Let's talk about Burns.

I made a post in preseason about him not finishing plays. Once again he left us wanting.

He got a alot of pressure yesterday but only finished once. It just seems like the guy can't get a QB on the ground once his hands on him.

He absolutely should have had 2 sacks but probably 3. 

 

Now I know a lot of you love pressure and I do too but not getting a guy on the ground leads to busted TDs ,1st downs, clock stopping and at a minimum no loss of yards.

The guy has got to become Lamar Lathon or Kevin Greene soon.

 

Yes he gets pressure but I'll try to put it in a way you might understand. 

If you're broke and have a 9/10 GF and you almost get her off all the time but don't quite get her there how long do you think she'll be your GF?

Offensive lineman hold on every single play.

He has to get their hands off.

 

But that doesn't cancel the times the QB breaks his tackle.

Lamar Kevin LT all finished guys.

We have one of the top edge rushers in the game and your complaining.... 

 

Sacks can be random. Pressure is not.

Sacks are not the only thing he does.  First, he moved the QB off his mark a lot.  Second, he is the focus of the offense, so he allows others to get good matchups. Finally, one sack per game, if that is all he does, is a 17-sack season.

I will take it.

YGM is the DE we should be criticizing.  He made a play, but the 2 point conversion was all him.

I honestly believe we just got to give Wilson some credit here. I don't get the Wilson bashing. Dude looked very good all things considered. He made a few guys miss. Reddick looked pretty shocked after Zach broke one of his tackles. 

It's not just Wilson. A lot of QBs have escaped once he got hands on them since he's been here.

That's true. 

But YGM is nowhere near as talented.

    • Option 3....Reich didn't have a clue what to do, especially with a rookie QB. It wasn't that he wanted to draft a different QB. It's that he wanted a vet. I think he was in over his head even in Indy and barely managed to hang in because of the established QBs he had to work with. He knew what to do with vet QBs looking for a second chance because that's who he was as a pro. And the (limited) success he had as a player himself transferred on to his players. He didn't really have to reinvent much in Indy like he was going to have to do here. He was a likeable guy, but he wasn't enough as a leader as was needed for the cast of coaches and personalities he had here. To pull that off you'd need to be the biggest and strongest personality in the room and he never was. It was just a bad fit for a weak leader and head coach. I just don't think anyone except that for that cokehead in Indy knew just how weak Reich was.
    • Or he got the QB that he wanted and he was just overrated as a coach because he had a good QB(luck) or a good OC. 
    • I'm left with two possible conclusions here. One, Reich just saw a sucker in Tepper and hit him up for a check to ride into retirement on. Two, Reich took the job expecting a different QB to be the pick probably through his influence of the draft process. He and Bryce seemed like a major mismatch from the get go. Unless he was just looking for one last payday I really don't think he would've taken the job if he felt like Bryce would ultimately be the pick. There was a lot of talk about Reich always preferring QBs with good size and big arms. Now granted, all else being equal who doesn't? But it was always talked about that Bryce was basically the physical antithesis of what Reich had historically preferred at QB. Hell, maybe it was a little bit of both. I can get this newbie owner to give me a pile of money based on my experience because his woefully inexperienced coach flopped horribly and then hopefully I can influence the draft process to get the QB I want. If not, oh well. At least I got paid! LOL
