Jerious Norwood vs. Jerome Harrison (1 Viewer)

[Acrobat7]

Who's likely to get more touches, now that they've both climbed to 2nd on the depth chart?

Neither Dunn nor Droughns are the perfect 3-down-back, but will the rookies complement them? ATL is at Carolina and Cleveland is at home against the Saints.

Will they both get 5 - 10 touches?

you gotta go with Norwood

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Which starter is more likely to break down, and which O-Line is better?

I think the clear choice is Norwood.

Depends on health.

Norwood won't get too many this year. There is really no reason to think Norwood is going to get those carries that Duckett is leaving; Norwood is not a COP or goalline back for Dunn. If there is an injury or complete collapse, Norwood would take Dunn's role. Thats the only way he will be getting serious PT. The upside is that Dunn is getting old, has some serious milage and is old so we could be seeing this sooner than later.

Harrison will likely be a 3rd down / COP back THIS YEAR. He will also fill Droughns' role when something happens. Problem is, Droughns doesn't have an injury history, and has little milage on him. We might have to wait another 2 seasons before we see some serious PT for Harrison.

Both have opp through injuries. I think that Harrison still gets duties despite that this year. However, Norwood IMO will be getting a start before Harrison gets his first start.

your points are valid, however, i was wondering about their respective week1 match-up and how many touches they'll likely have and not the whole season.

nonetheless, thank you!

dunn doesnt really break down a whole lot though and if you watch him he blocks pretty damn good

he really is an awesome player for being like 185

ahh for week one i think harrison will steal more touches but i also think droughns gets more touches than dunn-simply because carolina should be winning and will keep dunn in for pass protection
