It seems many fans, myself included, see the one or two bad plays and immediately cue the hate.
Last season Norwell was marred by injuries, iirc, this season we're piling on when maybe not necessary.

This season it seems the bigger issues have been the rookie at RT and Cam in spots.
Although Norwell definitely gets blown up a time or two every game, I'm willing to bet there aren't many perfect games from any OL guys.

Unfortunately, when you play OL and block well for 60 plays, but on 3 other plays you give up sacks, people are going to focus on the 3 bad plays and not the 60 good ones. Fair or not.

I think a lot of us could even live with giving up a sack or two. It's more the fashion in which he gives them up. Having a bad play here or there is one thing but when your completely dismantled once or twice a game, that's another. 

That being said, maybe the early part of the season will be his worst stretch and by season's end we'll be attributing it to lack of preseason reps.
