Andrew Norwell Impresses

[Jeremy Igo]

You all know I have been a Norwell believer since the first day of camp. When Trai Turner went down, it was time for Norwell to step up and show he belongs in the NFL. This is not an opportunity every rookie UDFA gets.

 

I feel Norwell did pretty well. He was instrumental in a Cam Newton rushing first down and provided adequate protection.

 

Norwell showed a mean streak when he was bull rushed by 305lb veteran defensive tackle Mike Daniels.

 

 

Norwell stood him up and matched his hands to the face. Daniels went no where.

 

 

While playing left guard, Norwell fended off Packers DT Mike Pennell until Panther center Folkerts had a handle on him.

 

 

Notice Norwell is heads up and eyes looking for the next threat to the quarterback. That threat came in the form of a blitzing Clay Matthews. Nowell had recognition and foot speed to plug that gap and stop Matthews' progress.

 

 

Yes, these are just a couple of play examples and the jury is far from in on Norwell. But if this game is any indication Panthers fans should be excited about this young offensive line prospect.

Wonder if he can play safety?

[Mr. Scot]

Admit it. He's your son

[toldozer]

Put him at tackle, because the other two suck

Impressed me more than Amini ever had.

It was obvious are issue was at tackle today. Bell and Chandler both looked like we all expected they would.

Chandler looked the weakest today in my opinion. Several times it was just incredible how lost he looked.

[Marc Anthony]

Hope your right...he did look good..

[*FreeFua*]

Admit it. He's your son

Norwell's too good looking to be Jeremy's son. I mean look at that mug...

[DamnItJake!]

who?? I was wondering who goldilock freak was thought he was from the land of Sveden on his Viking ship!!

I'm guessing we'll see more of Norwell next week with Turner leaving today in a boot

[KillerKat]

He should've been starting at RT to begin with but Rivera likes to play his favorite guys. I saw Norwell block 2 guys at the same time today.

[Mr. Scot]

Chandler looked the weakest today in my opinion. Several times it was just incredible how lost he looked.

Lack of experience.

Fans love player position switches, but the reality is more often than not they don't work out all that well.

A lot of times, a guy who might not be quite as athletic but understands how to play the position will do better than the athletic guy you moved there who hadn't done it before.

[CPF4LIFE]

Start em, not like we have anything better.

[PantherBoy95]

Can he possibly take Bell's spot? You know the guy that got Bull Rushed into a nap by a linebacker?
