His skillset fits the 3-4 edge position better, but it's not like we can't just line him back up on the DL if he plays worse in the 3-4 (which I can't see happening).  Evero listed Burns as a top reason he wanted to come here and then proceeded to switch us to his 3-4.  He probably has a better understanding than most on how Burns should look.  

Waiting could be a dangerous game, but at the end of the day he is probably going to make a large amount of money regardless.  

he might be a better pass rusher as a 3-4 OLB.  He might not be.  Never seen it.  3-4 might also highlight some of his weaknesses more.  Don't know.

It appears to be a defense that is catered to both Burns and Browns strengths.  I really like Brown as a 3-4 DE vs a DT in a 4-3.    I get what you are saying though, it may look great on paper but it doesn't make it a guarantee.

if you are the Carolina Panthers, would you really want to give him a massive deal before you have seen him play a down in the new 3-4 scheme? 

 

I think everybody knows that he is going to absolutely kill it as a stand up OLB rusher.  His speed is his biggest asset and that is really gonna do him well as a 3/4 edge.

He is going to want more than Bosa and will get it.  It doesn't matter if people think Bosa is better, the last one to sign will get a slightly better contract

No way - he can't justify that at all.  I think he's going to recalculate what top 5 money means based on Bosa pushing the bar higher.

That's not how the NFL works.  He is going to get more cause he signed last and that's why he is waiting

I thought Rivera switched to a 3-4 defense for the 2019 season to try save his tenure? Atleast that was the talks before that season. If so, then Burns maybe have experience from such a system or did he play DE in Riveras system?

I'm not sure what the 2019 season was.  I thought we ran a mix of everything.  Both looks.  

I know we were horrific against the run.

Burns sucks at run defense. End of story.

Once we turned down that Rams deal we all but told Burns he will be resigned/extended and it will be for a large amount of money.  I would imagine we had some idea of what he was wanting before we turned down an offer like that.

This. If you turn down 2 first rounders and you don’t resign the guy you will be shown the door

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Basbear · Posted

      Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.

      I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.

      It's like with Friterer was the same as Canales. 'He's a great guy' and everyone loves him but Seattle had a HC opening with ties and no interview, even with a playoff appearance in a weak NFCS to boost his name. The NFL is all about ties and connections. It's so much more a small pond than most sectors could be so the corporate NFL bs is sooooo much thicker. All of those openings and no HC interviews? B Johnson is an anomaly, like a Kiffin, where usually you have guys that will go whereever to take a promotion even if it looks terrible for a distance, Wilks to Arizona comes to mind. It's weird and interesting how the NFL mirrors and then deviates from the rest of corporate America in their MOs.
