He was single covered why would he need help?  But the answer to the question was burns was bad vs TB.  PFF - 55

Last year PFF had....

Troy Hill as the #4 CB in the NFL, Erick Rowe as the #7 safety in the NFL, Perryman as the number 8 LB in the NFL, YGM ranked ahead of Burns..... 

That's the hill or metric that I'm willing to die on.....  #keeppounding.... data

The problem is if he then goes and balls out this year, puts up 15 sacks, we’ll have to make him the highest paid defensive player in league history to be able to keep him.

The odds aren’t good that he’ll suck in the new system, particularly since he’s still going to just be rushing the passer on most snaps.

Better to lock him up now and maybe over pay his CURRENT market rate than risk having to pay market rate next offseason, which will 100% be higher if he has a good year.

We turned down 2 firsts for him, have to lock him up long term on a deal that doesn’t make him the highest paid defender in the league

I mean, sign me up for the version where he balls out ans keeps doing it. The money will get figured out.

Put Burns next to these guys and see what he does...

Reddick didn't just get the passer in Philly though. 

He did in Carolina the year prior.  He did it in Arizona prior to that.  He has consistently gotten to the QB more at every stop.   

and everyone keeps talking about Bosa money.  Burns isn't Julius Peppers.  He isn't a do everything DE.  He is a pass rushing specialist and people should be talking Reddick and the likes IMO.

I think bringing up Peppers is sort of relevant.  I don't think it is Burns hate to acknowledge Burns isn't a Peppers caliber DE.   Burns is more of a passing rushing specialist variety of DE.  And there should be a pay difference between the 2.  Bosa falls more in the tier Peppers once occupied than Burns IMO. 

  

That’s not what I’m saying at all.

So, now it's hate on Burns day. 

This place blows ass

nah, people twist things up and call everything hate.  Burns is awesome.  Doesn't mean there shouldn't be a limit on what the team pays. 

The huddle historically has begged for most of the contracts we later have spent years complaining about.  Almost every deal blasted around here was once endorsed here.

I wasn't attempting to portray that as an echoing post.  You happened to bring up Peppers.   And I was then using Peppers to make my own point.  My bad if that wasn't clear.

      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.
