Curtis Taylor to IR | Page 2 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Get well Taylor. I'm excited to see Brit Miller Get a chance. he had a good preseason. I wonder if he'll get an opportunity to play FB? Norris hasn't exactly been on the highlight reel this season. Not saying its his fault we can't run. He may not even be a factor. Truth is Miller showed up in Preseason and Norris has not shown up at all this season. I also like Miller as a pass catcher. Of course I realize that he probably won't do anything other than punt and kick duty.

I hope he gets more of a chance than just ST duty.

I do not think for 1 minute that Brit Miller is being called up only for ST. That is part of it but....

M.Norris has kind of sucked this year and now that we are in the spread more he doesn't fit. Teams know when he comes in it's strickly to block Gore running between the tackles, we don't use him for anything else. Miller is more versatle and played pretty well in the PS hopefully we can disguise the run more now with a FB like Miller and have more options on offense.

I'm down with Miller he's a good young talent. Hopefully he can fully replace the waste of a roster spot moran norris.

Miller has a LB mentality playing FB...he also has much better hands than Norris. He could give Alex yet another option...especially under the tutelage of Rathman.

Probably done with the 49ers. He hasn't shown anything this year.
