Finally Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 We all know we can't do a repeat of last year. We are a power running team with one healthy rb. I would expect a move if Turner is not healthy enough to play next week. I'd hate to say goodbye to Norwood but I'd hate to be out of the playoffs again this year more.

WVUDirtyBird Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I read that Turner was alright to go back in the game, but they held him back because it was a blow out and Snelling was playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashbrown3 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah, I noticed the ticker tape at the bottom of the tv screen showing scores on one of the nfl or espn stations. It said something about coach smith stating that he would be ok to start next week against NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidious Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If we put Norwood on the PUP list, does that free up a roster spot for 6 weeks?In Jim Mora's voice "PUP list? PUP list? You mean IR. ****, I just want to see him play a whole game!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If we put Norwood on the PUP list, does that free up a roster spot for 6 weeks?I'm not sure I'm correct on this but I believe you can't put someone on the PUP list After yhe seasonhas started. Only before game 1He would have to be placed on IR. gone for the year (IF he is hurt that bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacksburgHokie Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If we put Norwood on the PUP list, does that free up a roster spot for 6 weeks?Can't place him on PUP - deadline is well past for that. Our only options are either to put him on the inactive list week to week, put him on IR or release him.Either way, he is guaranteed his salary for this season because he was on the roster in week 1 and is a vested veteran.

Only before game 1He would have to be placed on IR. gone for the year (IF he is hurt that bad)A player basically has to fail his physical at the start of the preseason to be eligible for the PUP. If they fail their physical they are put on the Active-PUP list, which allows them to be with the team and rehab, but prohibits them from practicing. A player can be activated off this list at any time, and counts against preseason roster limits while on the list.Once the season starts, the team has to either activate the player or place them on the Reserve-PUP list. If he gets placed on the Reserve-PUP list, he automatically misses 6 weeks of the season but no longer counts against the roster limit. Only players who were on the Active-PUP list are eligible for the Reserve-PUP list.This is what screwed the Bengals with Antonio Bryant - they passed him on his physical and let him practice the first day, but it was clear that he wasn't anywhere close to being ready. PUP would have been an ideal place for him to rehab, but he was ineligible and the Bengals couldn't afford to hold a place on the roster for him and cut him.

ATL Fan in the DMV Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think Norwood's repeated injuries have decided Norwood's fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I MUS WRITE Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Norwood hurt his knee,which is never good he might not play again this year....Got Dam It. I guess we get to see Antoine Smith at some point :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashbrown3 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ya know, I still haven't seen much of this kid but they let Nance go for some reason. I thoght Nance made the better reads and runs but the coaches saw something. We need a scat back that you dont need to hold your breath for every time you call thier number. Stranger things have happened where a guy comes out of nowhere to shine in nfl games. Maybe this kid will make our staff look like genius's.
