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?

You must be really fun at parties

It's misguided to solely focus on sacks and try and nitpick based on that alone.

That being said, it was a single game that we won.....HR and BB both acknowledged in their post game pressers that they left some sacks out there.  They'll watch tape and work on finishing.  Give some credit to Wilson too.

Byron Bell the superstar?

Let's try this a different way, then. All things Huddlers have said of the following players:

Luke Kuechly - jumps on piles, racks up tackles but doesn't do much
Cam Newton - inaccurate passer, not a real leader, doesn't win in the clutch
Brian Burns - gets to the QB but can't sack him
Christian McCaffrey - we don't win when he plays, goes down too easily

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
