Brian Burns

No issues with the post.  

Burns was a good pick a month ago but if he has the opportunity to thrive with DTs like McCoy, Poe, and KK he could have a DROY type of season.

i will say this; if he can't perform with these three in front of him then man i dont know

Your OP isn’t an “OP”. It was Original in April when it was discussed ad nauseam. Now it’s just dumb timing.

Really gotta wonder what it takes to get banned.  This guy is a moron attacking every post with nothing intelligent to offer.  He is probably an orphan so I get going easy on the little fella but damn.

Not gonna lie, I would've taken Sweat but we got our guy. It was pretty obvious throughout the process that we were quite smitten with Burns.

Burns > Sweat overall. Sweat might be the rusher everyone wants but as @stbugs said, Burns will make many other plays other than at the line or behind it. He is a guy will excel in coverage which imo is huge in a pass happy league as he is not a designated rusher or liability in coverage. Actually should be a plus in coverage. Think he is behind Von Miller as the perfect olb as he's just not able to generate the power and anchor of Von when he gets engaged in the run game. But really he shouldn't be.

I'm not sold on him.  BUT - he hasn't played a down.  I'm willing to give him a chance and I remain hopeful, but not optimistic.

Bro there’s like 15 other topics on him. Everything you could say about burns has already been said. Really weird time for this thread

I think he will be a stud for us. Hopefully he bulks up his lower body before week 1. Might take a full offseason though

He looked really smooth in coverage and other drills. Made you think that he'll be much more than just a pass rusher.

He’s going to turn into our Kalil Mack. I’m going out on that limb and calling it now. He’s surrounded by studs. I’m not saying this year necessarily but I love the pick and I think he’s got the tools to be a beast and not just rushing the passer.

I am asking a question...does Burns have that fire to be great.  I wonder a lot on this guy.  

Yea it’s weird to wonder if he has fire today, today is more about how will Brian’s rookie season turn out now that we have put very good pieces in place to allow him to go out and have a defensive rookie of the year type of year based off stats and usually stats get you the national attention needed to get that award. Has anyone seen any video of him taking plays off or anything cause to that because I haven’t read that anywhere in any player profile out there.

Ugh... who was the user with the FSU info... i cant remember the name, but they mentioned concern with KB's weight the moment we drafted him and brought up his immaturity as well based on the folks he knew with info

 

Would be nice to hear what they have heard, if they have heard anything ofc

I remember the guy your talking about. He posted something about Burns and it was nothing but good signs from what I remember. Sorry I dont have the specifics but I remember being real pleased about his comments on Burns when we drafted him.

Burns should be fine.  The fact that he refers to himself as a comic book superhero tells you all you need to know about his passion.  Go Spidey!
