Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Just wandered by buffalobills.com and had a glance at the depth chart. Noticed that Josh Norman is listed ahead of Levi Wallace. Don't know when this switch-up occurred or if it was always that way save when on IR. Wallace played 98% of the snaps last week. Norman played 2 snaps - on Special Teams. Should Norman get the playing time ahead of Wallace? On the one hand: "Dance with the ones that Brought Ya". On the other hand: We do see Levi Wallace getting picked on every week. On the third hand: Our defensive scheme, as Collinsworth noted, depends upon everyone knowing their job and not making mistakes. Do you trust Josh Norman to know his job and not make mistakes? Can he actually keep up with WR and tackle? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCNC Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Would take my chances with Wallace. Derrick Henry agrees... 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 They're both garbage. Put Dane Jackson in. 14 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'd rather see Dane Jackson...he flashes out there...maybe he is still making too mamy mistakes that we are not privy too but I think he has made plays while he is out there at least. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I’m not sure which of the two I want starting tbh. Where the heck is Dane Jackson? Still on the PS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace can be trusted to play his 1/11. He may get beat and allow receptions, but he won't get meme'd. Just now, matter2003 said: I'd rather see Dane Jackson...he flashes out there...maybe he is still making too mamy mistakes that we are not privy too but I think he has made plays while he is out there at least. He did go out injured in the last game he played (Arizona). Since he's a practice squad player, the Bills aren't obliged to make an injury report - and they don't. He has been seen at practice, but we have no idea whether he's 100% or not. I agree that he's very promising, but it appears Sean McDermott is not yet willing to give up on the "Josh Norman Experiment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloMatt Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Wallace faster than Norman. Was a finger tip away from making plays. He's gonna have a big night tonite. Always does after he is roasted on Social Media*. Pride is the great motivator. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 My eyes tell me that Wallace >> Norman. Looks like Norman should transition to safety after this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to always be in good position and plays the ball well. He obviously is just a step slow— consistently. But that is better than Norman, who seems washed up and, in very few opportunities, has gotten just totally burned. Let’s hope Wallace can bounce back or up his play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Huff Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I trust their decision over any one of your opinions. That’s all I have to say about that 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman won't be with the Bills next year...at least not at that $6M. One of the Bills Podcast had the Bills mismanage the cap this year by keeping the following on the roster: * Trent Murphy - $8M towards the Cap * Tyler Kroft - $4.5 towards the Cap * Norman - 6M towards the cap If we had cut these three people. we would have been able to add that 20M to next years cap that will help you sign Milano, Williams, Feliciano. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 They likely never updated it. Zimmer is nowhere to be found on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Does Pitt run three WR sets majority? I assume they run three WR with Ju Ju, Diante and Chase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I trust McDermott with the secondary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they did change it up to add Jon Feliciano at LG and Jake Kumerow at WR and to remove John Brown to IR. So it does get some updates.

Pittsburgh runs majority 3 WR (1-1) set, 65% 2 WR, 2 TE (1-2) second most often, 16% After that even split between 2-2 (1 WR), 7% and 0-1 (4 WR) 8% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Willing to try anything at this point at CB2. Wallace is constantly targeted and isn't up for the challenge. Maybe rotation with Norman and Jackson can help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all I have to say about that Yeah......those of us that were calling for Murphy to be cut before the season to save a ton of cap space were completely wrong....... They definitely did the right thing by keeping him so they could make him inactive and chew up that much needed space for next year, Yeah......we never know better than they do...... Look. They have more information to go in than we do, but let's not pretend that we don't know what we're watching on the field. I'm not positive that we have a better option right now at 2nd CB, but this team is in desperate need of a CB that can really play across the field from White. If Wallace starts tonight, so be it. But, if he continues to struggle again, I want them to try Norman or Jackson. I'd have no problem throwing Jackson out there. He's done nothing but impress in the limited snaps he's had out there. We need to find someone that can hold up instead of getting picked on every time a ball is thrown. I mean, whoever plays across from White will see a lot of targets, but we need better than what Wallace has been giving us most of the year, Edited December 13, 2020 by sven233 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think against us Ebron and Dionte Johnson could be the most dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I will go with Norman just based of experience and leadership on the field. Skills wise they are about even IMO at this phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
