Did my research. Totally expected something like this.

A plug and play rookie DE is rare. Burns came to the NFL with a bag of tricks.

I'd rather my DE have the moves but needs to add/maintain weight then have the weight but have to learn the moves....

and then there's this

notice it's not defensive rookie...2nd out of all rookies.

Speaking of this and not to derail too much ...our other rookie is also in the headlines but hopefully tonight he changes the narrative somewhat ...

According to PFF,  Will Grier is the lowest-graded rookie of any QB with at least 50 snaps so far this preseason.... (25.8). I actually didn't know they graded south of 30.

IMO, he just need the reps and more time to build his confidence. Give him a couple of years and some good Oline protection and I think he'll surprise.

This guy is a freak btw.

  No doubt. I usually don’t like trading up but Shazier left such a huge hole in the middle of that DEF, they almost had too. And there wasn’t another ILB anywhere close to as good as him and White.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
