Because what you said makes no sense. Unless you think that Norwood is as talented as Reggie Bush. Which, again, makes no sense.

If anything, I'd say Norwood looks slightly more explosive than Reggie. You have to give Reggie the huge edge in the passing game however...at least until the beginning of the seasonI posted that video in post #31 of this very thread.Good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwbA4c2vdvgOkay, so you're saying Norwood is as talented as Reggie Bush.

No. I've been talking up Norwood and making comparisons to Bush since last years draft. Every year somebody gets overhyped such as Bush and an equally talanted guy in this case Norwood (IMO) gets overlooked. My original post was stated for that reason. If a person wouldn't trade Bush they sure as hell shouldn't trade Norwood. He has every chance to be as explosive as Bush if given the opprotunity(IMO). In fact last year with the exception of touchdowns he out played Bush as a runner. Now receiving was a different story but it was not because he is not capable it is because he was playing with two other running backs Dunn and Vick. Put Norwood with Brees and Bush with Vick and I believe the receiving side would be a helluva lot different.I posted that video in post #31 of this very thread.Good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwbA4c2vdvgOkay, so you're saying Norwood is as talented as Reggie Bush.

Looks like Norwood's value survived the draft. Michael Bush was the main guy I was worried about, and he's now in Oakland.
Glad I didn't accept the relatively low-ball offers for him.

Sell high is not over by any means. There's another draft next year, and another one the year after that, and the year after that.
I like Norwood as a player, but he doesn't look like a 250+ carry guy to me. I'd move him if I didn't need him and I could get a good WR, QB, TE, or pick for him.

I agree to an extent, but now if you trade Norwood you can do it from a position of strength. Prior to this draft, I think it could have been perceived as a quasi-panic move. In fact, considering the lowball offers I got in at least 2 leagues, I'm quite certain that's what those owners thought.

I brought into him... 6.2 YPC for 99 carries is hard to ignore

Damn the highlights for the last minute of that clip were Reggie BushesqueHe is no Bush, but he sure confused me for a secondGood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwbA4c2vdvgOkay, so you're saying Norwood is as talented as Reggie Bush.

BTW MJD is probably gonna be the best back from the 06 draft 5 years from now, just my opinion

I think his cuts are just as good as Bush. Norwood is definately faster, and watching every play Norwood made this year & a lot of Bush plays I think Norwood is more explosive. Norwood isn't as good receiving albeit he didn't have many chances catching the ball. Norwood looked like Reggie Bush at USC almost every time he touched the ball & this is the NFL. Bush had his moments but didn't look anything like he did at USC, losing a lot of yards a lot of time (in the running game). I wonder what Norwood could do given a lot more touches. His durability could be a concern but his talent is off the charts.Damn the highlights for the last minute of that clip were Reggie BushesqueHe is no Bush, but he sure confused me for a secondGood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwbA4c2vdvgOkay, so you're saying Norwood is as talented as Reggie Bush.

Isn't Norwood smaller than Smith? Isn't it thought that Norwood isn't big enough to be an every down back, can't take the punishment?

The reason IMO that Norwood had better running ststs than Bush, is because teams were keying in on Bush whenever he was on the field, not so with Norwood. Norwood also had a lot of garbage time carries.

They're close. Robert Smith was 6'2", 210 lbs. Jerious Norwood is 5'11", 205 lbs. So Norwood is actually a little more compact which I think actually helps him in terms of taking hits.

I recall the term "chicken legs", as in make a wish last year before the season. Has that been overlooked this year based on the explosiveness that he displayed in limited action last year behind Dunn? I also thought that the new Atlanta power scheme did not match up well with Norwood. Is he being upgraded now due to the Falcons not grabbing a power back?

Smith wasn't much of a cutter and didn't have this kind of moves, IMO.

I've been driving the band wagon for this guy since last July. (As has Chaos Commish): Link
In his limited chances, he was mucho impressive last year. I think you've got stand pat with this guy. Sure, its possible he might not be able to handle the load, could break down, go the Tatum Bell route. But I think its just as possible, that if he gets the majority of the carries, he could be a top 5 RB. Especially in leagues that award bonuses for long scores.
My two cents.

He is saying much like Bush he doesn't need more than 15 toucvhes a game. His runs are when the d is worn down, expecting a pass. And he is a home run hitter, can take it to the house on any play (a la reggie bush)./ Frankly I wouldn't be suprised if this guy outscores, or scores very close to what Dunn does, as hje did all alst year. And there could easily be games where he has 10 carries for 130 TD, 3 catches 67 TD. There is no need to trade the guy unless you get something like a big bruising powerback a la Cadillac (not like that will happen)

Yeah I wish my league awarded the same points for garbage time carries.
The Zone blocking scheme was a good fit for Norwoods Skills. They are changing to a Bull Rush big man type scheme, in english it means they will push people out of the way rather than use a semi chop block. Zone blocking can be very dangerous for the Defenders but can also cause some injuries on the o-line if not done right. Denver ran one of the best zone blocking lines for years. The 49rs sent a few players to early retirnment in the 80's useing the same system. When you do it right the only thing you need your RB to do is make one cut and run. A small shifty speed back can be very succesful in that system. Conversly the more traditional blocking, one which Bobby likes to use requires the RB to find the smallest of gaps and power through for 3,4,5 yards at a shot, with the potential to gain more if the RB can break tackles at the second level. On draw plays the Big guys fall back and simply redirect the rush and let the RB slide along their backside's, this requires the RB to squeez between two 350 pound "o" line men and that takes somone with a little bit of power in the lower body.Should they completely employ the traditional blocking method, Norwood will come in on third downs, somtimes on passing downs, or somtimes line up in the slot.Yeah I wish my league awarded the same points for garbage time carries.

Atl only took 1 lineman today.. so how or why are they going to install this new system when the orginal system was very good..
The running game was not the problem.. it the poor QB play..
anyways.. If Norwood was in this draft.. got too think he would of been ranked higher than Lynch..

I know a former RB that was 5'9" and 203 lbs. that ran in a non-zone blocking scheme and was pretty good at it. He did take a lot of carries for loss but also broke a lot of runs that should have gone nowhere. His name was Barry. Curtis Martin was a bit bigger at 207 but he also ran behind a traditional blocking scheme to great effect. If Norwood can take the pounding, I like the kid a lot. Big if but Dunn has taken it for years and only weighs in around 185. And Tiki Barber wasn't much bigger (195). Some relatively small backs have had great careers. As for his pass catching abilities - I don't think we will ever know how good he is until Vick is out of town. I mean we KNOW that Dunn is good in the passing game but look at his numbers in Tampa compared to Atlanta. Vick just would rather run than dump off to a RB it seems.
I'm not so sure about this. Marshawn Lynch is a special talent. I think coming out of college he would have been ranked much higher than Jerrious Norwood.
