Falcons Excited About RB Norwood
J. Michael Moore, AtlantaFalcons.com -

Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood showed more than a few flashes of brilliance as a rookie. And he's wasting little time showing what he can do as he heads into his sophomore season. "Jerious is a guy that you look at, you watch him on video and you say: 'Wow, this guy has a chance to really make some big plays for us,'" HC Bobby Petrino said. "He can accelerate and cut very quickly and he has home run speed. He's a very good receiver out of the backfield so we're looking forward to seeing how we utilize him catching the ball out of the backfield. He just needs to continually work on his blitz pickup and protecting the quarterback."

He just needs to continually work on his blitz pickup and protecting the quarterback.

Hmm.. the NFL is a rough place to learn this. Hopefully, he'll be able to handle the heat in the big leagues.

When I think of awesome all around RB that can pick up the blitz.. you have to think about W. Payton. His blocking was awesome.

Agreed but I think he will have a good year as long as Harrington can keep the D line having to worry about both pass and run.

Yes he should be ok - I seen another story this morning saying Dunn was going to have an awesome year ... I anticipate them being much better off without Vick!
