“Let’s not get things mistaken over there. That’s No. 12. That’s pretty much Gandalf the White over there. That’s a wizard,” Norman said of the Packers quarterback, referring to The Lord of the Rings character. “That’s who he is to me.”
In an entertaining and energetic conference call Wednesday with Green Bay media, Norman stayed on the J.R.R. Tolkien theme and called New England’s Tom Brady Gandalf the Grey.
All kidding aside, Norman’s message was that the Redskins aren’t looking at the Packers’ struggles or Rodgers’ hot and cold spells as any indication of the opponent they’ll be facing Sunday night at FedEx Field.
