A worth-read article on Norv by an Eagles writer/poster

For those who are bored just waiting for game day....

A few typos but pretty impressive and interesting article posted about an hour ago. Basically recaps Norvs’ use of weapons and implementation of these variables in an acclaimed more evolutioned version of the Air Coryell with more spread offense type of additions.

I suspect (hopefully) that Norv is just getting started and further into the seasons we will see offensive calling embracing Cam’s abilities as well as our playmaker’s as the article insinuates.

I mean all fairness Norv is new to some of these things he’s adding to the Carolina playbook. Some are literal new concepts I’ve never seen in his past offenses and it’s fun to see.

I’m sure situationally he’ll be better once he gets settled and gets a better feel for the strengths of this team. And especially when Ron stops putting his hands all over the offense.

Agreed 100%.

But part of me thinks this may take more than just one season to really get Norv familiar with the players and rolling on all cylinders.

And if that’s the case, I feel like that kind of suggests that Rom will be here for at least a couple, if not a few more years.

I’d imagine Tepper isn’t going to give them that kind of time and it’s going to be this year or new staff next year. With JR it was pretty easy to tell the next move but this off-season, success or not will be interesting.

In the meantime for the sake of this offense I hope Norv figures it out sooner rather than later because the offense is looking like it has more potential than any we’ve had in the past 5+ years.
