i think we are all forgetting that we just drafted a fullback, so that means "shoulder pad" Norris is outta here. our new offense will need fullbacks to be quicker and more athletic. Norris is just too stiff and too yoked to be versatile.

So am I! I'm praying Bruce Miller can take the job this year, as I can NOT take another year of Moran Norris.

Correction: We drafted a DE to convert him to FB. I expect that it will take him some time to learn the position.

It has been time to replace him ever since he originally signed, we need to replace "old stone hands" with someone who will at least draw some coverage if he runs a passing route.

I don't mind Morris in the running game, but we need a receiving threat at FB. Only way we can keep two is if the second FB is a big ST guy.

Norris needs to GTFO. His hands are embarassing, and he tends to get in Gore's way more than open up a path for him. We would also save around 2 mil by dumping that dead weight.

Yeah I believe so. He is a one trick pony and that trick is not as good as it used to be.
