I'm hearing whispers that Norv is considering resigning

If any OC is mad he didn't get shiny new toys at every pick he doesn't understand that football is a team sport.

Like many of the posters apprently.

Analysis

Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
NFL Comparison
Vincent Valentine
Overview
Norton is a run-plugging nose tackle with the potential to fit in either odd or even fronts. He has the size and strength to beat single blocks and hang in against double teams, but won't offer much help as a pocket-pusher against the pass. He doesn't offer special physical traits so it is unlikely he will get over-drafted, but he has a specific value and should continue to improve as a run defender with more coaching and improved technique.
Strengths
  • Good combination of mass and natural strength
  • Shows ability to plant his flag in the gap as a space eater
  • Possesses stout base and aggressive, loaded shoulder to attack down blocks and hold his ground
  • Hard to roll out of the way with double teams
  • Uses forceful, upward strike with initial punch
  • Creates a leverage point to lift centers out of their stance
  • Plays with effort and toughness
  • Uses quick slap to soften and access the gap on slants
Weaknesses
  • Carries sloppy weight around his midsection
  • May not be a target for "bod pod" teams
  • One-way player
  • Offers effort as pass rusher, but not much rush plan or talent
  • Ankles are tight and knees lack bend
  • Lacks initial lateral quickness and is forced to take the backdoor path
  • Inconsistent footwork creates occasional issues with balance
  • Limited radius to make plays
  • Impact production is average
  • Sluggish changing direction

is this satire?

 

"haha remember that thing Huddlers always say"

People are mad we took depth in the 7th round at positions of strength and not trying to find starters with those picks and hope to God they work out.

HB #2 is a more of a position we could fill with a vet.

You literally made a post Norv was considering resigning because we didn't add offensive weapons in the 7th.

Our D-line is stacked. 

“Stacked” when compared to who? Don’t go all homer on me. We have some talent, but outside of KK and Peppers, we are way in the bottom of the league on paper. Not saying someone can’t emerge, but when a situational pass rusher could be your no.1 Guy, that is scary
