BillsFan17 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 All this banter back and forth for a guy who may not even make the team. Moreover, I'll bet my bottom dollar that if Norman makes the team its because McDermott was able to revitalize at least some form of ability. However, with how absolutely awful Norman was in Wash, all the excuses in the world wont get that juice/step back... so let's not act like this is a good or bad move until we actually get to the season. This signing will in no way preclude the Bills from addressing the position further, as they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This is great! Improve this pass rush and this will be, legit, the best defense in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if Rivera will still run the same defense that they ran in Carolina? Maybe Norman just wanted out, eh? Maybe Snyder just couldn't stand him? We just don't know, do we?

His game isn't predicated on athleticism...it's about reading the QB and being in the right spots. Josh Norman can still be very good, and Buffalo is the perfect place for that to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 6 minutes ago, jeremy2020 said: You should listen more closely. It's a 1 year deal and you pay a higher salary for that. He may be cut before he ever takes the field and the deal allows the Bills to do that without much in the way of complications. Are details out? How much is guaranteed? He has been absolutely terrible the last couple years. I know about the different systems and all, but hoping he makes a big comeback at 32 requires some wishful thinking. I hope the guarantee is small in case they find out he's toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in a zone scheme isnt not as relied upon, but you absolutely still need athletic ability. This is why Levi Wallace struggles, hes limited athletically, this is something Joe Marino has touched on a handful of times. Dismissing it is painting a rose colored glasses narrative that just isnt true. Would I like to see Norman succeed, surely, but with teams absolutely shying away from throwing Tre's way, you need a good CB2. Can Norman be that, maybe... doubtful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really good corners in this class too boot. I have really fallen for Hall out of Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 3 hours ago, Binghamton Beast said: 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. I agree with you. I didn't see anything about how much, if any, of the money is guaranteed. The smaller that number, the less risk is involved and the better this whole signing is.
