Jerious Norwood (1 Viewer)

[switz]

I know with Dunn recuperating, and Petrino liking Norwood, he's set to see an expanded role. But then I heard he has a stomach infection. Is it serious? I couldn't find nything in Google news. Any status from ATL insiders?

 

[packersfan]

Not a Falcons homer but I read yesterday the Falcons hoped he'd be able to practice today and play Monday night.

Also not a homer but I last read this

Tue Aug 21, 2007 --from FFMastermind.com

RB Warrick Dunn (back surgery) was expected to take light practice, but he ended taking a full load while recovering from back surgery. RB Jerious Norwood (stomach), who's out with a stomach injury, is set to return to practice on Thursday. Dunn will run with the first team and start against Cincinnati.

Yeah...I saw that, too. When did this become a stomach injury? I thought he had a stomach flu or something.

With Dunn on the mend Norwood is dropping down my list and Snelling is creeping onto the radar too.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

The reports I saw said STOMACH ILLNESS. Which is a far cry from an injury.

I agree but I believe I read this is an injury in more than one place.

Dunn's health has me more concerned than a stomach virus.

I have been high on Norwood based on his situation.. Dunn is breaking down and the expanded role talk is only helping him

I'm still in Norwood withdrawal after failing to land him in my draft. Three weeks sober!

They said illness at first, then said injury. However...he has been out pretty long for an illness.

Honestly, I think they dont want to run him anymore until it's "go" time. This might be an excuse to do just that.

Norwood woke up on the morning of the 14th with bad stomach cramps. He was wrongfully diagnosed and treated for dehydration and expected to be out for a day. On the fifteenth a nasty viral infection was diagnosed and doctors wanted him to shut it down for a week. Yesterday (a week later) Patrino said it's up the doctor to release him.

It's not an injury that will hamper him, but it sounds like he's been temporarily weakened.

Loved the guy 2 months ago,not so much lately and I own him in 3 leagues

The Falcons will be a FF waste...why even bother going there? I would (and already have in 2 leagues) take Kevin Jones before I took any out of Dunn or Norwood.

No Vick means Defenses will actually focus on Rbs instead of containing Vick

Joey Harrington means a lot of stalled drives/ints

New coach/new system for everyone

Neither Norwood nor Dunn are proven GL RBs and Snelling could very well be that

Why bother drafting any of these 2 RBs on a team in a RBBC quagmire and on a team that is going to be just bad offensively. Only player worth getting from the Falcons is Crumpler since Falcons will play from behind a lot and defenses will shut down the running game and force Joey to throw, and Joey threw a lot to Randy Mcmichael last year in Miami

probably better to have a guy who might not even play this year. The falcons won't revolve around one player anymore, so I think people should give Atlanta a little more respect than they are curretly receiving. THey have 2 good backs who will compliment eachother nicely between the 20s and Snelling could be the pounder.

What is the best way to limit Harrington getting sacked and throwing INT's? RUN the ball. Petrino's rep is as a HC that loves ball control and running the ball. The Falcons D isn't horrible. I don't like this situation in a redraft, but I like the long term outlook for Norwood and Snelling in dynasty leagues.

I don't think anyone's advocating grabbing Norwood as your RB1, but what's the downside to drafting him in the 6th or beyond to be your RB3+? You seriously think it's a smart move to not draft Norwood over the likes of a guy who probably won't play half the season and is a question mark beyond that (K. Jones) or any of the other RB's around his ADP with some SERIOUS question marks as well?

I would draft Kevin Jones all day long before Norwood.

The problem is that he's not there in the 6th. He's going in the mid 4th to early 5th range in the drafts I have been involved in.

For this year? Do you hate fantasy points?Seriously, though, why? If he sits a third of the season, then how is that helping your team?

He was there in the 6th in mine. But, I wouldn't (and obviously didn't) touch him the 4th or 5th.

I'd rather have his 10 weeks of non RBBC points than Norwood's 16 weeks of RBBC points. Norwood is WAY overvalued this year.

And, if Tatum Bell does well in the first 6 weeks, you think the job will just be handed to Jones when he comes back? That's terrible value to me, especially if you lose the 4 of your first 6 games.At what point does Norwood become good value to you? RB32? RB33? Never?

just because he appears to be overvalued, doesnt mean he is. and just because people think he cant carry 20X a game doesnt mean he cant either. From what i've seen, Norwood thrives off of being the underdog. Kevin Jones suffered a potentially career devastating injury. 10 weeks of him may be useless.

If KJ is healthy...as he is expected to be when he comes back, he will start. I am not concerned about Bell...he can't do many of the things KJ can. Norwood is in the mid 30's. But I have seen him getting drafter earlier than he should be. If you have to start a part time RB for any reason other than injury, you are in trouble anyways.

don't you think bell will have something to say about that?and i agree that norwood is overvalued this year.

I think a healthy KJ will play the majority of the time. He is a much better all around back than Bell, a better inside runner, better receiver, better at everything except he isn't as fast. Bell doesn't do anything better than Jones. Bell is too tentative hitting the hole.You can get KJ right now in rounds 8-10.
