How much do you think those two picks he had (One a pick 6) does to help his case to win back his starting job. I've said from the start of the off season Norman would be starting. But until last night it looked like Thomas was pulling away with this job. Also, did this game help ease some fears about our secondary or do you still think we have some work to do?

Thoughts?

I've been a big Norman critic but I think it helps. The first more so because the second he was up against a third string qb. Still a good play. I thought it was interesting that he played most of the game. But he helped himself more than any other player last night.

Norman looked great, it will be interesting to see how he plays in the next three games.

James Dockery also looked really solid. He might be the best one-on-one tackler that we have in the secondary.

Hopefully D.J. Moore is healthy enough to play next week in Philadelphia.

As of right now, I could see us carrying six corners (Florence, Norman, Munnerlyn, Thomas, Dockery, and Moore) while putting Melvin White on the practice squad.

I know some people don't think Moore will make the roster, but Coach Rivera has already praised Moore because of his versatility. Moore can play corner (CB2), nickel, and safety. For that reason, I expect him to make the roster along with the other five players.

Work to do but most def thought it was a good step. Saw a few tackles where the corners didn't wrap up completely.

In the same realm, keek has amazing closing speed which I think will help out our corners when they are on an island near the flat.

Drayton Florence looked good too.. i think we got a solid rotation. Once we see the game against the ravens we can better tell.. I really want to see DJ Campbell back there with Godfrey but mitchell has looked solid as well so it will be another battle for the SS spot.

I like Norman but I don't think he can be a shutdown corner. I think he has the potential to be a solid guy to match up with the opposing teams #2 WR. It is going to be interesting to see if he will jump routes now since he has gotten 2 picks. In the past I have seen him be too aggressive trying to grab an interception rather than just batting a ball down.

He's not going to be that shut down corner like a Champ Bailey or Revis, but he's going to be a guy that will create turnovers by jumping route. I think he's somewhat similar to a Lardarius Webb; someone that he was compared to during last year's draft.

OK folks.  I am in the desert here and not a chance to actually see the game.  I thought I saw where Melvin White was playing Safety.  I know he was drafted as a CB but somewhere I read he played safety friday night.

 

If so, how did he play?  Any shot of him or Lester making the squad or are they both heading to the practice squad.

That was me, and I was wrong. I just checked the game again. Melvin White was playing CB. I thought he was playing safety because he was in on a lot of plays.

      Ekwonu contract

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023.

      Steelers pick trades

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
