Notes, Quotes From Around NFC South

Filed under: , , , ,

If you have ever seen the Atlanta Falcons' Jerious Norwood get loose in space, it is quite a sight. He can scoot and he has moves uncommon for a 200-pound scat back.

The Falcons' next best running back, besides Turner, is Jason Snelling, a smart, two-way back who is going to get opportunities again this season.
