ehfeuh57 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 very nice, thin at the position 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Like it, was best in zone coverage and is very familiar with the system. Nothing lost if it doesn’t work out. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hopefully returning to a zone scheme will improve his play some. He's been dreadful as a man cover corner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Did any of you who like this watch him last year? He was awful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Absurd. Hope the current Bills DBs get used to Norman getting toasted and then blaming the other DB’s for the blown coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I know he didn’t do well in Washington, but I believe Washington was a man coverage team, and it is a 1 year prove it deal for around $6 mil. He did do well in Carolina under McD in a zone coverage scheme. Given this is a low risk deal and we already have White, Poyer, Hyde, and now Norman, could be good. Now, I wonder if they sign Kevin Johnson which I hope they do, will Wallace stick around? Thoughts by my TBD colleagues? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reserve judgement until I see him back under McDermott and this scheme. There's a good chance he can still be very effective, and clearly this coaching staff believes it with the signing. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 guy has been healthy for his career so we're not signing a guy who we pray will be healthy next year. we have a lot more talent on our d and better coaching and scheme fitted for him. this could be a very nice signing. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awful. i'm not saying he is going to come to Buffalo and have it be 2015 all over again, but it is pretty widely known that moving to a man to man system was the biggest factor in his drop off. he isn't going to be asked to do that any more. low risk move IMO. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Prediction: Josh Norman beats Vontae’s record and retires at the 8:42 mark of the 1st quarter, Game 2. 2 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This signing should satisfy the ‘pitchfork, tar, and feathers crowd’. Played in Carolina, and level of play being questioned by many. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well no need to worry about a corner at 22 Should be a Safety Rush or WR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yeah, I'm going to lean on the side of Beane and McDermott....you know, two guys that know Norman's game inside and out and how he will fit into the Bills scheme. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a Bill this year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't get your hopes up for Norman or you will be sorely disappointed. I'm not questioning McDermott's defensive prowess but he's not a miracle worker. That's an expensive signing just to get a vet in the DB room. Color me extremely skeptical on this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
