I think the only thing we can really do this year is hope the DEs remember how to find the QB. Looking at the rest of our likely schedule, there aren't any Julio Joneses or OBJs left for Norman to shadow. Assuming the rest of our schedule looks something like TB, Seattle, Arizona, NE: vs TB Norman will probably be on Evans most of the game, I don't foresee them putting him in the slot much; vs Seattle the biggest worry is Baldwin and they do use him from the slot a lot so we will have to rely on QB pressure to force quick throws and minimize damage; vs Arizona I would REALLY prefer Norman stay on Fitz the whole game even though he's mostly in the slot these days....I could see Brown being a problem for us no matter who's on him so if Norman can shut down Fitz we can try to double cover Brown and hope that Finnegan or Peanut can handle Floyd (I don't think Floyd will be as much a problem as the other two could be); and vs NE we mostly have to worry about Gronk. Pressure Brady, keep Norman on either Edelman or Gronk (whichever is wide), keep Coleman and Luke or TD on Gronk when he's in the slot or Finnegan when it's Edelman and that should probably lead to the best results for us. Peanut should be able to handle Lafell or Amendola, whichever is in at any given time. So, TLDR, the teams we likely have left on our schedule don't have the single beast WRs that some of our recent opponents have had so they won't be able to play the "hide our good WR from Norman in the slot" game as much. Baldwin in Seattle is the closest thing to that we might have to see.

yea, no doubt. I'm hoping we can get another stud CB soon, whether by draft or by an uncharacteristic FA splash so we can play more man. the past few games we've seen what you're talking about, and teams nullifying Norman by simply moving their good WRs into the slot and putting JAG decoys out for Norman to cover.

not to nitpick or anything, great post as always, but if I remember correctly, it was like 75ish of Julio's yards that came against Norman. Less than half. A terrible game by Norman's standards, but not as appalling as the damage he did against the rest of the defense.

should be reversed but should also be intentional grounding

if the pussy ass refs won't eject him from this game, the league better suspend his ass for that spearing helmet to helmet on Josh

how they havent ejected beckham yet is beyond me

lol what a little bitch beckham

great catch and run by CAP

CAP's trying, but he's getting smacked at or behind the LOS every carry almost.

oh my goodness that boy Norman is amazing.

I was watching it, tough to tell. it may have shifted slightly, but it didn't look like an incompletion to me...

that double move by Brown was vicious

omg those ravens uniforms are terrible

i saw that too. it's like the refs aren't even watching the Giants for transgressions

yup, you'd think in another universe he might have gotten a finger on that pass....

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! BRILLIANT PLAY CALL AND EXECUTION!!! Cam sold the HELL out of that play!

oh I agree. I was just disagreeing what it seemed to be that you were saying.

doesn't need to have evidence he was down. need inarguable evidence he wasn't because the got the call wrong on the field.

challenge that. that was out before he was down

didnt even see the leg whip on the kick return tackle. another one they let the Giants get away with...

sure, call the penalty finally when it only costs them two yards...

the ads have become sentient.

thats the second time OBJ has tried to give Norman a little extra and ended up on his ass lol

that was a scary drive. Giants shot themselves in the foot a few times, our D didn't look good there.

in case it hadn't been mentioned, Mooch lone wolfed the Giants in this game. Faulk looked at him like he was stupid, and Warner just kinda shook his head. Irvin said he likes the Giants, but picked the Panthers.
