There always seemed to be a excuse for Burns and the lack of sacks

At this point there isn’t an excuse left. We’ve seen him in a 4-3. We’ve seen him in a 3-4. We’ve seen him partnered up with a better pure pass rusher (Reddick). We’ve now seen him on a NY team with a very solid front 4. 

Burns is who he is. Would be the greatest touch football edge rusher in history if there was such a league but there’s not. He makes the odd splash and outside of that he’s a bit of a liability. 

The most annoying part of passing on the Rams trade is that they ended up with a guy in Jared Verse who is a better version of Brian Burns with a pick that should’ve been ours

Still boggles my mind that people couldn’t see how good that deal was. We laid out all the picks and cap savings and still some people said they’d rather have Burns. SMH.

Burns

or

Hunt + Lewis for the same cost/cap, Avila (G Rams took, probably don't sign Lewis), Verse (DE Rams took) and of course their 2025 1st (tankathon has Shavon Revel Jr CB).

Still amazes me how much people overrate our players. Franchise changing trade we declined to get a complimentary RB for Chuba.

Burns is just too light and doesn’t have the muscle and aggression. He likes the agility aspect of pass rushing but can’t take getting punched in the face and taken head on.

Peppers faced some similar criticism at times. But he blocked FGs, consistently got sacks, could play spy, LB, and get interceptions.

Kudos to Morgan? I’d give him kudos if he didn’t agree with Fitterer to not trade him to the Rams. He made lemonade from the lemon, but we were offered filet mignon.

You don't know what they did or did not agree on.

Everyone fell in love with Brian Burns that first time he got a sack for us and dropped into the Spider-man pose, myself included.

Then as the seasons went by, almost all of us realized that Brian was understrength and could be handled if you could get a square hit on him right off the mark, or could re-direct him around the QB. He was fast and bendy but that was about it. 

Truthfully, he would have been an excellent situational pass rusher but he really didn't have the oomph to be an Edge1 or full-time Edge2. 

But that Spider-man pose... that made him a lot of fans, including the GMs office at NYG.

Good luck to him, but we shoulda sent him to the Rams a year earlier.

He is genuinely much closer to being a $10 mil pass rusher than a $30 mil pass rusher.

Because one dimensional. 

edit: that Spiderman, he was talking that poo when we picked him I thought it was bullshit then. But I gave comic books up with puberty, basically.

Yeah and although he is still a top 15 pass rusher, he just isn't going to ever be a truly elite guy.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
