholson made a horrible play that killed us. So did McPhee, though it wasn't a penalty but was a lack of fundamentals/discipline. But, to my knowledge those guys don't come the table running their ****ing mouths every 8 seconds. Maybe Gruden was sick of guys like Norman and Swearinger constantly yapping and less often making a positive play? Maybe Gruden had reason to believe that this evolving banter with Thomas was leading to Norman making mistakes or ignoring assignments on the field?  I don't care to know the details...as long as Gruden is our coach I actually LIKE to see him bench a players if it's warranted. I just don't think this was a benching because Norman made a mistake, there has to be more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 To the Skins' credit, when they start checking boxes on the "Lost Season" scorecard, they do it in a goddamn hurry. No need to watch the drama unfold week to week. It all happens over a Monday and Tuesday in Week 5. We need a QB benching, a fake injury (Josh Doctson may have already done this), and a bad divisional loss where the players snipe at each other in the media afterwards. Â Â I also don't think we ever truly appreciate what we lost when George Michael died in 2009. It's not nearly as easy to get the "Snyder is losing faith in _____" stories any longer.

NoCalMike Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Not to compare Norman & ODBJr because at least ODB is performing on the field, however when it comes to a guy like Norman he is passionate but sometimes he just runs his mouth too much on the field. If you are Gruden the last thing you want is for his antics & behavior to become a virus that spreads to other players. The reason I bring up ODBjr is because now you see Sterling Shepeard acting like ODBJr Jr out there on the sideline throwing tantrums and arguing with coaches and I am willing to bet it can directly linked to ODB doing that stuff on the regular and getting zero consequences for it.

HardcoreZorn Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 A great example of why I like to stay away from large contracts on the open market. He's been a good player for us and overall good signing. But there comes a point in time where the contract doesnt match the play on the field.
