Norwood will prove to be an excellent addition

[top dawg]

He is a well put together 200 pounds. He revealed just a little bit of shake-n-bake at the line, runs deceptively smooth routes, and has good hands. Once he really acclimates to our system and Proehl coaches him up, Norwood is going to do some unexpected damage this season.

 

[IGSaint]

Anyone have a gif of his catches? I missed the game. 

[the butch]

his first catch in our offense had about 10 YAC.  that's a good sign.

[Roebling]

I think our top WR's this season will be Funchess, Ginn, Cotch.... I think Norwood might end up contributing later rather than sooner. 

[MV%doe]

Can't wait til he learns the playbook, sooner the better.

[Daeavorn]

Great trade by DG. He is going to help us a lot.

[SIGCHI222]

He did catch with his hands like a boss but we may need to slow our roll just a bit.  You guys gonna be OK if he doesn't make it through cuts?  Just sayin'.

I don't think we traded for him just to cut him. That's pretty ridiculous.

We aren't exactly in a position where we can be extremely picky anyway.

[thunderraiden]

Ginn, Cothery, Norwood I think this year. Funchess is really raw. This might come back to bite me. He has a chance to be a Alshon Jeffery type of player for us but I don't see that until at least half way into next year.

[XClown1986]

He made catching the ball look easy. His development is going to mostly come from finding other ways to separate and disguise routes. He looked really good for being here only a few days

You call a conditional, last round of the draft, 2 years removed a trade?

By definition a Celica is a sports car but don't tell that to people who actually own legitimate horses.

Not saying he WILL get cut but it is definitely a possibility.  We didn't bring in Jerry Rice.

Again, noice, but we need to be realistic, you dig?

Not really worth arguing over, it was a trade. Yes for a rather inconsequential pick, but our GM obviously felt it was not worth waiting on him to be cut, and someone else possibly picking him up before us. So he made a move. Add in the familiarity they have with him going back to the draft with Ricky Proehl, that obviously says that he has a certain level of confidence in Norwood's ability to contribute.

I would put the "possibility" of him being cut at less than 1% right now.

Now the TE, and RB position groups are a whole different story altogether. There are some tough decisions coming there.

[t96]

Once again, it's just the preseason. But I am excited to see Norwood get some more experience and coaching from Proehl and see what he can do in the regular season.

RB, LB and TE positions I will agree with you (yes I know I added LB but I had to). 

I have no idea what Norwood showed at practice but I do know he appears to catch with his hands which is a plus but I am not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt yet.  He gets an endorsement from the Ron/Dave brain trust, or even better yet the Proehl endorsement I will take the blue pill.
