Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
As far as working with Phillip Rivers, I think you need to give him more than four weeks to make big strides. I think their offense is a bit down, but their defense is the big problem. They are getting torched.

Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
Rivers is still a young QB and Marty ball really kept him handcuffed for the most part last year, and probably wisely so.
I think the Chargers will get on track eventually but it better be soon for their sake. |

Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
It seems like a lot of the younger QBs are coming back down to earth this year. Rivers, Alex Smith, Leinart...

Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
So now the question is, where does Marty coach next?

Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
You're right....not a good fit at all. Hell if the Chargers continue to suck, maybe they'll fire Norv and bring him back!!!

Re: Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?
norv was the correct replacement for wade phillips, not marty Schottenheimer. With all those talented guys they need a disciplinarian, Marty was that.....just wait until merriman beats some guy to death in a bar after a loss

While he did have Banks, we got a (at the time) Redskins record 1432 yards out of Stephen Davis. In fact, the team is similar to what we have now. A strong D, and a Weak O. Strong running game, and a weak passing game. Schottenhiemer had no real talent on offense (minus Davis), while Gibbs has a ton of talent he isn't taking advantage of. I fully think Schottenhiemer did a great job with what he had, problem was, Bruce Smith and more importantly, Darryl Green hated him. Green is an icon to us. He can do no wrong and when he came out publicly and said he doesn't like the way schott. was doing things, something totally uncharacteristic of Green...that sealed Marty's fate. Also, losing 5 out of the gate hurt, but then he won 5 straight, that helped. But then he lost 3 of 4 and the Skins were not in the playoff picture anymore hurt a little too. But mainly it was the players that did him in...and more importantly, Marty's wierd rules and inability to be flexible that killed him here. The SKins were smart to cut him loose, just as the Giants would be smart to cut Coughlin loose.

I would be happier if Norv was screwing things up in little D. However, after this season jason garrett will be a head coach somewhere in the NFL and dallas will be back to square one. |
