Josh Norman to cover .... Megatron?

[Chimera]

If Norman plays zone coverage, we're screwed... if we let Norman play man coverage, we're still screwed because it's freaking Calvin Johnson.

 

Does Norman playing man on Megatron help us any? I say it's worth a shot.

How do you stop Calvin Johnson?  Many have tried and so very few have succeeded.  There isn't a corner in the NFL that can match up with him physically.  Best way to stop him is to stop the ball from ever getting to him.  They're relying on Norman jamming Johnson at the line so the pass rush can get to Stafford.  It's a fine strategy, but they'd better have a safety over the top or it's going to be a long day if Johnson gets loose deep and the pass rush can't get the sack.

Megatron will get his. Let's focus on our pass rush on Stafford, Golden Tate and Reggie Bush

I see time of possession for this game beingable 58:43 for the panthers and 1:17 for the Lions so it won't matter

[G()AT]

fantasy owners everywhere are running to bench Megatron in lieu of this breaking news

I've got him.. I'm torn lol

Newton took this out of context. I watched Ron's press conference. He said those exact things that Newton quoted but mentioned nothing about Norman covering Megatron. 

 

Just another journo stirring up poo for clicks. Out of character for Newton who is usually accurate.

[Davidson Deac II]

Johnson is hard to stop.

 

Detroit's offense on the other hand usually stops itself.  At least they did last year.  Lets hope we can continue the tradition for them this year.

Get to stafford and when we don't get there at least be close and ruin his accuracy.. I honestly think this is gonna be a great game

[Herbert The Love Bug]

yeah Rivera definitely said nothing about Norman being on Johnson. Cason will be on him

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

all honesty, use your better corner to eliminate a guy like Tate and user a lesser corner with a rolled coverage to put 2 or 3 guys on Calvin

 

That's what the 49ers used to do in the 80s. Put your best corner on the number 2 guy and double cover the number 1.

 

Of course we'll need triple coverage to keep Megatron under 200 yards receiving with the talent our secondary has.

Every time Norman gets one of these "chances" we lose the game.

Blitz the fug out of Stafford.  One thing I noticed last night is that time in the pocket allows 81 to get downfield and blow by the coverage.  Bring the heat and try to not let those deep routes develop.  I'm good with the quick slants and hot reads.
