As you know, I'm a big fan of people reaching or overshooting their potential. It has been quite enjoyable to watch Norv develop these last two weeks. Norv is not charismatic ok! He does not lead in a "Man-ish" sort of way. He is more like the squeaky and clever old grandma that is always getting good deals. It can be annoying but you still have to respect her because she was always right. Norv is like that in terms of leadership style. Somehow, he survived just long enough for his intelligence to display its benefits. I think it's due to the wildfires and various other team bonding turmoils. Those experiences gave the team time to buy into what was being presented to them. The sleeper has awakened. Norv's warrior-inside has emerged.
AJ Smith deserved the extension he just received. He has done a greatjob. He had to weather the storm also. Martyball is dead. Cromartie is the X factor. If he can cover Moss on the deep stuff 1 on 1 they can win. He is probably fast enough to keep up with him. He might be like Aeneus was on Irvin. He used to jam Mike up.
Don't sleep on Weddle. He may be a good match up for Welker. He is just as smart. He is going to be solid.
