Though Josh Norman was a well-respected player during his time with the Washington Football Team, it’s safe to say that many fans were fine with him leaving in free agency this past offseason, as they’d gotten a bit fed up with his play on the field.
While he was one of the best cornerbacks in the league early on in his tenure in Washington, he eventually was benched during the end of the 2019 season after his play significantly dropped. Now he is a member of the Buffalo Bills, and the veteran is looking forward to a fresh start to his career on a new team.
As far as his time in Washington, though? That’s not something that’s worth talking much about, Norman says.
“I don’t stick on what went wrong,” Norman said on his media Zoom call Thursday. “I look at the positives. When everybody is trying to look at the negatives, they’re just harking on that and they think they know who you are just because of that. At the end of the day, I take a lot of bullets and I don’t come out and shoot them back. What for? It’s not needed.”
It would be easy for Norman to shoot those bullets back at the former coaching staff in Washington, and he would be fairly justified in doing so. Fans sure haven’t shied away from letting him know of his blame in all of the disappointments that took place in Washington during Norman’s time.
Norman took the high road though, and that’s a great thing to do. What good does it do to revisit things that can’t be changed at this point anyway?
