Norv has accomplished plenty. He is a very respected offensive coach in the NFL. He game plans a game better than anyone.
Norv was credited for developing Troy Aikman. If you hear Troy talk he loves Norv and credits Norv for bring the Offensive system that developed in Dallas.

I'd take Norv or Zorn. Norv may not be HC material but he knows NFL offense. As long as you have a strong veteran team and a good defensive coordinator Norv isn't a bad HC.

Well the Sproles show is over. Great game. SD moves on with old Norvell.....

[djnemo65]

That was one of the best games I can remember. Holy Cow!!

Going by the Line,

I think I'll take the Vikings with -3.5 and I'll take Baltimore with 2.5

Baltimore is my Away team upset.

I'm talking more Head Coach

Did anyone see that first drive from the Fins? Not a single pass to a receiver and they went 60 yards and had second and goal from the 1 yard line before settling for a field goal. Why can't the Skins do that?

I don't even think they completed a pass to a tight end. I think it was just Cobbs (their 3rd RB).

Norv is a FANTASTIC OC. They just need to stop trying to turn him into a head coach.

IMO saying Norv is not a good HC is not accurate. People forget Norv is the last Redskins coach to take us (Redskins) to the second round of the playoffs in the last 15 YEARS.
Not Spurruer, not Gibbs, not Schottenhiemer...Norv Turner did it.

NOrv also was HC in the black hole Oakland Raiders for only two seasons, where nobody wins. Not even so called awesome Shanahan couldn't win there.
So it needs to be put into perspective.

Someone is forgetting the 2005 season.

Norv was pretty much a joke when he was here, at least for the three years I was around him. Maybe he's grown some cojones since joining the Chargers

I did forget about 2005. They beat Seahawks 20-10 in 1st round.

The Redskins under Norv were not as much of a joke as they were under Spurrier.

Damn Flacco looks good for a rookie.
Very impressive

[skinsfan69]

I think we need to go after Sproils. He's exactly what our offense needs. Someone explosive coming out of the back field. We may want to start a thread on this!

[Bushead]

I would like to see how many different players are there under Norv than when Marty Built that team. But none the less, having Philip, LT, Antonio Gates, and i'm sure several others, that's pretty easy to go into and have at least some success.

Ed Reed is UNBELIEVABLE!
