Orlando Tim Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I doubt he is worth much even to McD but I think on cheap deal he would be a good 4th CB in a zone scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he play zone or man in Washington? Because some guys excel at one and struggle with the other he was primarily a man corner in Washington. They know how to ruin players Oh Albert haynesworth , yea your gonna play 1 tech and not get to rush Yea Norman , you Excel in cover 3 and 4 .. were gonna have you follow receivers all over the field Edited February 24, 2020 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman can't cover anyone and is a bad teammate but yeah, let's suit him up. Could you please provide some links as to why he is a bad teammate. This is something I’m not aware of.

WideRightRevenge Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Pass ... 32 Years Old and over the past two seasons, he allowed 15 touchdowns in coverage, per Pro Football Reference. Looking at some of the touchdowns he gave up in that time reveals a trend: Norman has slowed down. Whether in his top-end speed or his ability to change direction on the spot, Norman isn’t as agile as he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills1998 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 He can work in the right system and he worked very well when McD was his DC in Carolina, that Defensive unit was a top 5 when Norman was there and quickly dropped down to top 15-20 after Norman and a couple of other guys left. McD and Beane know how to handle Norman. I would welcome him in Buffalo. He didn’t for Washington’s system plus Washington didn’t have a good team around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really followed Norman to know if he has anything left, i'll defer to our coaches as they have earned the benefit of the doubt with regards to DB's.

And even if he is signed, people need to remember that he’s being signed to the 90 right now which the chance to earn a roster spot - not to the 53.

ExWNYer Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Per Mike Garofolo the Bills have signed Norman to a one year $6 million deal (could become $8 million). Don't like this at all. He's toast. At least it's only one year. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 One of the few times a "sighting" or rumors of a player being Buffalo *actually* worked! 49 minutes ago, ExWNYer said: Per Mike Garofolo the Bills have signed Norman to a one year $6 million deal (could become $8 million).

But, IMHO, Beane and his team have done things very differently. I completely trust Beane and McD to make this call. As I've said in other places, I may not agree at the time or understand it, but that's the beauty of trust - you don't have to feel like you know everything to feel comfortable that it will somehow work itself out. Kevin Johnson comes to mind when I think about this exact type of player. People were all over this board saying he was a JAG, but while his tackling could improve - he did make some good plays and generally contribute to solid coverage. If Josh Norman was brought in, then ultimately I trust Beane and McD to know how to use his talents to maximize his play....even thought it appears to have declined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
