37Ice Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 how, how does Norwood not get more carries, its madeningIm tired of the statement that Norwood is not an every down back, when has he every got 20 carries in a game???? how do we know for sure, he did it in college,I think Dunn and Norwood should switch roles, Dunn should be the KRits down right crazy, Norwood 2nd in YPC, almost 500 yds with less than 80 carriesso if he had 160 carries ... he would have 1000 yards, why hasnt the coaching staff been questioned on this time and time again..... why arent they being held over the fire for this, ????anyonehave any answers???

thesouphead Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 it's becasue Norwood can't pass block..........but don't ask anybody when Norwood's blocking has actually been an issue in a game....just know that it's because he can't pass block....in speculation theory.

Falcons Ace Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Not to disagree with you, but Dunn in now way should be a KR man. He doesn't have the speed for that. I also disagree with your logic on Norwood's YPC. He often gets less than 10 carries a game, often later in the game as well. He is rushing against wore our defenses, while being completely fresh off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formul8or Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I know last year Norwood came in during the 4th quarter on worn out defenses, but this year he seems to be in early on when he breaks big runs.It is time to see what he has.

BlacksburgHokie Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Who would you guess is the number one back in the NFL in rushing average?LT?Peterson?Jackson?Johnson?Bush?Actually, it's Artose Pinner. He has 46 yards on 5 attempts for a 9.2 average YPC.Norwood ranks a distant fourth with 6.5 YPC.Dunn and Snelling are tied at 97th with 3.2 YPC.Pinner>Norwood>Dunn=SnellingRight? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Artose P. has been stuffed prior to the lineof scrimmage on every short yardage playthat mattered. I am not saying it is his faultany more than Dunn or Norwood because noback who gets the ball and gets hit around hisankles at the same time is going anywhere. NotBrandon Jacobs or anybody. Artose had a big runand I think it was in garbage time. He made itand it counts. Question: Does anybody knowif Minnesota's Adrian Peterson can block?

In a normal rushing formation and on a normal run play, here are Pinner's stats: 4 rushes, -3 yards = -0.75 yards per rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Artose had to gain two yards to get back to the line of scrimmage and he didn't make it. He is apretty decent back just needs some blocks. Youcould say Norwood is just getting lucky but I don'tthink so. Nobody has the number of long runs hedoes on so few carries.

formul8or Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Does Norwood have a 20 yard run in every game? If not he sure has some close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboyisback Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 This is Petrino's subtle way of tanking. That's why he hasn't started Redman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudeness Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I wouldn't trust Dunn at KR. Perhaps the position of waterboy would be more appropriate for him at this point.I don't think Peterson needs to block for himself and I did see Norwood throw some pretty good passblocks in this most recent game (he hasn't been in the game long enough to passblock for a while now).

Falcons Ace Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, I am sure Redman has been this beast in training camp this whole time. I mean, it was obvious that he was a world class QB when we saw him tear up in pre-season. Oh wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood32 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 It bothers me enough that Norwood isn't getting a lot of carries but what pisses me off even more is how Petrino says that Norwood will get more carries every week but yet he DOESN'T!!

southga08 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I have actually been watching Norwood pass block these past few games and I haven't seen him miss a block.I don't care if he gives up a sack a game if he averages 6.7 yards a carry.Just like I don't care if Dunn doesn't allow a sack all year if he averages 3.2 yards a carry.

LADBABY Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 southga08 (12/4/2007)I have actually been watching Norwood pass block these past few games and I haven't seen him miss a block.I don't care if he gives upa sack a game if he averages6.7 yards a carry.Just like I don't care if Dunn doesn't allow a sack all year if he averages 3.2 yards a carry.He is a good blocker and a great breakaway runner. One of thevery best I have seen. Since the coach is not smart enough to use him even though he says he is going to every week,people started seeking some flaw and settled in on the ideathat he must not be good at something. We have ourselvesa special talent and Petrino gave him a red shirt this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Storms Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 A running back can be very flashy and pick up some big yards, but he's not helping us any more than Dunn if he kills a drive giving up a sack. Seeing as how Koenen has yet to get the directional punting down and will just knock every punt into the endzone, and Anderson has a limited range, an exciting run doesn't help us if we end a drive on 4th and 18 because Norwood gives up a sack. And anyone that wants to say that he's not a liability in pass protection, watch the Giants game, which is pretty much the only game that he was given a lot of time in pass protection rather than Dunn.
