Norman's wheels are gone, that was what kept Darrell Green's in top form for so long, he had those incredible wheels. To this day, the player that I would have loved to seen in a Cowboys uni. The Skins had some muttonheads over the years but he was one of the class guys of the game.

The same thing has happened to Sherman, he and Norman do not have that closing speed like they used to have.

If they only had a QB Skins could be good.
They're not a bad team and they made a good coaching hire and Snyder seems to be learning, after all these years. Classic case of a fan buying the team.

On a side note, This is the updated chart? :laugh:

I wonder what the old one looked like?

TRex 40: 15.0

Raptor 40: 10.0

TriceTTop 40: 20.5

Brontosaurus 40: 25.5

.................

Cheetah 70 MPH, so not counting acceleration time, the 40 time would be 1.176
Actually Velociraptor no bigger than a poodle could only run 25 MPH.

However this robot Velociraptor could run supposedly as fast as a Cheetah. Which goes 70 MPH.

I think this guy is done. His ego is bigger than his talent at this point in his career. A lot of headache for a below average corner.

Neither were fast to begin with, but excelled at being "zone corners" using intelligence more than speed.
Josh, like many before him, fell for the "It couldn't be that bad" and took the big WASH $. Then, it was that bad and you could see his passion was gone after a year.

No thanks. But if we do then bring back Dez. Would be fun watching those 2 practice against each other.

Here come some people with “we should sign Norman for cheaper than Byron would be”

It’s been the theme on this board since the season ended sign cheaper, declining, less talented players. Look at all the scrubs and aging QBs that have been mentioned to replace Dak. Any player who’s being released or will be allowed to walk due to age and declining skills who will be cheaper than a younger more talented player we have catches the interest of fans here.

I have to wonder what it must be like to have been a really good player and then father time sets in.

But this guy has plenty of ego since the talent ran out. I bet that grinds his gears.

If I'm going scrub-a-dub-dub on corners that used to be good?

I'd give Aquib Talib a call. I'm betting he still wants to play.
