21-17 Carolina. Bryce throws 2 TDs (one is a dump off to Sanders) and has 250 passing yards. Burns pressures Ridder into a game ending INT late in the 4th.

No big deal. To your point he did disappear in that last Tampa game where the division was on the line.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401437793 He got credited with a sack and 2 TFLs in the 21-3 game he is mentioning.

Burns is about to be public enemy number 1 by the Huddle when he signs his new contract. Every play that isn’t a sack will lead to anger.

This would be a reason not to wait to extend players. Last year’s Crosby deal looks great.

Chubb looks like a steal now…

You didn't like the Young trade/pick? Mingo? Icky?

They are just playing the cards they are allowed to play much like a team franchise tagging a player vs extending him.

I think Burns is playing Sunday new contract or not.

Not a fan of Dabo so I find this hilarious.

Damn good point.

QB is taking some nasty hits…

I hope he genuinely thought he had the first down.

Man if you are wanting a free hit on the QB, that’s the time to get one.

Oh lol it was after the play.

Dumb penalty

Clemson QB is going to get himself hurt.

Do you think we are trying to trade for him? I mean we don’t have many picks as it sits. Where is my source @TheSpecialJuan?!

Damn it. We still need a NT badly.

Duke has such a small stadium. The cameraman is trying to make it look larger.

Yeah I was thinking 26-27 a year and make it a 4-5 year deal. Even playing at his current level it would look like a steal in the final couple years right when Young is signing his big deal.

Oh I understand the long term benefits. I’m saying a GM (who was already paired with one HC that has been fired) doesn’t typically have that kind of time. Even if we struck gold with pick 36 (2nd round pass rushers hasn’t been our strength see Evette Brown and YGM) it still won’t produce what Burns will. Something else to remember is Evero said Burns is one of the main reasons he took this job. If Fitt makes that trade Evero might sign with the Vikings. I think we are trying to put together a good defense paired with a solid running game to help Young his rookie year. Burns being our best defender is a big part of that plan.

Higgins AND a future 1st wouldn’t happen. Plus Higgins is about to need a new contract as well. He is a great WR but have Chase draft the top defenses plus a safety every game makes life easier for him. I’m not sure he has the same results as a definite WR1 on an offense. Now imagine every QB we play having 5 seconds of a clean pocket because we have no pass rush. Imagine Young taking extra hits because we are constantly playing from behind. Burns is still very valuable to this franchise.
