Rivera: "Feel really good about Norwood this week, will play 20 plus snaps."

[PanthersUnited]

Yes I know other threads exist on Norwood but since it was up in the air if he would actually be active or not, I thought I would make an updated thread. Rivera said after the week Norwood had he feels really good and will likely play 20 plus snaps.

Looking forward to seeing the kid play......should be a nice addition.

 

ps....in before the "RR and Shula don't know how to use him post".

Not only are there other threads on this. But there are about 10 of them. Is Kevin Norwood like a younger clone of Jerry Rice or are we so bad at WR that we have to obsess over a 4th round pick who was traded from a team that is almost just as bad at WR as us for scraps? 

I hope he does well but is he really worth all this excitement?

RR and Shula don't know how to use him

i'd be happy to just have one WR under 30 who can catch the ball. routes and speed and ability to get separation and potential mean nothing if you can't do that.

This is a misquote. Rivera is IF HE PLAYS, he would play about 20 snaps. He's under consideration to be active; he's not 100% for sure going to be active on Sunday.

We're really just that desperate for someone to step up at WR.

Baldwin, Kearse, Lockette, Matthews > than Panthers receivers while Ginn and Brown are the starting options. 

I mean guys here were just obsessed just a month ago by an UDFA named Philly, "I mean Corey, wait I mean Philly" Brown.

So yeah I can definitely see posters excited over a receiver with seemingly more pedigree, size, and potential.

20 snaps. Great! That's a little more than 6 three-and-outs, then, right?

 

(Just kidding, guys)

I feel like someone just dump a bucket of cold PU water on me

I told you after that preseason game that he was going to play a bigger than expected role.  I told you the other day that he would probably play sooner rather than later. Once he gets on the field,  he will play that Doug Baldwin role for us this year,  and he will do it better than Baldwin does for the Seahawks. Believe me and be pleasantly surprised.
