Ray Lewis Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Hopefully Douglas will be back soon. I know that we are all hoping he will be back very soon. My linkHarry Douglas-WR- Falcons May. 25 - 2:03 pm et Harry Douglas (torn ACL) was held out of practice for the start of OTAs this week.Coach Mike Smith was tentatively expecting Douglas to return, so this is a minor disappointment. We'd like to see tangible evidence that Douglas is progressing because he has a shot to eat into Michael Jenkins snaps if healthy.Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jerious Norwood-RB- Falcons May. 25 - 2:01 pm et Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to practice Tuesday, as expected.Norwood, one of the most brittle running backs in the league, was held out of minicamp earlier this month due to lingering soreness in his hip. He'll have competition from Jason Snelling for change-of-pace duties this year.Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution William Moore-DB- Falcons May. 25 - 1:59 pm et Falcons S William Moore (pectorals) returned to practice for the start of this week's OTAs on Tuesday.Moore missed the majority of his rookie season with knee and hamstring injuries. The pectoral injury kept him out of minicamp earlier this month. If he's healthy this summer, Moore is expected to push Erik Coleman for the starting strong safety job.Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Just in case, I didnt see it in ATLJBO's rapid reports. But I am tired as **** from these long hours.Ray Lewis Edited May 25, 2010 by Ray Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho'Nuff Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Really didn't expect Moore to be in before Douglas....I want to see EVERYONE in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lystrodom Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Norwood, one of the most brittle running backs in the league, was held out of minicamp earlier this month due to lingering soreness in his hip. He'll have competition from Jason Snelling for change-of-pace duties this year.I'm not sure that bit about him being brittle is necessary for this article, but that doesn't really matter. Also, Jason Snelling doesn't have anything to do with change-of-pace duties. He's the same style of runner as Turner, but even a little bit slower. That's not changing the pace.Unless we use him as a receiving threat. Turner can't really catch it, from what I've seen, but Snelling can, which is a nice change.

Turner can't really catch it, from what I've seen, but Snelling can, which is a nice change.Turner was injured and should therefore be classified as brittle too.You are exactly right that Norwood's "change of pace" duties are notin trouble because Snelling and Turner pound the ball. There is no difference until Turner breaks into the clear and pulls away from thedefenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Man Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yea, for everyone complaining about the brittle comments, seriously, look at Hurtwood's games he's missed over his career. I love Jerious, as a player, but I think he needs to get it together to keep hold of his spot on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It's not that he's missed a large number of games, because he hasn't. Norwood's problem is that he is frequently banged up enough that he is of very limited use to the Falcons. People arguing that Norwood is not "brittle"...well....I just don't see how they could argue that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali_fan420 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Great pic. but it must be photo-shopped. We have a few posters on here that say Norwood isn't elusive. No, it's a real picture. The bad part is he twisted his ankle upon landing after the jump and missed two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Brandon Jacobs has missed more games in the past 3 seasons than Norwood has.Brandon Jacobs.And I never hear how brittle he is.1) Brandon Jacobs doesn't play for us2) has a SB ring3) can truck opponents and hurt them more times than they can hurt him.
