He all but put a target on the 15th pick of the 2021 draft when asked how he wanted the situation, being reviewed by the NFL for a possible fine, to turn out.

"It would be nice to have an apology, but it's not going to happen," Burns said Wednesday, the first time he has addressed the play. "However the NFL handles it, it's on them. I would just like to play them again.

"I wish all my fellow D-end brothers happy hunting. That's all."

 

Jones was asked Wednesday whether he thought about reaching out to Burns to apologize.

"I already addressed that situation," he said. "I'm just looking forward to playing in this game with the guys we have on our team this week. So we're already kind of moving forward and ready to play this week."

Burns laughed when asked whether he had heard from Jones or Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

"No," he said. "Not at all. They're not going to hook me up."

Burns also hasn't heard from the league.

"They can do what they please with the video," he said. "It's clear to see he held on to my ankle, swept my leg, twisted my ankle, whatever you want to call it."

The only people who are upset about an ankle tackle are panthers fans and it's sad. It was nothing.

nah, you can’t twist legs/ankles trying to ‘tackle’ someone or blocking someone rather (no one believes macs BS) and you certainly cannot try and kick your cleats into them lol

can’t do this whether it’s a ball carrier or not. Macs explanation screams bullshit.

would’ve been nice is Burns stomped on him and took the penalty, %100 justified

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
