Hunt + Lewis >>>> Burns

The salary going to Hunt and Lewis will provide a far higher yield than Burns. 

Burns was flashy with his spin move

Burns had an awesome gimmick with the spider man crap

But when the game mattered, Burns has never been known to take over a make that difference

While Fitterer fumbled the bag BIG TIME, Morgan did the right thing and traded him to the Giants who's patience with him is already wearing thin

Hunt and Lewis have brought instant credibility to the O-line

My question, why didn't they run behind Hunt with 1st and goal at their 2?  3rd and 4th down were away from him. they ran behind the weaker players. I thought they were weaker, and they failed, so... 

they could set a formation to keep people from loading up his side. they didn't. 

I love linemen and both are good ones but there are some aspects of this resource allocation I am looking at a little sideways. Like we can't get 2 yards in three running plays?
 

I expected that adding them meant we would be able to get that a yard even when they know it is coming. And that poo didn't happen.

Burns is so fast tho…  gets to the spot in record time… but then he whiffs or bounces off the player.  Awful at setting the edge.  The guards have been more impactful in 4 weeks than burns was in the last 4 years. Giants got fleeced in the trade and robbed when they paid him.  

Burns also gets sealed off by a single TE defending the run

Rams sure missed on making a big mistake in the trade we stupidly declined.  That'll forever haunt us.

Nah… the picks is were like 4 or 5 years out… rams just had a first round pick for 1st time in 7 years. I dunno why that’s not part of the conversation surrounding that proposed trade.

No they weren't. It was a 23' 2nd, 24' 1st, 25' 1st. That's QB value for a defensive player that wasn't even a top 10 edge overall player. You take that and run as fast as you can every damn time.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
