Re: Josh Norman CB is a Redskin
Yeah, valuable perspective, thank you.
There's a tendency for some to say 'well if the Panthers only wanted to pay $11M why should we pay $15M'? This post gets to simple differences in philosophy and fit. It's not that Norman isn't elite, the Panthers simply prefer to put their resources into the front seven. Can't say that's a bad move, that's how the Giants won two Super Bowls. McLoughan wants to ramp up the pressure on the passer too, but he clearly believes in ball hawking secondaries, being involved with Seattle's Legion of Boom. It's OK to do things differently from other teams. Just because Carolina didn't pay him $15M doesn't mean he isn't worth it to us. I'm excited to see how Galette and Norman impact the defense in tandem. Some serious intensity, ferocity and swagger with those guys. It will be welcome.

Re: Josh Norman CB is a Redskin
I cling to my belief that the better defenses have Pro Bowl caliber stars at each level. Now we have Josh. Can Galette be that good this season? Possibly. If so, then we're a star Interior DL and, possibly, a star ILB away from having the anchors at each level to make us a great defense. As I said, it's just my own belief based on many years as an NFL observer and fan.
