9ersdude Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Kid looks of the hook to me, what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I am hoping sometime this fantasy year. I have him stashed away and Jamal looks horrible. But thats me being a fantasy pig. Dunn is still getting it done so no need for Norwood yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde assault Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Sooner than later would be ok with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerx Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Take over? take over what? Are you meaning how many seasons before he takes over, or how many games? If your talking the former, rather than the later, it's a ligit question. If your talking about the later, your insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Norwood won't start ahead of Dunn unless Warrick gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Dunn discussion with some Norwood sprinkled in a snipet from that thread: He can certainly chime in with his own answer, but being of the same mind-set, I would say it's more a gut feeling than statistical data to date. Norwood appears to have the talent to be an excellent back and my gut tells me a player with his ability will be on the field more and more as the season progresses. MY POV: fwiw I agree that norwood is the future in ATL but I dont know how much more he is gonna cut into Dunns stats then duckett did... duckett last yr had 121 carries in 14 games which was the equivalent of 8.6carries/game norwood so far has a 6.5carry/game avg. and if you look at that even closer you will see that 19 of his 26 carries came in 2 blow outs during mop up time...but in a game that ATL was getting blown out in he saw all of 1 carry and then in what was an easy win in zona he saw 6 carries(3 in their next to last series(the last series was QB kneel downs) when they were up 32-10, 2 of his other carries came when they were up 29-10) and his 78yard touchdown run was on the falcons 1st poss. of the 4th quarter(atl was up 22-10 at that point) so what I see is a team giving a rook carries to get him acclimated when there isnt anything on the line. Do I think his carries will mainly be garbage time carries this yr? NO i dont. Do I think he is gonna dramatically eat into Dunns carries this yr? NO I don't oh and fwiw, the fact that duckett is gone and atl doesnt have what you would call a GL back now could help Dunn(but I would expect vick to still steal some of those TDs) i do understand the view that some have I just wanted to expand upon why I dont think norwood is gonna be the "thief" that some think he will be and fwiw I do think the kid is a terrific talent and gonna be a major asset for ATL in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 and fwiw I do think the kid is a terrific talent and gonna be a major asset for ATL in the future Great research, kegz; I'd look for him to be given the chance to supplant Dunn NEXT year. This year, if he gets up near Duckett's ~9 carries/game, I'd say that's his ceiling with a healthy Dunn. But overall, I'd say kegz last statement nails it - great RB, solidly behind Dunn, back of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Isn't Norwood hurt a little right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood will not be the primary back this year nor, most likely, next year unless Dunn gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
