He was out on special teams for a lions FG. He literally just stood there and didn’t move. The video is pretty funny. Literally didn’t move.

veteranskinsfan Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Norman should have been benched long before today. Allen should have let him go after last season. I would let him sit for the rest of the season unless a starter gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to correct the thread title please? For whatever reason, you have typed "scratch" when (correct me if I'm wrong) it should read "Josh Norman is a healthy scrub"?

Warhead36 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 He should play but shouldn't start. Make him play special teams or something. We're actually doing him a favor benching him, he still gets paid and he doesn't risk injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Glad to see him benched. Norman's play has been awful. We need to hold players accountable. Of course, it's too late to really do anything meaningful this season, but Norman has been a bum this year. His play hasn't rated any field time.

owa Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Feel bad for him but I think this was due. He hasn't been up to par this season and with a season already lost, why not try the younger guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 13 hours ago, Idaho fan said: Is there anyone you want to see off this team more than Norman? * other than Bruce of course. Trent, Alex Smith, then Reed, in that order for different reasons. Think this rough estimate of our top 10 cap hits this year: https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/washington-redskins/ Alex Smith - 20 Norman - 14 Kerrigan - 14 Scherrf- 13 (I want to stay) Reed - 9 Richardson - 7 Moses - 7 Davis - 6 Dunbar- 4 (i want to stay) CT - 4 Collins - 4 (i want to stay) Trent -3 I'd like to here a reason from anyone why the people I didnt personally say I wanted to stay shouldnt be released this offseason. How much worse can we get with any of them off the roster if it gives us some cap relief. I'd start the rebuild with nuclear explosion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicksogj Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Kerrigan has to be gone after this season. For his health & to get a look at younger players it might be a good idea to shut him down for the season. He makes the occasional sack or big play, but then is pretty much of a liability for the rest of the game. Also - if he still wants to play it might be in his best interest to play elsewhere where the big play mentality might be an asset for a true contender.

It’s not like Norman quit on the team, which would be one thing. So Callahan signaled to Norman, and other vets, a bit of respect in allowing him to be part of the decision. Players will see and remember that. In the long run, that helps the team more than having the 53rd guy active for one game instead of the benched veteran.

A borderline STer would have given this play or two his all, in hopes of making a play, or flashing on film. Instead we get this: I wonder if his contract had any escalators for being active?

Josh Norman has right side coverage for any fake or breakdown. His key is the wing guy on his side. That guy immediately falls back to block. Norman did his job.

I'm hoping he isn't collecting more of a check for that abysmal effort on STs. The team doesn't owe him that. In fact, they should be looking at STs guys that may be of use after this season.

I'm not arguing about Norman's overall performance this year. Whether because of age or injuries, clearly it's down. It never seemed to be from lack of effort, which is why I countered the charge that the extra point reflected lack of effort. Also I'm arguing that the notion that Callahan consulting with him about being inactive is some kind of travesty. I made my argument earlier. BTW, players on the 53 man roster get paid even if they are declared inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concur and besides it is inconsistent with Redskins culture to show any respect for their veteran players. Callahan better get with the program and start crapping on soon to be departed players.

He could have incentives based upon being on the active roster (theoretically tied to him being available/healthy). *Just checked* he has a $31,250/game bonus. And maybe the team feels they owe him that, but not if he's going to literally not move on ST plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Appears he was a healthy scratch again today. But Moreau seems to have won that job anyway. The future looks good with Moreau, Moreland, Dunbar at corner. Just found this... According to Pro Football Focus, Josh Norman is 109 out of 110 cornerbacks in passer rating allowed (156.3). He's allowed 12 receptions on 16 targets for 215 yards and three touchdowns this season. In 2015, Norman's final year in Carolina, he was tops in the NFL with a 58.1 passer rating allowed. He's gone from 1st, to 109th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I like Galdi's theory that they made a deal with Norman that they weren't gonna play him, but he'd get his roster bonus if he kept his mouth shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I doubt we deal him....most likely going to be released. It would be nice to get a 5th rounder or late round pick for him. Keep him on the sideline where he can't get hurt and we might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
