Norfleet has moved to corner
Hoke said Dennis Norfleet has moved to the cornerback position, but he will still return punts and kicks.

after seeing all these people talk about Darren Sproles 2.0 because Brian had a boner for the kid. He did nothing to make me or any other reasonable person think he was like Darren Sproles, aside from being small and fast. He didn't take over the starting RB spot, hell,he didn't take over the second string RB spot. So who gives a shit if he moves to corner? It's not like we are moving a 1000 yard RB to CB. We are putting our kick returner in a position to see the field more frequently.

I think that's kind of the point. There's no need to "get a boner" for him so early. He might be just as good - or better - on defense as he was on offense.
I said this the other day in the original "Norfleet to safety?" front page post, but of the two third down backs on the roster (Hayes, Norfleet), Norfleet has more potential on defense and those two guys are in the same class. This could be a way of getting both guys on the field without one always blocking the other's playing time.

Can't believe most of you are questioning this move. Mattison's defense, which has been our saving grace now has yet another instrument. I believe he knows what he is doing. Sure Norf could be used on offense but do you really expect Borges to use Norfleet properly if at all? We can barely get people like Funchess on the field enough.

I like the speed and quickness. Something that has been missing.
Speed overcomes a lot of weaknesses.

I trust these coachs 100%, unless it's 4th and 2 at Ohio State on our side of the field.

i'm gonna take this to meant that the staff knows green is coming and with him and deveon rb depth is okay.
i'm also gonna take tihs as treadwell is coming too, and they need more people to cover him in practice.
certainly that's what this is about.
