Jerious Norwood to take direct snaps

Offensively, it seems like the trend of the 2008 season in this copycat league. Jerious Norwood may take some direct snaps.

Running back Jerious Norwood noted how Miami’s Ronnie Brown accounted for five touchdowns while taking direct snaps in the shotgun formation last week against New England.

The Falcons have deployed a similar formation with Norwood at the controls.

“I got a chance to see a few clips,” Norwood said. “Ronnie Brown did a great job. He scored four touchdowns and he threw one. He had a good game that day.”

I expect more teams to use this formation going forward.
