Burns is literally just a pass rusher. You can site his leadership, but his main on field contribution is pass rushing. 

I know Reddick was a one year rental, but lets not lie about why he wasnt retained. He is on a 3 year 45m contract and we are going to give Burns something like 5 years 140m.

You obviously don't value Burns as the team does.

Nobody anywhere in this thread said they didn’t want him. They simply explained why it was unrealistic we could have retained him. Stop with the dramatics. 

I’ll say it. You can’t bookend a defense with Reddick and Burns. Both of those guys get washed out too easy. You can never have enough good pass rushers, but you have to be able to stop the run. We could not consistently set the edge and maintain gap integrity with those two playing at the same time, it failed.

Switching to the other side of the headline, does anyone know what the "problem" with Houston is?

I mean his sack totals alone suggests he was an elite pass rusher, yet the contacts he was given and the fact that a lot of teams were willing to move on from him tells a different story. And I have never heard him talked about as real elite.

Has he been on anyone's secondary team so you know more?

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
