Norman blasts Lewan: Sideline scuffle was 'the ultimate disrespect'

It's safe to say Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman isn't pleased with Taylor Lewan after the two engaged in a sideline scuffle following Saturday's matchup between their teams.

Norman addressed the incident Wednesday and pulled no punches concerning the Tennessee Titans offensive tackle.

"For a relevant player, it's kind of crazy - if you are that relevant," Norman told reporters, including ESPN's John Keim. "Why would you come to another man's sideline? And then after you won a game, you pick fun at the player that is relevant. You go out your way to come to his bench, his sideline, to go at him in that kind of way.

"We're not having it. We will not tolerate disrespect. That's zero tolerance for that. That was the ultimate disrespect. You just don't do that."

Following the incident, Lewan said he took exception to Norman's actions during the game, claiming the latter tried to injure Titans running back Derrick Henry. But Norman seemed to think the offensive tackle should have been more focused on his primary task.

"Oh, you was coming for your running back? You should have made the same excuse for your quarterback because you sure didn't do a good job blocking for him," Norman said. "We got young tackles and young ends and they ran through your face. That's what he should have been worried about, his quarterback walking off the field something wrong with (his) arm. He decided to pick on a cornerback who had nothing to do with him. I don't understand that, but that's the guy he is."

The 6-foot, 200-pound Norman obviously had little issue engaging Lewan, who's listed at 6-foot-7 and 309 lbs.

"You come up to someone on the sideline like that, I don't care how big you are, you could be a giant," he continued. "You step into that domain, it's kill or be killed. That's how I see it. I see nothing more than that."

Norman, who didn't address the media following the scuffle, said he was escorted out of the stadium by Redskins officials with a hoodie pulled down over his face following his team's 25-16 loss.
