ASHBURN, Va. -- Its not a war of words Washington Redskins corner Josh Norman wants to get into with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Its a jersey swap.Not that itll happen. Two years ago, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin began prohibiting the teams players from engaging in them. But the overall point from Norman was simple. He has a healthy respect for two of the players hell face Monday night: quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and receiver Antonio Brown.Oh my gosh, Big Ben, another great one, Norman said. You look at the quarterbacks in this league, and Big Ben has been up there since hes been in the league. Hes one of the great ones. Ill walk up to him and be like, Hey, can I get your jersey?Thats how much respect Ive got for him. I dont ask for jerseys like that, until someone shows me they are great at what they do. Big Ben is that. Thats the utmost respect I have for a quarterback.Norman has been a focal point ever since he signed with Washington in the spring, following Carolinas decision to rescind the franchise tag it had placed on him. Part of it stems from his contract, worth $15 million a year, the highest for a corner. He has been in headlines for his matchup with?Odell Beckham Jr., based on what happened last year and because they play twice this season.Arizona corner Patrick Peterson poked fun at him on Twitter about a video from a Redskins practice that ended up on social media. But when it came to Roethlisberger and Brown, there was nothing but love from Norman. In fact, Norman can be a quiet player on the field, teammates say. Even Norman said he wouldnt trash talk with Brown, because he likes him.Watching him and what hes able to do is freakish, Norman said. When you look at the receivers in the NFL you dont have to stop nowhere other than Antonio Brown. It starts and ends with him. Thats going to be a tall task to take on, and I respect that. Im looking forward to what he brings, because that matchup is going to be a physical one and a fun one. I have nothing but respect for that guy.Monday will mark the first time Norman covers Brown in a game -- they didnt match up in a 2013 meeting -- but that respect extends as well to Roethlisberger, whom Norman called cerebral.He can make all the throws, Norman said. Shoot, his name speaks for itself: Big Ben. You cant take him down. Hes good with his feet. Thats the thing people dont realize and understand, that he can create things on the go, and he gets back there and he doesnt get flustered.Earlier in the day, Roethlisberger said he didnt want to get lulled into any sort of verbal exchange.If youre trying to do that, thats when the game kind of falls apart, and the defender gets you, he said in a conference call with the Washington media. Thats what they want. Ive been playing long enough not to fall into that trap, whether its a corner, whether its a linebacker or a trash-talker.But, Norman said, thats not what hes looking for Monday night, his first regular-season game in a Redskins uniform. For him, its not about reminding everyone what he can still do on the field.I dont have to do that, because Ive been doing that since day one, Norman said. Its just them. Its not trying to prove them wrong. Its trying to prove Im right in what I do and my approach. I dont care about the other white noise. Malik Sealy Jersey .
