He caught a few balls. That's enough for me to let Norris go. Yes, self profess Norris hater.

Miller has done more than Norris has. He has done the same kind of blocks, but has the speed to get to the second level. He then can actually catch the ball very well and then lays guys out as he's going up the field. I love Bruce, hope he stays the starter.

Just a move on Harbaughs part so he doesnt look like he's kicking an injured vet to the curb. He'll get him another shot for the job in practice but I fully expect Miller to keep the FB job

It is an ideal situation. As much grief as Norris has gotten on this site he is still a guy that has played the position at a high level for years in this league. He is being challenged by a rookie and will bring everything he has to practice. Iron sharpening iron. The best player will play. Miller has shown that he has the physical tools to play the position; all he needs is experience. Going against Norris in practice will only make him better.

maybe Norris will step it up, seeing how replaceable he has become. Not likely that he has enough left to be a major contributor like he once was, though.
I imagine that Miller will continue to get the snaps he's getting, and that Norris will have a role in short yardage situations, or one of the "jumbo" formations. I doubt we release him.

i've figured it out guys. We're going to hang on to Norris until after tomorrow when we check out TO. Once we decide to sign TO, BOOM, we knock off Norris.

Miller...adds way more versatility to the position and Harbaugh loves the element of surprise. With Norris in, no doubt we are running.
