crankdatfalcon Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 well obviously u dont know much..hes getting the correct amount of carries and being used how he should be used. why give norwood the bulk of the carries along with him being the kick returner and playing kickoff defense??

falconwannabe Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I say stay with the hot hand... they both are great backs and Norwood did get 14 carries which is more that I think he has ever gotten in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLICK NICK Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just swing passes, like Bush got on Tampa would be fine with me, he only had like five or so rushing attempts less than Turner. But if Ryan can hit him on quick swing routes, he will get outrages passing yards for his stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Norwood is too injury prone to be able to withstand a season of 20+ carries a game. Michael Turner is the bruising, grinding back who will get you 4-5 yards a carry (or 10) and Norwood is the guy who you bring in to hit a homerun.Turner is like the #3 hitter in baseball, able to hit for average and power, and Norwood is like the clean-up guy. Mostly just expected to hit homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzummo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Norwood had 18 touches. Turner had 23 touches. That seems like a good split to me. I don't want us over-utilizing either one. Keep them both fresh throughout the entire season. We need them both to contribute, so it's best if we can continue to keep them pretty even in terms of number of touches per game.

ChargersFanSince92 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 220 yards and 10 YPC isn't enough? Exactly i would go with turner and im not just saying that because turner use to play for SD i think turner is a way better back then norwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishfalcon Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Norwood is also one of my favorite players, and i actully think his game against the Lions was his best game to date. Although he didn't break for a huge gain, he was constantly dangerous. The past 2 years we have heard that Norwood will get increased playing time, and line him up in different positions, but we didn't see any of it at gameday, i love the fact that Smith and Mularkey already are utilizing him in those different positions. Btw, what's up with his TD dance? That was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookyhere Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The reason Norwood had the best game of his career is b/c Mike Turner pounded and gained BIG yardage on his runs..if Norwood and Turner's roles were reversed Turner would have still pounded for big yardage but i think Norwood wouldnt have had such a good game...imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinski Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 What's the problem with Turner?As long as he keeps producing like that there is absolutely no need give Norwood more carries. Of course, if things might not go the way we want it to be with Turner, Norwood is a great #2 option as well as Snelling, but things went very well versus the Lions so I think we should just stick with him for the time being.
