Bob in STL Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 All the Jet jokes are sounding bad. They are not as far away as some think. I am fine with Levi. I just hope he is healthy. If he was he would be starting over Norman. A strong pass rush is important tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat Washington, Miami, Oakland, NY Giants, Steelers and Us when we were resting players--losses to the Ravens & Bengles & Miami in the last 8 games.....not too worried about this jets team on sunday Edited September 11, 2020 by JPP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dominant in TB the last 4 games when he got a shot at being a #1. This is the NFL, you can't underestimate your opponent on any given Sunday. So you are discounting the rest of his career?

He's fast but I can name at least 10 WRs that are faster and Perriman is coming off injury to boot. I'm one of the fans who think we are lacking at CB2. To me Levi is solid depth, average starter. Yes I understand we can't have an All Pro at every position but I thought we would have done better in the off season than Norman. True, any given Sunday but as far as underestimating? Remember who coaches this team. McD would prep our starters against a Pop Warner team. He ran an official 4.25 at his pro day with one scout clocking him at 4.19. Good luck naming 10 wrs who are faster. I completely agree with thinking they would've done more than just Norman at cb this off-season. 1 minute ago, Just Joshin' said: So you are discounting the rest of his career? No, I'm saying he's big, really fast, and it's never good to underestimate your opponent. This is the NFL, there's talent all over the field on both sides.

I don't put much stock in those as the numbers a lot of times are skewed in favor of the player. Yes he's fast but off the top of my head, T. Hill, J. Ross, M. Goodwin, J. Grant, Ma. Brown, W. Fuller, B. Cooks, P. Dorsett, Diggs? Plus "timed" speed doesn't always translate to game speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bud. 1. Elite (All Pro) 2. Above Average ( Pro Bowl ) 3. Average 4. Fair I like Wallace, he's a good player. But remember he's small IIRC 6ft 180lbs. If he goes down that side of the D becomes a liability. We can get away with it against the Jets but looking forward it may pose a problem against talented WRs. Tre can't cover all of them.

BigBuff423 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I never want to underestimate an opponent especially a Divisional one, but I will say that IF Norman has to miss a game in order to get to e 100% healthy, this is the game to do it. Bell is the biggest concern at this point on Offense with like two or three WRs out due to injury. So, let Norman rest up for the Dolphins, another divisional game away and hope he can get on track and not look back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vontae Davis, E.J. Gaines, Kevin Johnson, and now all Josh Norman. And he just continues to start when needed and play above average football for a lot less money. This here is a good post. I knew I wasn't the only one who feels like Levi can hold it down across from Tre. And not to get ahead of myself but last I checked, da Jets ain't lining up any world beaters at WR this weekend.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Why do people care about Norman? He has been terrible for the last few years. It's dubious he would have even beaten out Levi for the starting job. Norman would be asked to do less in Buffalo than he was in Washington. I'm not worried about Levi.

Uhhhhhhh, because he’s a cornerback on our team that was expected to, at the very least, play Kevin Johnson’s snaps from a year ago. He was horrible last season, on the worst team in the league. He wasn’t horrible the season before. Now with a change of scenery and return to the system in which he was all pro, the chances of him being better than Levi, was very good imo. Wallace is alright. He’s an average #2 corner imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
