If Norwood ever becomes the featured back my only concern is his small frame. If you guys watched the GB/Den Monday night game last week Selvin Young is almost the same frame. And he looked very tiny on my 60'' TV. Everytime a linebacker landed on Young it looked like he was a fly flattened by a truck.Young is 6'' 210. Norwood is 5 11'' 204! Which makes him even smaller than Young. Have there been small successfull RBs in the history of NFL? I'm not talking about 1 or 2 year wonders. I'm talking career.

Warrick Dunn, Tiki, Westbrook, etc.

Don't forget June Henley.

Here we go again.

Jerious Norwood says that during the Falcons' Week 8 bye, the team implemented into the game plan more ways for him to get the ball.

It seems like we hear things along these lines every week, but this time it's coming directly from the player. Getting Norwood more action has been long overdue, but whether it really will happen remains to be seen."

Hey Falcon coaching staff: do you want to plan more ways to get Norwood the ball? I've got a good solution for you: make him the #### starter!

Was listening to NFL Sirius this morning, and they talked along the same lines as the above blurb. They didn't talk as if they thought the Falcons _should_ get Norwood inolved, but as if there was specific work done over the bye to _get_ him more involved.

Honestly, I don't know why this is so difficult. You're calling the plays. Call his number. What's the problem?

seriously, this has become a joke. How do you "try" to get somone involved week in and week out but it never happens? I am seriously beginning to wonder about the competency of one Bob Petrino.

or just maybe it's Norwood. Is it possible he's supposed to be in certain places and responsible for certain things and cannot handle it?

he can be the WORST blocking RB in the world, he still should be getting more touchesseriously, nobody can be worse than reggie bushpetrino needs to get his act together

It shouldn't even matter whether or not Norwood is up to speed as a blocker yet. For God's sake, use a max protect scheme and send both Norwood and Dunn out on quick patterns! It's not like the Falcons are loaded with top-flight receiving threats!

You wouldn't use Orlando Pace as a receiver... therefore, stop using your 5'6" running backs as offensive guards! Maybe the defense won't blitz every down if they have to stay honest.

I don't think this makes any sense. If you use a max protect scheme, you generally keep both backs and at least one tight end in to block and only send one or two wide receivers on pass patterns. If you send both backs out on quick patterns you aren't leaving anyone in to block and therefore are not using a max protect scheme.

If the Falcons want to win a game, they need to make some defensive changes as well. They need to get pressure on the QB with an all-out blitz. Then they can drop their linebackers and DBs into the cover 2.

Exactly! If the Falcons are not using all 14 men on offense OR defense, how can they expect to compete?!

Why does he need to block when his job is to carry the rock?

Might be a give-a-way if every time Jerious is on the field it is a run play.
