Chasing Clouds Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Got 2 games of Bill Norton snaps against common opponents Texas faced last season, it's really easy to notice what his strengths and weaknesses are. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Joe Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 If Washington would’ve actually handed the ball to the RB on those play-action fakes, Norton would’ve been the player of the game. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Definitely could learn to use his hands better instead of playing tiddy bump like my old offensive line coach used to say but that’s why Kenny Baker is here now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgvhorn80 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Maybe the new DL coach can turn him into 1st or 2nd rounder. Then maybe we can get some top end DL recruits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THookem Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 OU rushed the ball for 200+ yards vs Zona if memory serves me correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Jackson Arnold, as a player, reminds me of Sam Ehlinger so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, half of that was in the 2nd quarter mostly from Sawchuk. Arizona had issues setting and containing the edge that allowed Sawchuk to bounce outside to break off bigger runs, and Jackson Arnold also had some of the bigger chunk runs along with him. Here's how our 2 transfers fared against the run, not including Arnold's runs for this. When Savea was on the field, OU ran for 62 yards which was from that 1 big play. (ball didn't go in his direction, so not much he could do there) When Norton was in, they ran for 33 yards When Norton and Savea were on the field together, OU ran for 28 yards When neither were on the field, OU ran for 40 yards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Thanks for the highlights. Norton was listed at 6-6 300 so he is a tall guy with sufficient size. His fundamentals and techniques can still be improved upon. Hope he has continued to physically develop his lower body this off-season. Norton should be playing lower and more explosive with more lower body development. While Norton didn't get any sacks, Norton used his length to affect the passing lanes and tipped 3 passes last season. I like to see that Norton caused 2 FFs. Last season was his most disruptive season. Glad we have his length and another experienced IDL player (Jr yr - 32 TKLS, 2.5 TFL, 0 SACKS, 3 PD, and 2 FF, Career 45 TKLS, 6 TFL, 0 SACKS, 3 PD, and 2 FF). Hoping he develops this season under Baker. 6-4 293 Tiaoalii Savea is another helpful IDL addition (Career 36 TKLS, 7.5 TFL, 1.5 SACKS, 1 PD, and 0 FF). The IDL transfer I find most intriguing and potentially important is 6-2 305 Jermayne Lole. He was impressive before his serious injuries (Soph yr - 72 TKLS, 10 TFL and 6.5 SACKS; Career 142 TKLS, 25 TFL, 12.5 SACKS, 10 PD, and 3 FF ). Lole is active, quick for a big and disruptive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
