I read Beerows article today and I came away thinking there were only 2 players on that list of camp bodies that looked like future active roster players. Alex Boone T he looks the part now if he can just play the part. As undrafted free agents go he was a decent signing. Now the guy that really make you go humm, Jehuu Caulcrick I am not sure what to make of this guy. good size and power but the ability to break the big run, (not your typical FB) I for one have never been a big Norris fan because he is so one dimensional. I am very much looking forward to seeing both preform in camp and preseason this year.

That highlight of that FB looks bad ass. It would be nice if he could play and beat out Norris.

I like his style, Brandon Jacobs type back. But the only highlights I see on Youtube are from his 06 season
To the competition !

It'd be tough to beat out Norris. Frank's in his corner and Frank already gots a good feel for his blocking. But I've been thinking the same thing.

Its time they stop catering to Frank so much. I personally think Norris will be out or be a back up. Only time will tell.

Having a blocking specialist fullback is worse for the tailback because it tips the defense off and make a rb less effective in for the short and long term. Norris did have his play against the Ravens though but I guess sometimes it's better to be lucky than good?

Like i said earlier Norris is a blocker only and yes it is easy for the defense to get tipped off when he comes in. He struggled to get 1 or 2 yards in very short yardage plays. By the way Robinson can't run worth a crap either. I really hop this guy at least gets a look.

Norris is a better receiver than some of you think. At one time, he was a kick returner in the NFL. Unfortunately, we have yet to have an OC who can use everyones skills to the max.

That might be the worst call in the history of posts that I think I've seen on this forum.

I am not saying Norris is bad but 34 catches in 9 years is not alot. I mean the guy got his 1st rushing touchdown this year. 12 kick returns for a 9.2 average and a long of 19 doesn't really look to impressive either. My point is he really is on every team he has been on for on thing only blocking and special teams.

I would like to find a more complete FB to put on the field.
