Burns isn't getting moved in the middle of the season with an interim coach. I don't know that he's worth the payday he's going to ask for but if we move him what becomes of the rest of the pass rush? What sparse resources we have going forward will or should be used to continue to build the oline and make this boring offense formidable again. It's easy to say get what you can for him but odds are those fans will be singing a different tune when they see our nonexistent pass rush and jag QB's having all day in the pocket.

I also see Cowboys fans jizzing all over themselves on Twitter demanding that Jerry go get them DJ Moore...  ESPN thsi week has also featured Keyshawn, JWill, and Max diacussing DJ to help their Giants.  As I've said elsewhere, we just fired our coach, our owner appears to be an arrogant, pompous idiot, and national media sees it as our franchise being in complete disarray, so of course, they view us as the NFL's little brother team that they can use to fulfill all of their fantasy trade needs...  fug logic and reasoning, "I wont that player from that team nobody cares about Jerrah!"  

But again, completely forget the fact that DJ just signed a contract extension and it makes NO fuging sense for us to trade him because of the cap hit we would incur.  I don't put any weight into any of these "reports."  These assholes from major markets are pushing this poo for clicks.

Is Burns over rated? His size limits him and he doesn’t get 10 sacks. Would he be better in a 3-4 as an OLB? 
 

he’s probably our most valuable asset and will be wanting a lot of money. Why not trade him when we can probably get a first and another top pick. Possibly 2 first? Or a first and a second or third? Pass rushers are highly valued.

Who cares we are tanking. We are going to need a few years to become a contender. Trade everyone now for maximum value or we can keep everyone on big contracts and stay an average to below average team.

Ones an in the box safety one is a pro bowl DE, I don’t buy that one minute 

Yeah but Jamal was looked at as the Luke Kuchely of SS. Strong locker room guy, elite in the box and was capable in coverage. The Seahawks thought he was the missing piece. The overpay sorta kinda made sense for a team looking to replace Kam.

Brian Burns is really good, but he's gonna want cap instantly so you have to weigh whether or not he's wroth it compared to getting a young talent in the Late first for 4-5 years.

Basically what I'm saying is Jamal was a special, dumb case. It's not gonna happen with Burns

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
