We definately need to get him MORE involved in the offense. We could be like Byner/Mack or Jacobs/ward and have two 1000yd rushers in the same season. That would really open up our pass game quite a bit! Norwood is an underutilized talent! We definately need to get him MORE involved in the offense.

Except what you were running last year (and probably 10 years ago too) was a direct snap to the RB/WR, with a simple zone read-option if Turner was in the backfield with him - not a true "Wildcat" like the Dolphins were running. The Miami version had several distinct features that set it apart: 1) Unbalanced line with LT Jake Long lining up outside RT, 2) TE/H-back to the right, behind the two right tackles, 3) second RB (Ricky Williams) split out to the left slot, coming in motion pre-snap, and getting to the first RB (Ronnie Brown) precisely when the snap arrives, and 4) the LG usually pulling to the right. But really, the main reason I'm feeling queazy is because I think Norwood can be so much more - he doesn't have to be pigeon-holed into some special packages to "trick" defenses. He's a great Running Back - let him run more from the standard offensive set!! I think I’m gonna puke – don’t hurt your arm patting yourself on the back, Mularkey.

The man is amazing back there, it doesn't matter why he's there. @teeg

It is largely a function of how often our defense allows the opponent to score. He needs to get the ball more often on offense, perhaps more of him and Turner on the field at the same time.
